Before/After cover: Increase CTR through editing

A real example of "Before/After" from Upwork: I took a regular photo, removed the excess, enhanced the emotions, added dynamics, text, and effects - resulting in a bright, clickable YouTube thumbnail that attracts attention in recommendations.
What was done:
- Retouching of face and background
- Addition/removal of elements
- Color correction + contrast
- Large emotional text
- Effects for CTR (arrows, highlights)
Photoshop at a high level, I make edits quickly. Experience of 4+ years. Ready for urgent tasks and new styles. #YouTubeThumbnail #BeforeAfter #photoediting #YouTubeCover #Photoshop #thumbnail #coverDesign #CTR
