And that information is related to your thumbnail. So what your thumbnail would be and how you want it to look like. Right. So in this case, I'm taking the example of this one, the biggest criminal of history like Hitler. So that is the main title of suppose my video. And I want the thumbnail to be something like this. So this method works with the free version of the Cha GPT and the premium version as well. The only difference between the free and the paid version is that in the free, you have some limited, I think, two or three image can be generated, whereas in the premium version, I think there is no limit. But even if you are using the free version, don't worry, we are going to use a second tool, which also has some limits, but we can use that in an unlimited way. I'll disclose that as 4. 02 ChatGPT Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: So first of all, you have to come to the chat GPT. So how you have to access this, I'm not going to tell you. This is very easy just search on the Internet and you will find it. So here you have to come here on the side bar and select on the Explore GPT. And this would open up this kind of page. So here you have some categories and some informations like this, so you can just click on the Co. Okay, or you can simply come on the top on the search bar and search for nail and press enter. So it would give you some results. So we have so many options. First of all, we are going to go with this one. So you can see this kind of interface it has nail Pro by Charles ggpts.com. So we'll click on the Start chat. So here we have to give it a command. So we need to just click on this. Click here to generate a T thumbnail. Click over here. So first of all, it's going to ask you some information that he's still saying that could you provide one of the following details a detailed description of what you want in the thumb name, a title of your video, the script of your video. So we are not supposed to give him all the information. Even if you will provide the title or how you want the thumb nail to be, that's sufficient. Alright. So in this case, we have just written that biggest criminal of history like Hitler. So we'll just simply copy the simple term, and we are going to paste it, and then we'll press and L et's see what Ed does. Thanks. All right. So now it's going to ask you what would be the theme or the style of your thumb nail. So thumbnail in famous historical figures, focusing on world's most notorious. No, basically, now it will show you how he is planning to create that thumb nail. So in this case, you can see he has already generated the theme that infamous historical figure, focusing on the world's most notorious criminal. Second image style would be the photo realistic, obviously we won that foreground, a close up of historical figures resembling Hitler showing a stern expression, possibly with a shadowy effect of an intense ipe, and it will give you the background, a dark ominous rope with symbol or elements of historical significance over et cetera. For example, at on landscape or imposing structures. And next is the text placement in style. No text but default unless like a brief text place. So does this sound good? If yes, I'll proceed with degenerating the um. So first of all, let's go with the default one default setting. And then we can simply say yes, so we'll type yes and re enter. So sometimes it gives you this kind of information. So it says that historical figures like H Hitler are restricted. So it says, if you like, we can try a different approach, you can either write a new description or tweak the theme significantly, focus on broader in famous criminals throughout history or any other angle you are Ming for. So we can just copy this one infamous criminal throughout history. So we'll just copy this, and then we can type. Okay, then go with the infamous criminal throughout history. And press enter, let's see what it does this time. It has started creating the image, and it has created this thumbnail. So you can see light of the bat. It looks just just amazing. And if you want to include some text, you can give the command. So here, it has given some options that here's the thumbnail featuring infamous criminal throughout history. Let me know know if you like any changes or improvement. 5. 03 Asking to make changes Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: First of all, what would you like to do the next. Here are some options. Obtain nail size 22080 by 720, so you can ask the chart APT to give it in a larger or big format. So it will generate according to this size, but I would suggest that never go with this 12 80 by 720. Just go by 1920 y eight. That's a bigger size. There's a full HD size and always go with that. Next, it if we give it a B option, provide feedback and improve nil. So we can provide some feedback and we can improve the thumnil. So we can make changes like suppose if you want these figures to be bigger or smaller. So obviously, we can write according to that, if you have something in mind, it all depends on you how you want your thumbnail to look like. Next, we have the include a face in the thumil. So you can include a face of the thumbnail, like if you want to include the face that would also be and then we have the generate a new mil, it can generate a new male or talk to AI them coach or we can further talk to this GBT. Now I want it to add the text. We'll type B, we'll just copy this and we'll paste this one. Here, you just ask me, let me know, what would you like to improve or change in the thermal. For example, if there is any specific about the compulsion, color corrected that you would like to be adjusted. Here, I would like to include the red color in it so that it just depicts the power and the intensity. So I will suggest that please include red color in the theme, red color for the contrast, and let's say blood strains and present. And you can see now it has generated and included the red color, and this one is also looking just amazing. So since I'm using the free version, you can see that you have reached your image creation. It gives you this option. So it will not be able to generate any further mail. So for the free version, you get the only two images, right? But don't worry, we can just use another tool. So here we can just write that please add text and then type column. Inverted comma and histories, gus criminals, and close this inverted comma. Press enter. Let's see what it does. 6. 04 What to Do if you have Reached the Limit Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: Oh. So if you have reached the limit, then it would give you that it seems like I can't generate any more images right now. Please try again later, and I'll be happy to help with you in the meantime, if you have any other question or need. Further assistance, feel free to let me know. So in this case, we can ask it to give us the image prompt so that we can generate it from other tools. So we'll write. Please give me image prompt for this nail. And and and it has given us this prompt, a photo realistic image featuring a group of famous criminals from history, their expression intense and menencing. The central figure is highlighted with a close up with other shadowy figure appears in the background. The background is dark and fore boarding, and present bars of blooming war tone landscape, bright red is used in the high contrast with bloodstains added to the enhanced the dynamic intense atmosphere at bold text, is biggest criminal placed prominently on the top part of the in the bright white or yellow letters for visibility and bactin. So we can just copy this one, and then we'll use the second tool to generate this thumb. 7. 05 Getting Thumbnail in Fll HD from ChatGpt Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: O. But let's give it at r if it can give us this one in big size. If we type this one, please give the thumb nail in 1920 by 1080, which you have generated earlier. Let's see what it does. It's analyzing and you can see it has given us the resize thumbnail, so we can just simply click and download it and you can see the thumb nail has been downloaded. If I open it, you can see. This is just summing. We can use further the photoshop or camera to add the text or the desired text 8. 06 Generating Thumbnail with IdeoGram: But let's see, now, I'll use the third party or the second tool to create this thumbnail. So I'll just copy this prompt, and then we'll go to the next tool, which is the ideogram. So if you go to the ideogram, this gives you some free credits to generate the images, and this one works best when you want to include some text. So I gives you the exact The correct text like other tools, which just makes it something weird in the text. I'll just paste this prompt right over here. Then here, we have to choose the setting. We need the aspect ratio to be 16 by nine unless you are generating it for the Instagram. We'll use 16 by nine, and all of these are things. If you're using the free version, then it would be public. Obviously, model would be the latest one, which is 2.0, which is the latest one. For the color buret, if you have something in mind, you can just keep it or otherwise, let it be. And simply click on the generate. And it's going to take some time. And once your image would be ready, it would be visible right over here. And you can see that thumbnail generation is done, so we can click it and you can see obviously, this is just just amazing. Here we have this one, and then we have the second one, we have the third one, and this is the fourth one. So you can just go with anything any of these, whichever you like. I think this one just looks amazing. This one is also very good. And you can see the text is 100% correct. Hundred percent c There is no mistake in the text like other tools, which makes it weird. H story's biggest crim. This one is also amazing. Each and every um nail just looks amazing. Now, suppose you have decided to go with this one or you can download all these four. How you can download it, just select this and click on these free roads, and then you have the download. Then if we are using the free version, obviously, we can download only in the 70% quality, but doesn't matter, we'll use the next two to enhance it. We'll download it, and then we have the next one. Then click on three dots, download and 70% quality. Then again, this one, download 70% qualities. This one, 70% quality. We have downloaded these and let me show you how these look. This is the first one, second one, third one, and fourth one. 9. 07 Upscaling Generated Thumbnails Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: So now the only problem is that it's in the smaller size, you can see 13 12 by 736. So obviously, this is the bigger size than what YouTube recommends, but we want in in the full ty. So you can go with this one as well, but we are going to use the next tool, and that is a paid tool, but I would also give you some free tool to enhance. So this is the clip drop by Jasper. So we will come over here on the image up scaler, and this is the up scaler. So here we can drop up to four or five. So let me just drop one of these clips. All right. So suppose I have this thumbnail, so I'll just drop it right over here. And then we have the option to choose. We want it to be 2x4x, eight x, and 66x. So we can choose detailed shower or smooth. So first of all, let's go with this one. And we want it to be two x. That's fine for us, then we'll click on the upscale, and you have to verify whether you are a human being, verify that, and thereafter it's going to process it and boom. It is done. So now you can see this is in full LT. So we can just click on the download, and that would be downloaded. Now if we go with this one. So this is in the full D now. It's more than full LD. So if we go with the details, you can see this is 26 24 by 14 72. Okay. So this is again very large. Using this tool, you can just do this, or let me show you one more pad tool. That is the TPAs photo AI. In this, we can even enhance it further, so it has a lot more options. You can just even try the free trial of this one. I'll just take this one, this snail and drop it over here. We can process the mags in a batch as well. So it's recovering faces. It will take some time to process the image. It has just process it, so we can zoom see. This was before, and this is after. So I think you can see this one is little blurry, and this one is a little sharp. So what we can do, we can add one more enhancement over here, so we can add announcement and ance the sharper. And add the sharper, and then we have the option of AI model to be standard, stronger lens blur, motion blur or standard. Just go for the standard, and we can even increase strength and minor D noise, et cetera and preside. Now it is sharp or we can just try some more