Thanks for this, the step with the contrasts is something I didn't do until now, will definetly try it!
Another question: Which canvas size do you use for the thumbnails? (in pixels)

Hi! I explain it in the video, but the idea is to keep some distance between you and the thumbnail, so keep it small, so you can see the overall composition in one glance! like no more than 300px tall
