**Title:** Creating a Decent YouTube Thumbnail using Photoshop
**Summary:**
* Intro by PewDiePie, who shares his background in using Photoshop for creating anime icons and avatars.
* Tutorial begins:
1. Setting up a new project with the correct aspect ratio (1920x1080) for a YouTube thumbnail.
2. Importing a high-quality image (of Jacksepticeye) and resizing while maintaining the aspect ratio.
3. Using the Pen Tool to crop the image, and then deleting the background using a mask.
4. Adding a psychedelic background and merging layers.
5. Creating bold, easy-to-read text using a font from Dafont (Bebas).
6. Adding effects (Outer Glow and Drop Shadow) to the text and image.
* Conclusion:
+ Finalizing the thumbnail with minor adjustments.
+ Encouragement to self-learn Photoshop through tutorials, with a mention of a 30-day free trial (and a tongue-in-cheek remark about the cost).
Here are the extracted key facts in short sentences, without opinions, numbered for reference:
1. The video tutorial covers creating a decent-looking YouTube thumbnail using Photoshop.
2. The recommended aspect ratio for a YouTube thumbnail is Width: 1920 - Height: 1080.
3. A resolution of 300 is suggested if the thumbnail is to be printed (though unlikely for thumbnails).
4. The tutorial uses a picture of Jacksepticeye as the subject.
5. To maintain the aspect ratio while resizing, hold down the SHIFT key.
6. The pen tool is recommended for cropping images for more precision.
7. To delete a selection, the selection must be inverted (Ctrl + Shift + I) before hitting delete.
8. Alternatively, using the mask button (without inverting the selection) can achieve the same result.
9. The tutorial suggests using Dafont for free, bold, and easy-to-read fonts.
10. The shortcut to move a text or object in Photoshop is V.
11. To adjust the size of a text or object, use Ctrl + T.
12. To merge layers, select them, right-click, and choose "Merge Layers".
13. The shortcut to create a copy of a selection in a new layer is Ctrl + J.
14. To add a drop shadow or outer glow, select the layer and click on the "FX" button.
15. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E merges all layers and creates a new layer with the merged content.
16. Zoom in and out with Ctrl + and Ctrl - respectively.
17. The tutorial mentions a 30-day free trial for Photoshop.