strong and in the strength, we can increase the strength. This is 200% right over here, you can see. We want only it to be 100%. Let's go for 100%. So this is 100%, this one earlier, and this is now. So we can increase the strength. Or let's go for another one if it doesn't work or if we just cancel it. So actually, upscaling is not done. So if you click on the upscale, here we have the option to choose how much percentage we want it to be. We can go for 1x2x or four x, or it automatically gives the best size, or we can simply type right over here as well. We can choose pixels or inches. In this case, we want it to be, let's say, 1920 by 1080. It would be 1077 because of the aspect ratio of the origin. Nate. So we can go for AI model Standard 12, so we can just do this minor D noise, x compression, and minor debler, et cetera. After this, just press. So Upscaling is not done. That's why we are seeing this kind of result right. Now, once we are happy with these options, let's go and click on the save image. So we'll just save it, and then we can choose the location. I prefer to be the original location. Otherwise, it had some default location. Change that to the original. Folder, and then it's going to automatically suffix upscale glow. You can just suffix like upscaled simple, then you can click on the preserve format. If you want the PNG or DNG JPA, you can choose that one. I would prefer to go with the original format because that was the JPA, and then we can simply press save and it has exported. Now you can click on this folder to open it so that folder would be open and here you can see we have got this image and its size is now, you can see 1925, 1077, so let's open it, and you can see this is the full aT. Okay. So it has upscaled it. You can see the size right over here as well. So this is good and make sure you can use any tool, which is within your reach or you can search for more tools, but mostly I use these 10. 08 Upscaling with Photopea Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: And there is one more tool I would like to show you, which also helps to enhance the images. That one is still the paid one. So you can see the difference between these texts, you can see this X is little blurry and this one is a little sharp. Okay. So now we are going to close it, and I'm going to show you another tool which is paid. This tool is the paid one. However, you can just try it for free si, and this is the eight p photo P. So we are going to use the photo encer we'll click on the Start using it. And here we need to drop our image. In this case, since it was not a little sharp, let's see what it does on this one. So we just drop it over here. And it's going to use some model. So we have some models like SOP Soft version two, sharp. So we'll select this one and select faces. So it automatically detects the faces, and then we can click on the De. So it has detected these and now we can see the preview. So we'll just zoom in, and let's click on the preview. So after processing, it has given us this result. So you can see the different. But I think the earlier one was very sharp, so let's change the model to. Soft version two, and then click on the Preview. And this is the preview. But I still feel that this one was much sharper. Let's go for the next model that is sharp. Let's go for preview, and this gives us this kind of a result. Okay. This one is also looking good, but it's weird. So let's go for the soft version two or soft. Or if we don't want the Face model, we can just try the general model as well. So let's select the general model and click on the Preview. You can see in the general model, it has lots of detail over here. You can see. It is a little sharp and much better than the previous version. You can go for the general model. This one is also looking over, so you can try different options. It has other options as well. Like Denis model, text model. So we can click on the Dis your image has lots of noise. We can use other options like animation model, if you have the animation, so you can just do that one, and if you have the text, try that as well. But in this case, I'll go with the general model and thereafter. You have multiple images, you can apply the current setting to all the images. So here we have only one image, so you can add more to apply the same setting to that as well. And then here we can choose the resolution. So in this case, the resolution is 1970, that was the original. We are making it to 200%, 400% or 800%. So we'll go with hundred percent in this case, and then we're going to export it. In this also, you can select the setting and change the setting to save to same as source. By default, it's going to save it in the C file somewhere, but we'll select the same as source and then press and then export it. And it has exported, so you can just click on the eye button to view it or click on the folder to open the folder. We'll click on the eye to see the result. So here are the results. So it's going to preview right over here. Okay. So we'll just close it and then go back to our original folder and see. Okay, this is the file, finally, which we have got. This was the earlier one, and this was the starting image. Okay? And it has also increased size. So its size is now. You can see 4.69 B. And this is 383840 by 21 54, which is in four K. So you can use any tool which is within your reach to create the thumbnail and to get the desired look as So I hope you found this lecture useful. If you have any doubt, just let me know 11. 09 Useful Tips Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: And let me give you some tips to use this option of the chat GPT. If you're using the free version of Gchat GPT, it limits you with the two thumbnails or two image generations. So in that case, you can create multiple chat GPT accounts and have almost unlimited axis. Next, if you just run out of the image ideas on the ideogram, again, here you can also create multiple accounts, and you can generate more images. I think that this free plan or the ideogram, you can generate up to 40 Mages, you can see, which is not bad. You don't want to create 40 sum nails. Otherwise, you can go with the pro versions, or you can simply create multiple accounts and use it in an unlimited. 12. 10 Thumbnail Generation with Leaonardo ai Secret method: And then we have other tool as well, and that is the Leonardo. But in my experience, Leonardo AI, it also gives you free daily credits, and this is also very good in image creation, but in my experience, it does not understand the command properly and gives you good result. It gives you just okay results. But idiogram is best in my opinion because it gives you free credit up to 40 images, and it just produces the texts properly, and it just makes the text correct, and spelling is also correct. Which is very good. So Leonardo AI is also good for image donation, but in my opinion or in my experience, it does not understand the prompts properly. So let's test it right away, so go for the image creation. And here we need to at the prompt. So just delete the earlier one and paste this prompt, which we have copied or generated from the Char ZPD and click on the generate. So besides before going with that one, we can choose some presets, here are some styles. So you can choose style, but let's go with the Leonardo Phoenix, which is the latest one, and then we have the option of Auto NNS or we can simply turn it off. So basically, this is going to enhance our prompt and going to give us the best result. And we can choose the precess style like dynamic three D render Bouquet cinematic. Let's go for cinematic concept. And we can choose the contrast medium or high. So we want it to be high contrasty, that would look amazing. And generation model to be fast and quality obviously for the quality we need to have the access to the pre premium plan, which we don't have, so we'll stick with the free one. And then we can choose the aspect ratio again, 16 by nine, and the size to be medium because that is the maximum we can go with this one. So again, this is the larger than what YouTube recommends. YouTube recommends 12 80 by, 720 pixels. But this one is 13 76 by 78 68. And number of images obviously let B four so that we have more options to choose from and then don't touch the advanced settings. And simply click over here. Now close this one and simply click on the generate. And wait. So sometimes it gives us the warning that this prompt is blocked. So we can just change. Let's say, once again, let's try to do this. You can see free users are subject to restricted filtering, such as prompt has been blocked. Es maybe inappropriate content. May modify it from. So let's modify it a little bit, because it gives us this kind of a result because they don't allow this to be created with the free plants. So I think so let's change the blurred strains to with red strains added to an zramatic, intense atmosphere, let's see. After this, will it generate it? Let's click on the generate? And again, it again gives us this option, so let's change it to histories, criminals. I think criminals. It has has problem with the criminals. So let's delete this one. Let's try it. Okay. So let me undo it and change the criminal to culprits. I think this time it won't to give us the problem. Let's generate it. Again, it gives us the same problem. So that's a problem with the Leonardo. Let's click on this one. Improve prompt. Let's add it with AI. Make the prompt to work with strict policy of Leonardo AI. Okay? Let's see what it does. Okay. It has made some changes. Let's generate now. And you can see this time it started working. And you can see it has generated some images. So which is also good? Let's see the first one. So this is the first one notorious historical figures. So again, the image and the concept looks just amazing, but the text is not good. It is very small, which doesn't look good in the thumbnail. Se next one. You can see this one is also amazing, super realistic image, and again, notorious historical S. You can see it has made the mistake in the historical figure, and this is again not the bold text. So let's go for the next one. Notorious figures. So you can see it has just made the mess out of these texts. This is also not good, but the image and the concept is just amazing. So you can do one thing that you can go with the image only and don't ask it to write text, simply just generate the image and add the text in the photoshop or in the Canva as per your liking. And then next one, notorious historical figures. Alright, this text is correct, but again, this is not bold and big. Otherwise, concept wise, this is just amazing. So you can simply click on the download to download all of these. So let's see, I can download this one and this one and this one. Right? So this is how the Leonardo AI works. Or we can just simply, let's say change this. Let's see, whether it does that. Add big bold text that says notorious historical figures. Placed prominently on the bottom part. We can write bottom part of the image in the bright white or yellow letters for visibility. Okay, Let's see what it does this time, so we'll click on the Generate. All right. So this is the result. Again, the text is not of my liking, but concept and everything is good. You can see it has made the mess with the O as well. Let's see the next one. Notorious historical figures. This one is workable. This one is much better, so we can just download it. Next is and you can see notorious historica. It should have been historical figures, but it has written historica. Anyways, we can go with this one. Let's see next one. Notorious. Again, it has made the mess with the text. Let's go for next one. A Here we have the option to upscale as well. So this one was looking good. So here we have the option to upscale it. We can upscale it, or we can remove the background, or you can use this one. So we'll click on this scale, l Cm refiner. A. So this is for the paid venture, so we'll stick to the free one, and that is this one. We'll click on this and it's going to give us the result. So this is the original un joomed image. This has only Zoomed in. It does not gives us the scaling option. Right? So we can just download this one. All right. Again, we can use different results. So right off the bat, the images are just amazing, but the texts are not good. 13. 11 Outro Ai Thumbnail Sceret Method: So I hope you have learned something useful from this lecture, so don't forget to leave the five star review if you like this course. And if you want me to include more thumbnail designs, please let me know in the comments as well or in the Q and A section. So thank you. Have a nice day. 14. 