you have to utilize ai well when it comes to making thumbnails being lazy with your process is not going to give you good results if you're looking for prompts and tricks to generate better images there's plenty of posts on my profile about it

Lighting plays a huge role in terms of design, especially thumbnails you can completely change the mood of the scene by its lighting the top is the raw image and the bottom is the edited one

if you want your thumbnails to perform well and also look aesthetic always look out for contrast, whether the elements colors stand out from one another doesn't have to be complex, don't have to use color wheel just trust your eye

Branding is nothing but just reusing the same elements and design pieces as simple as that

I built a Photoshop-like image editor. It鈥檚 called Compositor. robbietilton.com/compositor I originally built it for myself to get off my Adobe subscription, but decided to release it for free and make it open source. It has all the essential tools I need for compositing, with none of the BS. I know this workflow is kind of archaic in 2026, but I鈥檓 still using it until AI can actually get pixel-perfect on some of the details. The entire app is 12MB. Photoshop is 6,455MB on my machine.

3. How to Avoid OVER detail issue the reason why Ai images look kind of fake is because there's too much detail on them, real images and art has imperfections The repeated pixels, the crazy details make it look "fake" Another way of fixing it is using prompts like "Declutter the image" "Decrease repeated pixels" help but I've found the best solution is to just make it from scratch in a new chat

4. Use the RIGHT keywords It can't read your brain, so research your keywords, look into pinterest use specific keywords instead of long sentences
