Removing backgrounds used to be the part that took me forever, and now I can isolate a subject cleanly in Canva in a couple of minutes. The trick of refining the cutout edges so hair doesn't look chopped was the detail I'd been missing all along. I also picked up a smart way to save my cut-out subjects as reusable assets, which keeps my whole thumbnail style consistent. A bit more on tricky low-contrast images would've been nice, but my thumbnails look far more professional now. Genuinely time well spent for anyone making their own assets.
