This article is focusing on YouTube thumbnails. You can start creating a new YouTube thumbnail by scrolling through the creative options or by searching for YouTube Thumbnails in the search box.

It is important to note that while it is amazing that Adobe is giving a big selection of options for FREE, they do have a PAID version for $9.99 USD a month or $99.99 USD a year, that has even more options for creativity.
