How to do the Splitting between 3 images for thumbnail in photoshop -

Creating a split thumbnail with 3 images in Photoshop is a great way to make your content visually appealing and organized. Here’s a step-by-step guide to split your thumbnail evenly between 3 images:

✅ Step-by-Step: 3-Image Split Thumbnail in Photoshop

1. Create a New Document

File → New
Set dimensions:
- 1920 x 1080 px (for YouTube thumbnails)
- Resolution: 72 ppi (screen)
- Background: White or Transparent

2. Divide the Canvas into 3 Equal Sections

Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M).
Use Guides or create boxes manually:

Option A: Use Guides

Go to: View → New Guide
- Set Vertical Guides at:
  - 640 px (1/3)
  - 1280 px (2/3)
Now you have 3 equal sections to work with.

Option B: Use the Shape Tool

Draw three 640×1080 px rectangles side by side.

3. Import Your 3 Images

Drag and drop each image into Photoshop or use:
- File → Place Embedded…
Resize and position each image into one of the 3 sections:
- Use Ctrl+T (Cmd+T on Mac) to resize.
- Clip images to sections if using shapes (Right-click layer → Create Clipping Mask).

4. Crop or Mask the Images

Add a Layer Mask to each image:
- Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to select the section.
- Click the Mask icon in the Layers panel to hide the rest.

5. Add Borders (Optional)

Create thin lines between sections using the Line Tool or the Rectangle Tool.
- Color: white or black (depending on contrast)
- Thickness: 5–10 px for visibility

6. Add Text or Overlay (Optional)

Use the Text Tool (T) to add a title.
Add a semi-transparent gradient or overlay for better text readability.

✅ Tips:

Add subtle drop shadows to each image for separation.
Use Smart Objects so you can replace the images later.
Save it as PSD for editing and JPG/PNG for uploading.