1 Finding Thumbnail Idea: Hello, and welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, I will show you another way to recreate any popular thumb nail or even make it better. So for this purpose, we'll be using the Jack GPT and the YouTube. So over here, you can see if you go to the YouTube, and if you like any thumbnail, so suppose if I scroll through and find useful thumb nail, find a thumbnail, which I let's say, let me browse. Alright, suppose I like this thumbnail, and I want to create a thumbnail like this. So what I'll do, I'll right click and copy this link. And then I'll go to a website called YouTube thumbnail Downloader. And this is the website. All I have to do just paste the link over here, and it would show the thumb nail right over here. So we can click on this thumbnail. Right click and save this thumbnail. So we can give it any name and then save it. Now, close it. 15. 2 Secret Thumbnail Prompt: And now come back to the Chat GPT. Here we'll be using the Chat GPT attach file function. We'll upload that thumbnail right over here. So we'll click on this Attach icon and click on the load from the computer and we'll select this thumbnail and press open, and it's going to take some time. And once it is uploaded, then we will write this message. This is a YouTube thumbnail. Please describe it in detail and press enter. Hagipi would start analyzing it, and it would start describing it in detail. So you can see it has described this thumbnail. This thumbnail features a man sitting behind a table with a microphone in front of him, wearing a casual light color scene. You can shirt. He's holding two signs, one in each hand. That's right. Sign on his left reads subscriber plus 43 with a red down word arrow indicating a loss and subscriber, the sign on the right shows subscriber plus 7.5. So everything is just correct. So now we will give the further command to the char gepty. So we'll ask now act as act as an expert YouTube thumbnail designer and recreate a similar thumb nail, which is better than And if you want to include anything else, just give the command, otherwise, just press enter. And hat pity would start working on this. And you can see it has created the thumbnail, but this is not correct, or this is not similar. So Let's see what it says. Here is the res designed u thumbnail, which enhanced visual elements, highlighting the contrast between subscriber loss and gain. It has a clean and modern look to grab ention, in fact, let me know if you like. All right. So this is somewhat good, but you can see that this card is correct, but this one is not correct. So this arrow has to be upward, not downward. 16. 3 Modifying Thumbnail Design: So we'll tell her good job. But the second card, which has plus eight k features the downward arrow, whereas it should be upward. So please recreate this th nail with correct arrow direction and also make the back ground more interesting. I also want you to have the subject happy and excited expression and press enter. Now, let's see what it does. And boom. It has done a good job, but you can see these texts are not that good or cards are not looking that good. She is only eight K. Anyways, but it has still done a good job. You can see This was not that good, and this is much better than the earlier one. So you can see I've reached the limits. So I'll ask the hard APT two, much better. But the text on the second card is still missing plus C. So it should be plus eight k. Written with written clear. So both cards should have clear text and text. Okay. And we press enter. Now, since we have already utilized two options or two themnil generation, it may not generate the image. Okay. So again, you can see it has again, given us this masses, you have reached your image creation mate. Okay. No problem. Can you please give me the image prompt accordingly, and enter let it give the image prompt. All right, so this is the image prompt, and it is very important that we read this prompt properly. A YouTube umil featuring a man sitting at the desk with a microphone in front of him. Wearing a casual shirt. H is holding two signs on the left, the sign shows subscriber plus 50 with the red downward arrow, and on the right, the sign shows subscriber plus eight k with a green upward arrow. Both signs clearly display the plus symbol and the numbers. The man has happy and excited expression. The background is more studio. Set up with interesting lighting effects, colorful immune light and appealing decorations such as plants ourselves. That's good. The overall look is clean engaging and attention grabbing, emphasizing the contrast between gaining and losing subscribers. So that's correct, and I only want to make a little change over him, that where it has where it says that both signs clearly display the plus symbol and the numbers. So I'll just want to add this to that subscriber should also be displayed clearly 17. 4 Thumbnail in Ideogram Leonardo : But anyways, we'll now use the ideogram to further carry out this thumbnail recreation. We'll go to the ideogram and over here, we'll just paste this. Make sure you make changes. You select the aspht ro 16 by nine, and then press generate. Meanwhile, we'll be also using the Leonardo AI and we'll give the same prompt over here as well. So I'll just paste this and click on the Generate. We are not making changes to this image prompt. Let it be just like this and click on the Generate. Let's see which one generates better thumbnail for us. And make sure here also you have the 16 in nine sue. And over here is taking time. And you can see it has generated this snail. Let's see. This one is wrong because arrows are not in the correct direction. Let's see this one. Yeah, this one's still looking good. That's amazing. Let's see next one. All right. So it is good, but not again, there is an arrow problem. And yes, this one is good, but eyes are a little wed, right? So we can maybe go with this one. This one has the right expression and everything. It should have a little bit more close up rather than this one. Or we can make the background a little more colorful and contrasty so that this one should have more glue. So we can make changes to the sprawt, let's say, come over here. And the background is modern studio, set up with interesting effects, f Embian lights, and appealing decorations such as plants and selves. Background should be, should have high contrast and color full with glowing neon lights. The subject should have glow around edges. Let's see what it does this time. Let's click on the Generate. Meanwhile, Meanwhile, let's go to the Leonardo AI. Let's see what it has done. Alright, it has also generated. Let's check out. So this is the first one. Again, arrows are not correct, not good. Let's see this one, not It's again Again, wrong arrows. It's eight K, and it's showing downward arrow. Let's see this one. Okay, this one is may be usable, but expressions are a little off. Let's try another one. Okay, this is also good. So I don't think that we can use it, but background is good. This one, I think, seems a little usable, but again it should not have these eight k and all that. Let's Let's go with the. This one. Go back to the ideogram. Let's see what E does. All right. So Idiogram has again generated the image Yeah. This one is still amazing. Subscribers plus 58 k. It had changed the background more colorful. This one is looking just amazing. Let's go to another one. Now, this one is not good. This arrow should have been downward. But anyways, let's go to this one. Yeah. This one is also usable. This one is good because it has correct arrow. This is downward, this is upward. Let's see, next one. Okay, this one is also usable, but eyes are little off, so I prefer this one. This one is just best. So we can go with both of these, so we can just download these. Let's download this one, and we can download this one as well. And you can experiment and further modify this prompt and you can get the desired look. If we change the style from here, let's say from here, if we want to make it like anime, so we can click on the anime, and let's see what happens this time. Let's generate it. And in Leonardo AI, let's try to change the preset style. So from the cinematic, let's go to T D Render, or let's make it cinematic and change this model to Phoenix is the latest one. We'll go with that one only, or we can go with this one. Portrait perfect. Let's try this one. And click on G generate. Let's see what happens this time. Meanwhile, let's go back to the grom. Let's see what it has done. Yeah. It has created in the anime style. This is the first one. Again, arrow is wrong. Let's try the next one. Again, arrow is wrong. This one seems good. And yes, this one is just perfect because it has the upward arrow. This one is the downward arrow, and the background is just amazing, and this subject strands out from the background, so we can go with this one as well. So we can just download this. Okay. So let's go back to the Leonardo. Let's see what it has done. Okay, it has created, but you can see it doesn't understand the command properly. See what it has created. There are no cards, nothing. The man seems realistic, but again, it has nothing to do with our prompt. So whatever it has done, that's not according to our command. So I think this model, which is our earlier model, they are not that good. So Phoenix is the latest one. This one works best, so let's go for the Phoenix once again, and this time, let's generate. Click on the generate again. Let's see what happens? All right. So it has generated, but it is again in the same or similar style, but this one is looking good, much better than the earlier one because the expression are really good, and all the body parts are also looking good. Let's go for the second one. Yeah, this one is also good. But arrows are a little off. Let's say, this one, it doesn't have the arrow. This one. Okay, this is again, arrows are off. This is downward, this is plus one. It has made the mess. 18. 5 Final Thumbnails: But I think only this one is much better. First one, so we can just download it and use it. All right. So this was first thumb nail, which we want to recreate. So Chat GPT created this one first, and this is the second one. All right. So we can just ask the Chap to give it in. Full HD. Please get the thumbnail in HD, which you have created earlier Okay, it's not giving in full HD. Please give this in 1920 by 1080. Let's see what it does. Again, there is M size. All right, so it's not downloading, so we'll be using this one only. Let's see. So this is the first thumbnail, which was created by the second thumbnail, which we somehow. This was created by the Chat GPT. And then this is with the Leonardo AI, and this one is the Idiogram, using the anime style. And this was the normal using the Idiogram. And this was again the Idiogra right. So this is the starting one, and we have re created these thumbnails accordingly. Let me show you. So you can see this was the reference image, and we have recreated these thumbnails. So you can go with anything you like or whichever you like, and you can further modify them giving the chargeb command or changing the image prompt on Idiogram or leonardo, I. And hopefully, with some experiments, you will get the desired result or the result to your liking. A, so this is how you can recreate any thumb nail and even make it better or similar to any thumbnail on YouTube using the ChargeP Idiogram, and Leonardo AI. So thank you so much. Don't forget to leave the review of the course. See you soon. 19. 01 Create New Document YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop01: Welcome to the chapter one. First of all, we are going to create a new document for our thumbnail. As you know, that Youtube thumbnail has to be in high quality in order to get the more picks and more views. For that purpose, we are going to create a new full HD document on which we're going to build the thome. So let's start. First of all, we'll come over here and click on the new file. And from here, either you can go to the video, Film and video and choose the 1920 by 1080. At 72 PPI, you can select this one and it would be right over here. Otherwise, you can manually type 1920 by 1080 and resolution should be 72. But if you want to print it, then you can have it 4240 or 300 pixel per inch. And for the background, we are going to take it as black background. And then we'll click on the Create. Our document is created. All right, and you can see it has given us some guides, so we are going to hide these guides. So for that purpose, you need to press control or command, and then the column, and that would hide all these guidelines. Now we have to save this document. Sophie saves, we'll call it Youtube. Yes, under nail. And we are going to check this option, ICC profile RGV. That way we won't have any coloring issue while we upload or export our thumbnail to the tube. So we'll click on the save. Our document is same. So now let's add a gradient on this background. So for that purpose, we'll come over here on this little circle. Click on this and we will click on the gradient that would open up this gradient. Fill options. From here we can choose some presets. So we'll take this basic one click okay. From here we can customize it. So we'll change this color. So we'll double click it. Click on the gradient and open up these options. From here we have the black color over here. We'll click on this and we'll click on the color. And we'll choose something like over here. And we'll press okay. And that would create something, this from here from the style we are going to change it as radio. It starts from inside and goes outside. And let's adjust its setting. So let's make it 100% Let me type manually under percent and let's see how it looks. Okay, and if we check this reverse, that would give us this kind of a look. So we're center a little bit brighter and outside a little bit darker. So let's lower down the scale a little bit. Something like this. And we'll press okay, and we are going to save this document. So let's move on to the next lecture. 