One of the best thumbnail tutorials out. Hands down

[@thrivecraftacademy]

I have learnt a lot from you, Vince. Thank you

[@kelvinjomo8944]

Thank you Opra for being generous and professional in your turorials. Your slow-spea, coherence and clear word pronunciation makes me easily grasp the concepts. Kindly drop a step-by- step tutorial on how to create a professional banner and social media text. Thank you.

[@vinceopra]

Great idea and thank you for the kind words! I will definitely make a video on that

[@kelvinjomo8944]

I will be waiting.

[@vinceopra]

Glad it helped!

[@kellywilliams5086]

Great video! You just gained another subscriber. One BIG tip for beginners like me. @ 5:04 you are creating a new layer. The UA-cam control bar is over the area you have the mouse so it's difficult to see. I figured it out but it would have been easier if I could have clearly seen what you were pointing to. People like me are going to follow you step by step and learn as we go because I don't know my way around PS , yet. Otherwise perfect video, I'm sure I will be watching a lot of your videos

[@Sadiqdbt15]

Your videos tutorial has helped me alot thanks bro

[@AnnaZuma21]

Hi, how do I remove the background from a picture after selectivo Quick Selection tool and select subject?

[@allinonethegreat]

God damn bro your videos are so straight forward. I always wanted to know how this was done. Thanks.

[@directionone-oldchannel]

super

[@PierceJPeterson]

So does it matter if you go with 1920x1080 or 1280x720? Also, do you save out as a PNG or JPEG? Thanks!

[@vinceopra]

Doesn’t matter cause yt will convert it anyways. Go with jpeg because the file can’t be bigger than 2mb for youtube.

[@oyiliagbopeter4425]

Thanks alot sir please u can also do video on how to create UA-cam channel art. Thanks

[@estasmagick]

Hey Vince, this was a great video. I actually followed along and it worked. Only thing is you said the Thumbnail is a certain size but you never went into detail about that

[@irvingmarmolejo9713]

Why does the resolution box setting say 118,11? I’m confused

[@AkhiSaotome]

nice

[@LudicrousH]

2:14 how am i supposed to know how to get the "white brush" vs "red brush"? it just is red.

[@washerooeditz]

11:54 🎉 Thank You

[@waztv2421]

Good Video

[@timothyflood]

very good

[@omgsicko3918]

How did you put the UA-cam logo into the thumbnail. You said drag and drop but I didn’t see anything being dragged or dropped

[@SlayerYT002]

Yes first like and fist comment!!!! Love you bro big fan!! Cant wait for the next one

[@vinceopra]

Appreciate the support!

[@SlayerYT002]

@@vinceopra ohhh my gooddddd I cabt beleive you replied to me sir 😍😍😍😍

[@GlendeGame]

Does it matter if my resolution is set at 118.11 instead of “118,11”?

[@arnolitocadiz5409]

what's the resolution?

[@kevinneesemusic]

At 1:17 you go into all the detail about the thumbnail image, but you don't show how to even get the image onto the thumbnail. As a beginner in all this, I'm lost from the beginning because I have no idea how to even get the image onto there...

[@omgsicko3918]

Background image keeps getting blurry from resize

[@TAQWA118]

using images from google image search , is legal or can create some issues?

[@TheCubingGod-dk5fn]

Same question

[@SofyaBarth]

you didn't show how u put the image in?

[@skyalicejessi]

That's what I noticed 😳

[@EffectiveLivingForToday]

You're not specific enough in how you do things; such as, "I create a new layer in the "THING." What thing?

[@zsedits7]

loru

[@SilverHunterN]

Cheers for this.
I have no idea how people literally get 500,000 views from such bad thumbnails, with a plain characters face on the left, with white text on the right saying "part 51". Part 51 of what? A game, a movie? And then when you click on it, it's some player constantly dying in a game Let's play, hence you just clicked on some idiot who lacks skills in thumbnail making and lacks skills in games!!
