Design YouTube Thumbnails In Affinity Photo
You don’t need a Photoshop subscription to make glowing thumbnail designs that entice users to click on your videos. In this tutorial I’ll be showing you how to do so in Affinity Photo.
The key to nailing this look is knowing which Adjustment Layers and Quick FX to use, and in this lesson I go over quite a few of them. If this tutorial does nothing else, it’ll at least highlight just how convenient and efficient Affinity Photo is.

Just picked up the Lettermark Bundle. Can't wait to dive into all of these included fonts. $14 is an insane deal.
Where can I find the Filter tab? I'm on Windows and I only have "File, Edit, Layer, Select, View, Window,' and 'Help."
Perfect tutorial I was looking for a tutorial on creating thumbnails in this style and couldn't find one for Affinity Photo. Thank you very much Nick!!! If possible, do more tutorials on Affinity Photo Like and subscribe !!!!
If i want to make better KZread thumbnails should I purchase designer or illustrator?

Hi, enjoyed the tutorial! Ques: Do you know why when I add an adjustment layer it goes below and not above the image?

Not sure why that would happen, it could be something in the app settings

Designer has many of these features but a few of them are only in Photo. For example, the clarity filter, perspective distortion and motion blur.