20. 02 Creating Graphs YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop02: Now we are going to create this graph. So let's start for this purpose. We'll take the Pan tool to press P on your keyboard. That would select the Pan tool, otherwise you can come over here and select the Pan tool. Then from the top, make sure you serect the shape, which is very important. And you can uncheck the fill right now, let the stroke color be green, something. Otherwise you can just double click it. And from the color picker you can choose bright green color and press okay. Later on we can change it, that's not a problem. And let's the stoke pixel to something like seven pixels now while holding control Alt or command or option. And then shift. And then with the mouse we, we'll zoom out the document. And then we'll click on this area and we'll create a graph, something like this. You can go anything like you, like maybe something and then click on this side and this side. And let's click it. Okay, So now the shape is created. Now we'll click on the Select Tool, or Move Tool. So we'll press V to select that. All right, so now our graph is ready. Let's see if you want, you can change this color. Let me show you how you can change this color. If you again select the pen tool, you can come over here on the stroke. We'll click on this and we will select the yellow color, something like this. You can have any color, it doesn't matter. I have taken this color, 9c802 if you want this to be precise or exact. And we'll press okay. Has created this graph. If you want, you can modify it the way you want for the moment. I'll take it something like this. Now we are going to add the glow to this graph. For that purpose, we'll come over here on this layer. This is the graph. Let's double click on the name and rename it graph. Now if double click on this blank area, that would open up the X panel or the layer style options over here. We'll click on the outer glow. If it is not available, click on this ex, and then you find the outer glow right over here. Click on this tab and we'll have the setting here. We are going to choose the yellow color. We'll double click it. And let's choose the yellow color. Like this, bright yellow. We'll press okay. And now we'll just modify it. So we'll click on the spread inside. So the spread zero and size, it's slower down the size. Something like this. Okay. We can even change this color to something else, which makes it a little bit more brighter. So we can sp color press. Okay, So let's experiment with spread. I think size is okay. Thing like this. 29 pixel is the size and spread is zero. And we'll press okay. So now graphics ready. Let's move on to the next lecture. 21. 03 Adding Glow to Graphs YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop03: Now we are going to add some glow over here on this graph. For that purpose, we'll take a new blank layer. So we'll click on this plus icon to create a new blank layer. This is the blank layer, we have just created it. Okay, we'll take the brush tool, we'll press on our keyboard, and we'll choose the soft round brush, which is by default. And we'll change the O 20% If you press two on your keyboard, that would make it 20% Then let's choose the yellow color. We can double click on this color and take the orange color, something like this orange color we have selected. Okay, You can move these crafts to change the hue. So we have taken this orange color and we'll press, okay. Now we will paint over here, something like this. Okay? At this time, looking ugly. Don't worry. We are going to fix it now. We will go to the filter and choose blur. And choose Gaussian blur. And let's blur it out something like this, so that it spreads accordingly. Something like this. Or if you want, you can spread it a little bit more. Maybe something like this is just fine. Okay. And I'm going to, let's change this to globe. Double click it and type Globe. Okay, And we're going to create a black mask over here. And let's create a mask over here. So we'll click on this, that would create a mask. And then we'll choose the brush already. This black color would be selected if you select the mask. And then we are going to remove certain part like this. Okay, we are going to make it something like this. All right, so glow part is complete. Let's move on to the next lecture. 22. 04 Adding Texts YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop04: Welcome to this lecture and now we are going to create the text for our thumbnail. For that purpose we'll come over here on this text tool or you can simply press on your keyboard and click that would create some dummy text. So we'll type viral on this. Then are going to change its color to white by clicking on this icon. And then we will change if you're using the latest version of the Prime Pro, then you have the option of properties. And from here also you can change the color and all these settings and the phone for this purpose I have taken is the Fra sense and it's black. Let's okay, black italic. For this purpose, I'm going to choose this one and I'm going to make it large. Let's make it 300 pixels. Let's see how it looks. All right, so I think we need to make it a little bit more large. And press the V on a keyboard. And drag it over here. Place it something like over here. And let's make it even more larger. If you hover your mouse over this type tool and drag it triton side, that's going to increase its size. If you press left click and drag it left side, that's going to lower down the size. I think 497 or let's make it 500. All right, 500 is just fine, large enough to be visible. And now we are going to create the subtitle or subtext for that purpose. We are going to make the room for that. For that purpose we will come over here on this rectangle marquee selection tool and then going to draw rectangle marquee, something like this over here. Let's move on to the bottom. If you press and hold the space, then you can move it up or down. I'll place it something like over here. Then we'll click on the mask, on this mask icon, and that would create the mask. At this moment, it only shows the inside of that mask. But we want the other way round. For that purpose, we'll select the mask and press control or to invert the mass. Now we have something like this. We are now going to type our text over here again. We'll take the type tool and click over here and we'll type animation. I think we need to uncheck, first of all, we need to re, select this text layer or select any other layer. And then click anywhere else. And then type animation. At this moment it's very large. Let's make it small properties, and let's make it 72 pixels. Let's see how small it is. All right, it's over here. Select the selection tool or move tool, and place it over here With this size. Let's increase its size so that it within our space. I think we have just messed with our text. Let's type it viral. Okay. Now, at this moment, I think size is good, but it's not spreading out to the entire area. For that purpose, we'll come over here in the corrector panel or in the properties panel, and we'll over our mouse or this VA and drag it. That would increase the spacing between the correct, we are working on the wrong layer. We need to select the animation layer. This layer, animation subtitle, and then drag on this, maybe something like this. Just fine won't. You can adjust it anywhere with the arrows key on your keyboard, you can precisely move them. Let's move spacing a little bit. Something like this. A little bit more, None that much. Maybe something like this. I think this one is looking good. Our text is ready. We are going to change its color later on when we'll place our other things right over here in order to organize it. What we'll do, we'll select both these two layers. And we'll select by pressing Shift and clicking on the second layer. And then we'll press control command G to group them together. And we'll rename it as T. Okay, we need to organize everything properly so that we can find them later on easily. Now let's move on to the next lecture. 23. 05 Adding Panda and Abstract Graphics YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop05: Welcome to this lecture. In this lecture we are going to place the graphic on our thumbnail. Let's drag this graphic. You can download all these assets from the download section, which have been used in this particular thumbnail in the new designs which will be added later on to this course. Let's, let's increase it, maybe over here. I think this way it looks and press check. This is done. Now let's place our logo of the Prempro. In this case you can use any other. This is the logo. Let me drag it over here. By holding old or option. We can scale it from the center and let's place it maybe over here. Now we'll bring in our Panda. This is our Panda. Let me make it something like this. Large check. Now we're going to remove its background. For this purpose, we can click over here on this option, Remove Background, And it does a pretty good job if you're using the previous version of the Photoshop. You can select Select Subject, and then you can remove with the help of the mask. All right, let me just place it something over here. I think this one is looking good. And now let's it this portion, let me place the lob over here and right click. If you right click on any subject, then you can select that particular layer. And let me place it over here and select the motion graphics. Let me make it over here and let's make it a little larger. Or scale it up, something like this, maybe over here. And let's move the graph a little bit. We'll select the graph, so this is the and glow. Let's group them together. We'll select the first one and press Shift to group them together. Press G to group them together and called graphs. Okay, let's make it like this and select the glow. Adjust it. All right, this is fine. And let's select the text. And move it something over here like this. Now let's add the glow to the meplogo. 24. 06 3D effect YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop06: All right, so for adding the glow or three D depth, we need to come to the FX panel or the layers style option. So we'll double click on this empty space that would open up the layers style. And from here, first of all, we are going to check the outer glow. And we are going to add some blue glow to this. We'll click on this color, and we'll choose blue color like this one. Okay, and we'll press okay. And now let's add one shadow, drop shadow. This drop shadow is added. We'll change the bland more to the normal. And click on this color. And we are going to make the color this one. When we'll move our mouse over any subject, it's going to pick that color. That color is picked and we'll press okay. And let's increase its opacity to 100% And at this time distance is 357. So let's bring it back to zero and spread it, increase this size. And let's change this angle to something like this. And we don't want this color, so we'll click on this, and we'll choose this color one. Okay? And we'll make it a little brighter. Something like this, rest, okay? And we'll increase its distance, something like this. And choose the size to zero. And let's change its angle a little bit. Something like this. Distance. Let's slow down the distance and let's make this color a little bit darker. We'll click on this, and let's make it a little bit darker, something like this. And this one is fine. And now we're going to add one more drop shadow. We'll click on this plus icon, that would add one more drop shadow. Now let's adjust this portion. Now we're going to change this color to a little bit lighter, so that it is visible here like this. And let's increase this distance a little bit more, something like this. And let's change the color, not that right, let's make it a little bit darker, something like this. I think this one is looking just fine. And press okay. And we'll press okay. Now glow and three D effect to our logo is created. Now let's work on the text panel. 