Pro Thumbnail Design with Free Software GIMP

I really appreciate this tutorial, I come back to it regularly!

Hi Nick. First I wanted to thank you for this tutorial. It helped me a lot in making thumbnails on my channel and if you look at it you will notice that the thumbnails in my recent videos are very similar to the thumbnail you made in this video.

If u r teaching ,teach slow,may u got the skills but u can't teach

The gaussian blur is reworked, and I can't get it to work, is there any workaround?

so helpful thanks bromanelli

5 years later and this video still helps me out every time, thank you for creating such a helpful step by step video. I've used it tons of times!

Using this video every time im making new thmubnails! You earned yourself a new sub!

You are a lifesaver.

Amazing stuff, everything I need to get going!

Why is he moving some layers to the top and layering some beneath others? what is the purpose for doing that

This is incredibly overwhelming. The speed you guys do this is rough.

Thank you sir for this video. It helped me a lot. I tried to copy the method you showed me and I got the result I was looking for. Although my work was a little bit off.

As always this amazing tutorial. You explain everything beautifully. I was wondering if we could create this in inkscape, if so, please make a tutorial on it.

Thank you very much for you tutorial, it really help me a lot and I finally made my first thumbnail. Good job.

Thank you for tutorial. It's very helpful.

Shame that with the new Gimp updates the path + selection parts no longer work

nothing fucking works on my gimp

Just created a new thumbnail using these tips for my latest video! Thank you!!

This video is great!!!!!! Thank you so much! It helps so much :D

Comment for algorithm. Great lesson and much appreciated, mate!

Clicking too quick. Could barely tell what you were clicking on. Probably not a video fr begginners

Just downloaded Gimp and your tutorial is the first one i've watched. Great video, picked up some of the basics of Gimp and in a position to use it to make some thumbnails! Thanks.

Pls help. After pasting a new image, how do you scale that image separately from another image without scaling them both together? I feel like I've been trying this for hours and I have no idea how to separate the two when scaling. >.<

Thanx a lot! Very Usefull!
