My Amazon Influencer storefront: https://www.amazon.co.uk/shop/influencer-99d84c06 Listings of equipment, tools and ingredients used in the Lazy Cook kitchen and in the making of my videos. In this video I demonstrate how I use GIMP to create a standardised look for my video thumbnail images on YouTube.
GIMP is a cross-platform image editor available for GNU/Linux, OS X, Windows and more operating systems. It is free software, you can change its source code and distribute your changes.
Whether you are a graphic designer, photographer, illustrator, or scientist, GIMP provides you with sophisticated tools to get your job done. You can further enhance your productivity with GIMP thanks to many customisation options and 3rd party plugins.