25. 07 Customising Text YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop07: Now let's close this FX panel by clicking on this arrow. Now let's select the text. And let's bring it down under the graph. We'll click and drag it down. Just leave it only when you see these two lines. Okay? That way this would be under the graphs like we did in this original thumb. All right, now we are going to change the color of the animation or subtext. We'll right click on this, select the animation text, and that text is selected. Now we'll go to the Properties option over here, Properties, and click on this color. And we'll select this color by going to the logo. And that color is selected. And we'll press okay. All right, so it's almost done. Now we need to hop press control Z to undo it. Let's save it. And now we need to add a little bit of a blue color on this bottom to make it look like original one. This like. Okay, so for that, come on the bottom over here under the gradient fill. So we'll click on this and click on this black and white circle. And we'll select the solid color. And let's select this color, and let's make it a little bit darker. Something like this. I think this one is fine. And we'll press okay. But at this moment it's applied everywhere. But we don't want, we want only to be applied on the bottom side. So for that purpose we'll click on the mask, this mask. And then we'll select the gradient tool from here. And from the presets we will select this black too transparent gradient. And then we'll click on the top and make sure we select the linear gradient, not the radial. So we need to select this linear gradient. And then we'll click and drop it, something like this. Oh, we need to draw the other way around from the bottom to the top, because now the color is on the top, but we want it to the bottom, to the top. Or we can simply select the mask and press control or command I to invert that as well. All right, so let's make it a little bit more, let's draw it like this. Let's start from the beginning, let's undo everything. And now let's draw it this, and make sure it's on this side. I think this one is looking just fine and we are good to go. We'll zoom out to see whether our logo is looking good or not. And let's adjust the graphic a little bit more. So I'll right click and select the motion graphics. And let's place it maybe over here. Okay, let's see, the original one, and this is the one which we have created. We can move this under a little bit on this side. We can make the text little bit smaller as well. Right click on the text press control command and we will resize it. We'll little bit separation from the subjects so that it stands out. And press right click. All right, so I think this one is looking good. We are good to go. Press F multiple times on your screen and press control zero or command zero to see the full screen, final product. So this is our final chumnail. Now let me show you how you can export it in the next lecture for the best quality. 26. 08 Exporting for Best Quality YouTube Thumbnail in Photoshop08: Welcome to this lecture. In this lecture, we are going to learn how we can export our thumbnail to the best quality so that it stands out on tube. We can go to the file and select the export. And select the Save for Web Legacy. And from here make sure we select the PNG 24. That's going to give us the best quality. All right, but before that you have to check out the size as well. At the moment, 928.4 k. So that is the maximum size or approximate size of the final output. Make sure it is less than two MD, otherwise it will not be uploaded on the Youtube. At this time, Youtube accepts only the two MB size thumbnail. And thereafter you can click on the save and rouse the location and just save it. If your size is more than two MB, if your size is two, ME suppose somehow for some thumbnails its size is too large. Depending on how much effects we have apply. Then you can choose the JP option and select the maximum. And then make sure the quality is 100% as well. And that way you will have the less size. Okay. And then you can save that as well, but I would prefer if you have the text, then export it in the PNG, because in the PNG you will get the highest quality. So this is it. If you have any question, always leave that in a section or the common section. Don't forget to provide the feedback and rate the course. Thank you, bye. 27. 0 Download Assets for this Project : For creating this amazing thumbail, we need few assets. Number one is this Premier Pro logo. Second is this little arrow. Third is the Mask man. Fourth one is the Youtube logo, and fifth one is this smaller image. You can download all these assets from the exercise file, sections, download it, and follow along to strengthen your learning. So without further ado, let's get started. 28. 01 Creating a New Document : All right, so let's launch the ROP Photoshop. First of all, we need to create a document. So for that purpose, we'll click on this new file. This would open up this dialogue. And under the film and video, you can select this 1920 by 1080 at 72 Excel per engine. That's fine for Web because you're supposed to upload this on Youtube. But if you would like to print it, then you can have the resolution, 240 or 300. Alright. So you can manually type as well, 1920 by 1080, and orientation should be the horizontal. And you can just name this preset, but this is already there. And from this background we are going to select black. Make sure the color mode is RGB and not other one because if you have messed with the setting, then it might be different for you and eight bit is just fine for this one and thereafter, just need to click on the greate. That's going to create a new document for us. Now we are going to build up our thumbnail on this particular document. Let's see you in the next lecture. 29. 02 Creating Graphs and Adding Glow: Now first of all, let's create this graph. For this purpose, we are going to take the pen tool. Here is the pen tool. You can simply press P on your keyboard, or you can simply access it right from here. And then we need to change some setting from, by default it may be the path, but we have to select the shape. And then make sure you select the fill. And then click on this nun, there would be no fill. And then click on the stroke, and make sure you select any color. At this moment maybe let's say this one, we can change that later on and make sure the should be seven pixel. We can even change that later on. And now while pressing Control Old and Space part. And with our mouse we can zoom out the document a little bit or you can press command option and space. And then with your mouse you can zoom in and out, losing your mouse. All right, so now we're going to create this kind of a graph for this purpose. We'll click once over here and just do this randomly. There is nothing needs to be changed or created like that. And then make sure we keep on drawing and close this path. Now we got this graph. If we select anywhere else on this empty space, this line or this path would go away. Now we have this path, but the line is a little thin. We need to make it a little thick. So again, we'll select the pen tool, and from the top we can just make it, let's say ten pixel. And now if we just do this, let's increase it to ten pixel. Okay. And this one is just fine. Okay. And if you want you can even adjust this area. So this purpose we need to press control or command, and then we can click and just adjust this handle. Okay, Something like this. Let's see. Yes, it's almost similar. All right, so we can just control and make it look like this. And if you click anywhere on these points, that would remove that point as well. All right, so I think this one is just fine. We are good with this shape. So we'll double click on this and we'll call it graph, so that we can identify it. And now save this as a PSD. So I'm going to save this as a mask man nail, okay? And make sure you check this ICC Profile RGB, that we will not have any coloring issue while we upload this on Youtube and press Save. Okay, so now we have got a basic graph. Now we need to add some glue to this so we can even change its color. In order to change this, we need to select the pan tule once again. And go on the top on the stroke and click on this to change its color. And then we're going to select this sky blue color, something like this. Okay, And this would change its color. Now it's time to add the glue. For that purpose, we need to double click on this empty space that could open up the layer style or effixtyles. Then we need to click on this option outer glow. If it is not shown over here, click on this effix, I can. And choose the outer glow from here. And now we need to make some settings. So let's just this something over here. To click on the outer glow, select this, and thereafter, let's choose the blue color. We'll click on this color, and we'll take the blue color from here. Something like this. And that would add this blue glow. Let's see our thumbnail. So it has a sky blue color. Let's change this to sky blue color. All right, that's fine. And we'll press, we got the glow in the graph. Let's save the document. Don't forget to save your document now, let's add some glue. More glow over here. You can see right over here, there is a lot of glow. What we'll do, we'll press control or command and then click on this graph layer with our mouse. And that would make a selection of our graph. And then we on this plus kin to create a new layer, black layer. And then we'll choose the brush tool by pressing on keyboard. And double click on this to change the color to something like this. And press okay. And then make sure the opacity is around 20% We'll press two on keyboard, that would make it 20% And then we'll start painting over here in this com, little bit on this side as well. All right, so we have done it, let's make it a little bit now our background is ready, so we'll press control D to deselect this selection. And then we can select both of these is by pressing shift and press control gang to group them together. And let's call it graphs and globe. All right, and let's name the globe part as well. So this is the layer one. Let's call it globe. So now we have got the globe and if you want you can adjust its opacity as well, something like this. Or we can add some gaugan blur to this. So we'll go to the filter blur and choose the Gaugian blur. Let's choose small gaugan blur, something like this. This is just fine. So let's move on to the next lecture. 30. 03 Adding Maskman and Dollar Bills : Now this is the time to bring in the mask men to our project. So this is the mask men, and let's bring it over here by dragging and dropping. You can download it from the exercise file section and let's resize it to something like over here because we want to place it right over here. And press right. And then if you're using the Ob Photoshop 2024, then you might have this option remote background. So let's select this. Let's see what it does. All right, so it has done a good job. Somewhat a good job. We don't want the bottom area. So we'll select the brush tool. And make sure you select the mask from here. And then make sure the opacity is 100% And this color should be the foreground color, should be the black. And then with the brush tool, let's remove this area. All right? And let's refine it a little bit from here as well. And something a little bit from here as well. Okay, you can spend a little bit more time to refine it, but for me this is just fine for the moment. And we have placed it on the right version. Okay, let's move it a little bit on this side. We'll select the move tool and move it somewhere around here. Now is the time to bring this. And you can see this has come over here, so drag it upward to get it out of the graphs layer. And click on this to close this group. Okay, so we have placed the mask men and now is the time to bring in the dollars. So let's bring that image, this is the image. And drop it over here. And let's resize it by pressing Alter option. We can scale it from the center and let's place it around here. Maybe something like here. Let's see, let's make it a little bigger, something like this. And press the Enter or Jack mark. And now we are going to remove the hard edges. For this purpose, we'll click on this mask to create a mask to this. And again we'll choose the brush tool, make sure the brush is soft, round this one. This is zero hardness and opacity. Let's say under. And we can increase the size of the brush with the right arrow bracket and the left bracket. Now let's paint on and make it something like this. Let's remove it a little bit from this side as well. And if you mistakenly do something else, then press X to flip this color to white. And then you can paint to bring that back. All right, so this is how you can do it. I think this one is looking just fine. Let's see our thumbnail. Yeah, this is the original thumbnail. This is fine. We can make it a little bit bigger as well, but for the moment it's fine. Okay, so this is after we have played. Now is the time to bring in our Youtube blog on. 31. 