The 3-Minute Thumbnail Cutout That Actually Looks Professional (Thanks, Aaron Nace)
Thumbnails are one of those things I kept treating as an afterthought, right up until a client pointed out that my gorgeous composite was getting zero clicks because the preview image looked like a potato. Lesson learned. Since then I’ve been obsessive about figuring out the fastest, cleanest way to cut a subject out and make them pop against a background, which is exactly the problem this technique solves. In this Aaron Nace (PHLEARN) tutorial, he walks through a workflow that takes maybe three minutes once you’ve done it twice, and the results look polished enough that people assume you spent much longer on it.
