How To Edit Thumbnails

A full job start to finish — research, generation, compositing and export. Follow along on your own file rather than just watching.

Tools to have

All five, installed and licensed, before your first assignment.

ChatGPT Research the city, draft angles, sanity-check the brief.
Claude Second opinion on packaging, copy and prompt writing.
Photoshop Paid subscription only. Cracked installs are not accepted.
Magnific AI Primary generator and upscaler. This is where 4K comes from.
Krea Second generator for variations and relight passes.

The standard

Every file you send is checked against these three.

Standard SOPs
  1. Locations must be geographically accurate. Real landmarks, real skyline, real street layout. If someone who lives there wouldn't recognise it, it's wrong.
  2. The client's face must not be AI. Use the supplied photo, relight it properly, keep it high quality — and never mirror the image.
  3. 4K quality, no AI errors when zoomed in. Zoom to 100% and inspect. Melted text, bent windows, warped hands, mushy edges — all rejected.
Failure to follow these = 1 warning, then termination or payment deductions.