04 Placing YouTube Logo and Creating 3D depth : All right, so this is the Youtube blogo. Let's drop it over here and place it maybe over here. Make it a little smaller, something like this. And we can change its perspective, like in this thumbnail. So for this purpose, we'll right click and select to the perspective. Then we can grab one of these handles, and while pressing ship, we can just drag it this side and make it something like this. Okay? Let's see whether it's similar. Okay. It's not similar, so it's like this. Okay. And press check map. So our logo is Pla. Now it's time to add the three D depth to this logo like in this one. So for this purpose, I have created some styles, so you can download these styles as well, and then with one click you can apply that. So at this moment you can see this is not that much. So we can customize it and how I created, I'll show that as well. So double click on the plank panel that would open up the FX panel. And over here I have added some drop shadow and one more drop shadow. All right, so if you want to add more drop shadow effect, just click on the plus and that could add another drop shadow effect. Okay, you can see we don't need that one, so I'm going to delete this. Okay, now's the time to adjust means just delete this one. Now's the time to adjust its setting to create the depth. Let's move it on this side. By pressing the space bar, you can space it or you can place it anywhere else. And now if I zoom in, let's increase the distance to something like this, okay? And make sure the spread is zero and the size is zero. Because if we increase the spread, that's going to make it little glowy or transparent, which we don't want. So I'll bring that back and select the second rope shadow effect. And increase its distance as well to something like this. Okay, maybe 42 pixels in this case. And then you can create a new style and save this as a style. So that way would be available under these styles. If you click this is the FX panel or the style panel. And if you put down, you can see we have created this style right now. If it doesn't show over here, go to the windows and make sure you check these styles. And that way it would appear somewhere right over here. Let's move on to the next lecture. 32. 05 Placing Premiere Pro Logo and 3D Depth : Now is the time to bring in the Premier Pro logo. So let's drop it over here and let's resize it by pressing old or option. We can resize it from the center. Let's make it something like over here. And let's see, our original logo, original thumbnail. All right, so something like this is just fine and press check mark, and now we need to apply the same trade effect to this one. So we have created earlier a style and we have saved that style from the Tube logo. So we'll just apply that as we, so this is the style which we have created. Let's click on this, And that would create this style. But at this moment it doesn't look good because has different colors. So we are going to fix and make it something like this. For this purpose we'll again come over here in the F X panel. So we'll double click it. That would open up the F X panel, and then in the top shadow will theropshadow and click on this color. And we'll take this color, and let's make it a little darker, something, let's say how was it in this? Something a little darker, something like this. Okay, And press okay. Now select the second shadow effect. Click on this color. And now let's choose color, something which is darker. So we'll take the color from the logo itself. So if move our mouse on this, that's going to pick that color, and this one is looking good. Let's see our original logo. Okay, so we need to press okay. And then need to increase its distance a little bit. So at this moment distance is low, so let's increase it to something like this, 49. Or maybe. Yeah, that's just fine. And press Okay. You can save this style as well for your later use. So let's save this style. You can click on the New Style and rename it as Premier C Treaty. So that you can easily identify it. And press. Okay. And so now this is done. Let's move on to the next lecture. 33. 06 Placing Arrow and Changing Colour : Welcome to this lecture. Now is the time to bring in the arrow to our scene. Let's stop it. And while moving our mouse on one of these corners, we can rotate it. Let's make it something like this and let's resize it. Make it a little larger by pressing Alt or option, we can make it something like this and press check Mark. At this moment this is black, so we are going to make this red. For that purpose again, we'll come back to the FX panel, double click it. This would open up the FX panel. And from this X we'll select the color overlay. And from here we click on the color and move this color to the Youtube logo. To pick that color, and we can press okay, and we'll press, okay, now our arrow is changed to the Dc. Okay, so let's see. It's somewhat similar, so we can rotate it a little bit as well, something over here. All right, so this is just fine. Now is the time to create our top bar. See you in the next lecture. 34. 07 Creating Green Bar and Adding Text : Welcome to this lecture. Now is the time to create the top green bar like this For this purpose, make sure we'll go down, we'll select the background because we want this top bar to be under the graphs. We'll select this and create a new blank layer. That would create a new blank layer. And then we need to come over here and make sure you select the Rectangle Shape tool and then make sure in the top we have the shape. And then click on the fill and choose this green color. Let's choose something else. Click on this, and let's select this color, something like this. This is the exact number, If you want to it down and press Okay. And then make sure you select on the stroke and choose none, because we don't want that, we don't want any stroke. And now we'll draw this rectangle, something like here. Okay, So you can see this one is now created. Now is the time to add our text if you want. We can even move it a little bit on the top and we can move the logo. If you write, click on any object and then it would show you the names of that layer. If you select that, that's going to automatically select that layer and then we can move it down. Otherwise, manually have to find each and everything. And that would take so much of time. So instead what you can do, you can just right click and choose the name of that file, and then you can move that easily. So I think Premier Pro logo is just fine over here. Now let's add some text. So we'll move on the top Player. Okay, and then we'll press the T or you can come over here in the type tool. And from here make sure you select the font. You can choose any bold font I'm going to use. Let's say tone or Uni Sense. I don't know which font I've used for this one. Okay, I think this one is Uni Sense, black, bad, italic. And then make sure the color is white. So if you click on the color, we can pick the white color and press okay. And now we'll click that would create some my text. And then we can write our text faceless channel. Okay. And then we can adjust setting. So at this moment it's 100, so let's make it zero so that these correctors would move a little closer. And we can select the move tool, and then we can just move them a little bit on this side. Okay, you can see now this gap is removed. So right click and select faceless channel. And then let's bring it something over here. And then while holding old auction, if we drag it anyway, that's going to create a duplicate copy of that. Now we'll double click it on this layer and call it editing tricks and check mark. Now in order to bring this life or more visible, we need to add some shadow to this, like we did in this case in this original thumbnail. We'll come over here on the text layer. Double click on the empty space to bring in the FX panel. And then we will click on the drop shadow once, and let's select the black color. And then we can bring down the distance to something like this, maybe seven pixels. And increase the size and spread if you want or not touch the spread. Increase the size to let's say 18 pixels, just fine. And you can create it as a new style. Press okay, and press okay. Now we can apply the same effect to another one or this second text. There are two ways. Number one is by going to the styles or X panels. We have just saved this preset. So we can either click on this, that would apply this effect, or what we can do. There is another way. If you have not saved the preset, what you can do, you can see this ex panel or this ex icon or little ex symbol. While holding alter option, you can simply drag it on the top text. Make sure you keep on pressing the alter option, otherwise this will not copy other. It would move the effect from this to second one which we don't want obviously. Now this one is also done. Let's see our original thumbnail. We are very close to this, I think we are just fine. Let's bring this something over here, and this is probably over here. We can keep it like this or you can just change this graph. Let's right click and choose the graph then while using the pen tool. So we'll press P and we can select any of these shapes. And let's make it something like this. While pressing control, we can adjust these points and move tool, Okay? And if you press anywhere else, you can see this looks something like this. And this is a globe which was earlier there. So we'll select this glow layer and we are going to remove this glue. So this is the extra globe which we don't want. So we'll press E for Eraser tool. And make sure you select the soft round brush and then you can remove this part. And you can also remove the bottom bar. So we'll select the move tool, right click and select the rectangle. And this is the rectangle, so on to create a mask that would create a mask. And now with the brush tool and make sure foreground color is black, we can make the size of the brush smaller with the left bracket. And we'll click here once. And while pressing Shift, we can click here. That's going to remove, that's going to create a straight line. So that would be easy for us to remove this. Okay, so now this looks something like this. And if this blue color is not what you are looking for, because in the original thumbnail, we have something different color. So you can always use this option, so this is the glow. So we can go to the adjustment and select the hue and saturation. And make sure you click on this icon so that way it would be clipped to the glow only. If we move this hue slider, that's going to change the cloe only so we can make it something like this. So this was the original color in a thumbnail, something like this. And at this moment, there is too much glow over here, so we need to remove that as well. So for that purpose, we'll select the globe and click on the mask to create a mask. And choose the brush tool and make sure the brush is soft, round, and with opacity around 10% We can just remove certain part from here. Something like this, like original name. And if you want to bring back something, press X. Make sure the foreground color is white. And if you press X, that's going to flip these. Okay? So white is going to bring it back and black is going to remove that. And thereafter we can just paint it something like here. I think this is just final look if you press multiple times. So this is our final thumbail, which we have. Just create it, and I hope you found this useful. Make sure you create your own thumbnail and share it with me so that I can give you feedback. And if you have any problem, if you have any question related to the course or related to the Photoshop, that you can ask me in the command section or in the Q and A section. Thank you. See you in the next project. 35. 