Materinya benar-benar to the point soal bikin thumbnail cepat. Saya suka bagian gabungan Photoshop sama tool AI buat hapus background, jadi sekarang satu thumbnail bisa kelar dalam hitungan menit tanpa ribet.

Endlich ein Workflow, der Photoshop und die KI-Tools sinnvoll verbindet, statt nur eins von beiden zu zeigen.

Je passais un temps fou sur mes miniatures avant de suivre ce cours. La partie qui combine les calques Photoshop avec les outils de génération par IA pour détourer un sujet rapidement m'a vraiment fait gagner en efficacité. Les détourages au pinceau et les arrière-plans générés s'enchaînent maintenant en quelques minutes. J'aurais aimé un peu plus d'exemples sur le texte stylisé, mais sinon le workflow proposé est clair et directement applicable. Je le conseille à tout créateur pressé.
