Uncover Ali Abdaal's Secrets to Professional Thumbnails! - Photoshop & Canva

Learn how to make 2 different CZcams thumbnails just like @aliabdaal in both photoshop and canva (the free version).
I'll start by breaking down the secret techniques he uses to create professional looking thumbnails that get hundreds of thousands of views, before actually showing you how I create 2 thumbnails just like him.
That includes: setting up a cool backdrop, taking professional looking photos and then all the little tricks you can do in photoshop to bring the thumbnail to life.
I then wanted to see if you could create the same quality thumbnails in canva?! And I was pleasantly surprised!
Enjoy the video!

Great video
I think your background is little bit sharper on the other hand Ali BG is little bit blurred for the 1st thumbnail

[@varunpenumudi]

Hey thats a really great video, but at 10:10 in canva if you want to change color of that icon/image an alternative way would be using duotone filter in effects section(it works really well for me)

[@Validation]

Thanks! Awesome, I'll have to give that a try next time I try out canva :)