1 Preparing Project and Background in Photoshop: So let's create a new document, click on the new file, and from here, let's take this preset. Make sure you type 1080 by 1920, or if you have this 1920 by 1080, just click on the orientation as vertical, and that way, it would be flipped. I make sure resolution is 72, which is enough for social media or for this project. But if you plan to print it, you can go for 240 or 300. And then for the background, we are going to take the black and thereafter, just click on the Create. So our document is ready. Now it's time to bring in the background. So if you download the YouTube thumbnail pack, from there, you will this folder inside this folder, you will see the abstract folder. And in the abstract folder, basically, by the way, I have opened this in the Adobe Bridge software, which is good for the easy browsing of various files. So I've selected this one, Abstract 89, drag it and drop it over here, and then make sure we press Shift and flip it, something like this. And then while holding Old or option, we can scale it up to fit the background. So while holding old, it's going to scale from the center. If we don't hold the old or option, then it's going to scale from one side, Okay, which we don't want, but we want it to be scaled from both sides. So once that is done, we'll click on this one, checkmark, or we can simply press Enter. So now we are going to quickly save it. And while saving it as a PSD, make sure you check this ICC profile RGB. That way we consistency in the colors and what we see on PC and what we see on finally the web or different browser. Once we have saved it, make sure you make it a habit to press control as command is while making the thumbnail. Now let's lower down the opacity of this background. Let's go to the opacity and make it something like 36, 31%, that we'll have the darker background. 36. 2 Preparing Subject Image in Camera Raw Filter Photoshop: Now it's time to bring in the subject and prepare the subject. You'll find this image in the project file, drag it over here and make sure you press Enter, and thereafter we are going to take it to the AOB camera row, and then we are going to make the edit over there. So let's go to the filter and select Camera Row filter, or you can simply press the shortcut key that is Control, Shift on A or Shift Control plus A. And that's going to launch the AOB camera we'll come over here and first, we'll check this auto option. That's going to fix some of the problem. Then we are going to manually do it. So let's come to the light and increase the exposure because we want it to be a little bit brighter and let's increase the contrast a little bit and lower down the highlights so that we get more of the details on the shirt. And then let's increase the shadow. Let's open up the shadow, something like this. And let's increase the white, as well. And you can this is before, and this is after. So let's good. And now let's come to the details, and let's increase the sharpening to something like this. Okay. That way, it's going to increase the sharpening. And then we'll press and whole alt or option. And while holding Alt or option, we'll increase this masking slider. And until we see only the white edges. So that way, it's going to apply only on those white edges and not everywhere. This is what we want. So thereafter, we'll release that, and you can see it has increased it has enhanced the details and increase the details in the ses or in the areas which should be a little bit sharper. And now it's time to make the skin smooth. So for this purpose, we are going to use the effects panel. So we'll just open up that and thereafter on the texture, we'll just bring it down. The more you will bring it down, it's going to make it more smooth. So for these kind of for the thumbnail purpose, we need to have something which has a plastic look. So we are not going here for the natural look, but something which is bright and something a little bit weird, right? So this is what is trending in the or this is what works in the thumbnail. Because if you go normal way or in the natural way, that's not going to look good. Okay? So this is the effect. If we just press on this eye button, that way you'll see this before and this is after. So we have made it brighter and we smooth out the skin as well. And then we'll come to the calibration, and from here, we can just adjust these. So we'll increase the hue, red primary to something, let's say, add a little bit orange on this side. If you want, you can increase it more. But I would prefer something like this. Okay. And then we have the green primary and we'll take it towards the science side. And then we have the blue hue, so we'll take this as well towards this greener side, okay? Something like this. And you can see we have more of the red skin. So we don't want that, so we'll have less effect of this. So something like this, so we have basically the cyan and orange. Since my laptop screen is not that much calibrated and it shows more of the red, what I see here on the laptop. But when I export this and upload it on the social media, it shows more of the red color. So I'm going to have the less red color, okay? So I'll just bring it to something like this. So I'm going to go for the sutle look. And then if we press and hold the eye button, we can see this is before and this is after. And once we are done, then we are going to press the OK button. And you can see our image is prepared. And since it was a smart filter, it has been applied. We can just double click it and go back to the smart filter and make changes anytime we want. So we'll press Okay, and that's done, and let's click on this arrow to close this smart filter and press Control S to save it or commands. It's very important that you keep on doing it. Otherwise, you may lose your progress. In the next lecture, we are going to add the highlights and remove the background. So let's see you in the next lecture. 37. 3 Rim or Glow Light to the Subject in Photoshop: Alright, so in this lecture, we are going to prepare the subjects. So let's come over here and select on this remove background. So it's going to take a while, and it's going to remove the background. Let's see what it has done. Alright, it has done a pretty good job, but we see a little bit problem over here and over here. So let's clean this for this purpose, we are going to select the mask, and then we are going to choose the brush tool. So we'll press B on our keyboard, or we can simply come over here and select this brush tool. And from here, we are going to take this default soft round brush with 0% hardness, and we can adjust a size from here, and let's take the opacity to 100% flow to 100%, let's slow down the smoothing to 0%. And then we can quickly resize the brush with the help of left bracket or the right bracket. And then make sure we have the fecund color as the black, if it is not black and if it is something else, let's say, if you have this color, suppose you have different color over here, so simply press D on your keyboard, that's going to make it default. And then you can flip with the help of pressing X. So if you press X, it's going to keep on flipping the color. So make sure the foreground color is black. That way we can remove this part. If you press white or if we paint with the white, it's going to bring that back. Alright? So something like this. So I'm carefully just cleaning these. Okay? That's good. And let's work on this side as Alright, so this is done almost, yes. Alright, so this is done. And now we are going to add the highlights to the subject. So there are basically many different ways of doing this. So let me first show you the first method, which is the easiest or the fastest method. So for this purpose, you have to come over here and double click on this panel on the empty space, and that's going to launch the layer styles. So from here, we can choose the inner glow. So once we are going to select this sure the blend mode should be the screen and we can choose this color. So for this purpose, I'm going to go for this look. So we'll select this color or let's say I can go for this right. So I'm going to select this ion color and press. Okay, and make sure you increase the size according to your image. So you can see this is the size option. So we'll check our image and let's see how much effect we want. So let's say I want something like this, press. Okay. So that's the first way of adding cool highlights or the rim lights on the subject. And let me show you the second way. So I'm going to turn this off. Okay? So from here, we can turn off the effects easily. So let's save it. And for this purpose, we are going to make a selection of the subject. Okay? But before doing that, we have to select the brush tool. So we'll come over. And make sure this time we'll choose this hard round brush. And thereafter we are going to the windows and selex brush setting. And in the brush setting, we are going to remove the space. So at this time it's five person, so we are going to make it 1%. So we don't want any space in this, okay. And then we are going to make a selection of the subjects. So for this purpose, we are going to on this mask while holding Control or command. And you can see immediately it's going to make this selection, right? Now, we'll come over here and click on this icon on the paths option. If it is not shown over here, just go to the Windows and make sure you select the paths. That way, it would be visible right over here. And over here, we need to click on this to convert this to a path. So you can see we have got a path. Now we're going to create a new blank layer. So we'll click on this plus icon. That's going to add a new layer. So here we are going to work on this. So here we'll be adding the highlight. So now we have got this, we'll right click. Now we are going to select the Pen tool. So we need to select the Pen tool for this one. And from here, we'll right click and choose the stroke path option. And from here, make sure from the tools we select the brush, and we can press the simulate pressure. So that way we'll have the narrow edges. Somewhere, we will have the proper brush strokes. So once we'll do this, let's click somewhere else or click on the empty area in the working path. Thing like this and we can see we have got this result. So if you press Control or Alt at the same time or command or option at the same time and click on this I I button. So if we turn off everything, you can see we have got this result. But this is the black color, we forgot to change the color, right? So we are going to undo it and we are going to set the color. So we'll click on this and then we are going to choose this color. And we'll press Okay. And once again, we'll select the Pen tool. Again, we'll right click and select the stroke path option. Make sure we select the layer first, right click and select the stroke path option. And then, again, brush would be selected last setting which we have selected that would be already over here and simply press Okay, and that's going to make path or that stroke right over here. So at this moment, you can see this is little large. So if we press somewhere else, you can see this is what we have got. But if you want these strokes to be little not that thick, you need to change the size of the brush. So let me show you how. Let me undo it. And then we'll select the brush tool by pressing B. And you can see at this moment, the brush size is something like this. So if you press the left bracket, we are going to make it small. Then again, we have to select the Pen tool, right click again, make sure you select the layer first. Empty layer where we want to apply this, right click and then select the stroke path and press again, same setting, and we'll press Okay. And you can see this time we have got this smaller result. So over here, you can see smaller strokes, so this is applied. Okay? So that was the normal way, and now we have got it applied everywhere. Okay. So you can see either you can go for this method or you can go for this method where we have applied the inner glow. So you can see whichever you prefer, whichever result you like, you can go for that. And let me show you one more way of doing this. So for this purpose, we are going to click on the subject make the selection, and now we are going to press the button or to select the Lasso tool, which is here over here. You can simply come over here and select it or you can simply press the L. And now we are going to remove the selection for certain part. So we'll press Alt or option, and then we are going to remove this. We are going to press the Alt or option, and then we are going to remove this selection from this side. All right, so this side is removed, and then we'll press Alt or option, and let's remove it from this side as well. And from here as well, we have got this kind of result, and now we are going to again, make it or convert this to the path. So we'll come over here and click on this. So that we will have a new path. You can see. Now let's make a new layer and make sure you select the Pen tool by pressing P on your keyboard. Right click, and again, stroke path and same setting and press Okay. And now we have got this kind of so in this case, we need to remove it from this size or this side as well. So because we don't want it over here, so we'll create a mask by clicking on this icon and choose the brush tool, and this time, make sure the foreground color should be the black so that way we can remove it. So increase the size and remove it from this part. Okay. And if you have accidentally removed the part, which you don't want, so you can just paint it back as well. Okay. So this is the next way, third way. So I think you can go for any of the method you like, but I prefer the inner glow, which is a little bit faster and sometimes faster and effective as well. So you can see we get the natural look right over here. 38. 