RE: How to Make a Thumbnail That Doesn't Suck - Adding Text

in #dtube6 years ago

Nice hack with gimp! I think in photoshop you have an option to make a drop shadow which is what I sometimes use.. but I’m lazy and don’t want to open it up cos it’s a slow program haha..
Sometimes I also use iMovie titles - they have a black outline option but not all programs have that - I tend to use my mobile app to make them and it’s not as good

Thank you @vincy. Gimp is very fast and doesn't use a lot of computer resources. It's actually incredible. I will be showing more things you can do with Gimp. Sure, you may already be able to write text like this with other programs but in future tutorials, I'll show you how to do more stuff. Once you learn all the basics, you'll be able to do more than just thumbnails with this program and you can get really creative editing your future photos. I think it is a very handy skill set to have.
