Use GIMP to easily create trendy thumbnails for your RU-vid videos. Your subject will have a white outline and a glowing effect behind it. I see this sort of style being utilized quite often, and by really large RU-vidrs. With this tutorial, you'll be able to use it as well, and without having to spend money on Adobe Photoshop.

GIMP: www.gimp.org/
This tutorial is for GIMP version 2.8 and is intended to teach beginners how to use the software. GIMP is a great free alternative to Adobe Photoshop.

@Russman 3 года назад

I've watched this video over 100 times. I've watched it until I memorized it. This is an absolute gem, and the value it creates, honestly I don't think is outdone anywhere on RU-vid.

@Thomas-px2lh 5 месяцев назад

Haha same. I think I've finally memorised it after many, many views 😃

@pawaapu5493 4 года назад

I just want to say this. I watched this video at least 20 times every time I made a thumbnail for each of my youtube videos. Until I finally had it retained into my brain. Thank you for putting out such a clear and concise tutorial on how to make thumbnails. Now that I have these basics I would like to get into some more advanced things techniques. If you have a more advanced technique video LMK. Thanks again Nick!

@LogosByNick 4 года назад

@ThriftyAV 4 года назад

I learned some GIMP basics using one of your other videos, but this one taught me A LOT more. I already subscribe to you, but this particular vid has been bookmarked so I can go back to it. Now it's time to go back and UPDATE my 50something thumbnails to make them POP a little better. This may take a little time! Hopefully better thumbnails will help with my click-through analytics. Thank you for this tutorial.