4 Adding Graphs behind Subject in Photoshop: All right, so now we are going to add a graph behind the subject. So for this purpose, first of all, we are going to turn off the subject, and now we are going to create a new plank layer over here. So we'll click on this new icon to clear a blank, a new layer, and then we are going to choose the Pen tool from here or you can simply press the P on your keyboard. And from the top, make sure you select the shape and from the fill, make sure it is fill as color. And we are going to take this color, make sure the stroke is selected as none. And now we are going to create a graph. So it has to be anything like ops random. So we have to create something like this. Okay. And then we have to close this path in the last and so now there is a problem with this one because it has to be on this side. So for this purpose, we are going to select this path selection tool by pressing A or direct selection tool. So we can select any of these. So we'll just double click on this. So we'll take the direct selection tool in this case and just double click it or select it, and then we are going to bring it outside the frame. So we can just now modify this path in any way we like. So we can create something like this, so there is no any hard and fast routes. It can be the random one. Alright, so shape has been created 39. 5 Adding Stroke and Glow to the Graph in Photoshop: We're going to add the stroke to this one or glow to this one. Alright, so we'll go to the effec control panel. So we'll double click on this empty space to open the effects panel and from here. First of all, we are going to add a stroke. So the moment we select the stroke, last setting which you have used, that would automatically apply. So here we don't want that much of stroke, so we are going to lower down its size from here to something like this, and then we are going to change this color to this blue, and we are going to change it so that it stands out from the rest one, something like this, and press okay. Then we are going to select the gradient overlay and from here, make sure you select this one and then change these colors to first we're going to select the first point, and we are going to select this color and we'll select the second point and over here, make sure you select select and drop it away. And that way, that would be gone. And then we are going to select the top one that is for the opacity, and we are going to make this zero. A right Opacity has to be zero. And if we press Okay, then we are going to change this. So let's say, something like this. If we turn this off. Okay, I think we have to remove the fill. So we'll go to the top one blending options and make sure the fill opacity is zero. And now, if we check the gradient overlay this way, we are going to get the desired results. And you can now we are getting the glowing effect or this gradient effect overhead. And let's increase the scale from the gradient overlay to something like this. So if you click on this, so now we can just play with the settings. All right. So this one is just fine and we'll press. Okay. So now we have got something like this, and if we turn off our subject, now we see this graph in the background, but we need to adjust it so that it can be visible something right over here. So let's turn off the subject and press the move tool or select the move tool and let's make it something like this and bring it back. So it looks something like 40. 6 Adding Graphics Overlays to the Background in Photoshop: Now we are going to add some more graphics over here. You will find this in the YouTube thumbnail pack, and this is the graphic and its name is 186 effects flare lightning et cetera, and we are going to bring this under the subject, so we'll bring it over here. That way, it's going to look something like this, which is just amazing. And now we are going to add a globe behind the subject. So for this purpose, we're going to select the layer just under the subject, and then we'll click over here on this black and white circle and select the solid color. And from here, we are going to select to this something sky blue over here. Press Okay, and then we're going to change the band Moto screen so that it becomes so lighter. And right now it's everywhere. We don't want that. So we'll select the mask and press Control I or Command I. So if you press the Control I or Command I, that's going to invert it. And now we are going to choose the Brush tool. So we'll press B on our keyboard, we'll right click select the brush tool, and then we are going to right click and select the soft round brush, which is by default one, which has the zero hardness and make sure the opacity is around 50% and make sure the color is foreground color is white. If it is not, press D for the default color and then press X to flip from foreground to background. So foreground should be white color. So that way, whatever we are going to paint, that would be visible. So we are going to make the brush size large by pressing the right bracket key. And then we'll just tap it once or twice or maybe if there is need, a little bit more, something like this. Okay. And now we are going to create a duplicate copy of it. So we'll select this one and press Control J command G, and we'll bring it on the top. And here we don't anything. So we'll select this mask and press control back space that would fill it with the black color, and again, will be left with nothing. And now with the brush tool, again, we are going to make it small, and then we are going to paint something on the edges of the corner on the face. So that would add little bit glow. That would look great. So you can see this is before, and this is after we have added this flare 41. 7 Adding Logo in Photoshop: Now it's time to bring in our logo.

And the font which I'm using over here is the card bold and 150 point is the size. So we can change it accordingly later on if we need Okay. So this is the text. Now, we are going to create a text placeholder under it, or you can say rectangle. So we'll press Control T or Command T. So for that purpose, we are going to come over here and select the rectangle tool, and then we are going to draw our rectangle shape around here, and then we'll go to the fill and make sure you select the gradient, and then we can just take any of these one like this one. So we are going to customize we'll bring this color inside over here on this and then we'll click here once again and then double crack it. And then it would allow us to choose the color. So we'll pick the same yellow color for this purpose as well. Okay. And but now you can see the angle is something like this. We need to change that. So for that purpose, we can just make it something like this, and that will have something like this. So we have the yellow on the left and right, and in the center, we get this orange or red color. Okay. So this is the rectangle, and we are going to bring this under the title. And let's say it's over here. And now we are going to select the title, and then we are going to just make it italic. So we'll control press Control Tkamante and then right click or if we can just find the italic font in this, so it's bold and I don't think that it has the italic. So we can just make it italic by pressing Control D command and then we'll right click and select the skew and then we can make it something like this and press Enter or check Mar. And since this white color is not that visible on the rectangles, so we'll change its font color from here or you can use it. You can change it from here as well. So we'll select and make it black.

So we are going to make it smaller in size, something like this, and we'll place it over here. Or let's make it not italic, because we have already made the italic on the top one. So let's go for the regular. Okay. So this one looks something like this, and now we are going to make it a little large, so we'll press Control T comande and while holding shift, we are going to drag it down. So this would make it longer and press Enter. So this is how it looks, and now we are going to change its color to, let's say, white. Okay. And since this white color is not visible, let's first adjust its properties. So from here, it's -20, let's bring it even further down. Let's -40. Oh, yes. I think -60 is good. And now, since it is not visible, being the white color and even the background is also white or shirt is also we'll add the drop shadow, double click on the empty space, and from here, we'll check the drop shadow and we'll increase the multiply to something like 100 and then yes, distance to 16 pixels spread four size 37. This one looks good, and now add one more drop shadow, you can add by clicking on this plus icon, and that would add another drop shadow, and this time, you can just make it less opaque so we can bring down the opacity and we can change its distance. We can simply move tool from here and we can simply just place it anywhere we like. So maybe over here, and then we are going to press. Okay. So you can see it was before the drop shadow, and this is after the drop shadow. Now, this one looks amazing and more clearly visible. 43. 9 Adding Flares to the Title in Photoshop: Now the final thing which we need to do to this thumbnail before it's ready, that is adding these flares. So there is a flare number 24 and flare number 25. So let's turn of both of these and turn on the player number 25. So this is the 25, and you can see right now it's visible over here. It has the black background. In order to remove that, we need to change its bland mouth two screen. We can just make it something place it something like over here. Now turn on the second n again, to remove its black background, we are going to change its Bland mouth two screen. And now we're going to place it, let's say, over. 44. 10 Adding Vignette Effect & Final Result in Photoshop: But this is not clearly visible. Reason being that we have the white background, so we are going to fix this, and for that purpose, we are going to go over here before the title. So let's select this rectangle and select all of these by pressing Shift and press Control G. And then we are going to rename it as title so that we can identify it easily. So this is the title. Okay. And we are going to select the layer beneath the title, and then we'll click over here on the blank layer, so that would create a blank layer. And now we'll select the gradient tool, so we'll press G. But before selecting the gradient tool, make sure this color is default and black. So we'll press D on a keyboard that would make it default, and now select the gradient tool, and from here, make sure you select the basic and this one, which is black to transparent. This is the pre installed gradient you will find and and from here, we are going to select the ideal gradient, and then we are going to click on the center and just drag it to draw on something like this. At this moment, you can see it's making the center black, but we want it to be black from the outside. We'll check the reverse option. So that's going to make it darker from outside. Now we'll just drag and make it something like this and we can br it on the top because on the bottom, we want it to be more black. So something like this, let's make it. And that's fine. And if you feel that it has covered the subject or anything else, then we can just select the mask, this mask and choose the brush tool. And with the black color, we can just paint over the area where we don't want this black color to be affected. Okay. And now we can just move this flare to proper position. So we'll press the move tool, press the V to select the move tool, and right click and select the flare at 24, and then we can just place it anywhere. Something like. Yes that's looking good. Finally, we are going to add one more to this one, and that is the glow number one. So we are going to change this plan more to screen, and then we'll bring it something like over here. Now this one looks more amazing and more clearly visible. So we're going to save it, and now you can see this is our final result. So this is our final result. I hope you like the result.
