oh i have Thoughts ab the cassian fav taylor song question here's my list of contenders:

closure high infidelity run i know places

(also as an honorable mention i think jyn's hAs to be vigilante shit)

oh my god spicyyyyy pick with high infidelity lmfao (the constellations in jyn's eyes, how she brought him back to life)

closure is such a great song it makes me happy knowing cassian loves it bc it's great and rare and angry and he's right for it

run is INSANELY GOOD FOR HIM bc okay all the obvious imagery but SO YOU LAUGH LIKE A CHILD (jyn smiled like a child)

I know places is literally the gifset I'm working on rn 🤣🤣🤣🤣 10000%

jyn would love vigilante shit (id love to see her fuck some imperial asshole's ex-wife and give her the keys to the guy's space benz) but idk if it's her fave, imo its cowboy like me

OMG HAPPY BDAY

THANK U!!!! <3

How to watch Good Omens Season 2 (legally) for free to help it get renewed

You might feel like you don’t want to give any money to the big studios, especially with the strikes going on, but Neil Gaiman himself thinks that the more successful Season 2 is, the more pressure there will be on Amazon to meet the writers and actors’ demands, and renew the show for a third season. So, we the fans really should watch the show legally, preferably during the first week, and then over and over and over again. The good news is, we can do that for free!

You can go to the Amazon Prime page around the 28th of July and get a free trial for a week or a month, depending your region. You will have to give your card number, but they won’t start charging you until the trial period is over, and you can set a reminder on your phone to cancel it before it ends. Afterwards, you should watch Season 2 (or have it play on the background) as often as possible for a few days at least.

According to Neil, “free trials are to be encouraged”, so go have fun!

hello! I would like to learn gif making, specifically pale gifs. do you happen to know any resources i can use to learn? also, is it possible to make gifs on photopea, since its features are very similar to photoshop? thank you!

hello, of course! there are a lot of tutorials on basic gifmaking and i also get back to them sometimes (everyone has different preferences and techniques so you'll always find something new or easier), these i think are the best and most comprehensive ones, with links to programs and other resources

highly recommend this anti-whitewashing tutorial for pale and pastel gifs by fadenet

some blogs for various resources: @usergif @completeresources @dailyresources @chaoticresources

here's my tag for questions about my settings and colorings (bw gifs and my most used pale psds)

i've never used photopea for gifs but here are a few tutorials, you can just try and see what works best for you!

hi! it's theo aka user worldoutlaw and for 500 followers i wanted to share my coloring/sharpening process ! i've been getting a few notes recently complimenting my coloring and sharpening lately (ty all so much they make me smile every time) and i thought some people might be curious in my process so here we are ! :3 this is just coloring and sharpening so if you're looking for a general gif tutorial i suggest you check out usergif! now without futher ado let's start (color coded for my fellow adhders/neurodivergents who find reading hard)

i do most of my process through actions; of which i have several for different gif dimensions ie 540 width (typically for fancams where i keep the width of the file the same but change the height), 540 height (which i use the most for gifs like the above), and 850 height which i use for my sets that have side by side gifs like my pinned

actions make the beginning of making a gif a lot faster and especially save time when you're rushing to make comeback gifs lmao

after i've converted to the video timeline and selected all of my frames and converted them to a smart object, i apply userdramas's camera raw filter action which can help gifs look higher quality and create the illusion of skin texture when there isn't any

after this i convert the layer into a smart object again and apply my sharpening as follows (partly from anyataylorjoy's action pack)

smart sharpen 1:

smart sharpen 2:

smart sharpen 3: (this one is optional)

smart sharpen 2 duplicated

gaussian blur:

and i click this button on the far right to change the opacity of the blur (usually i set it around 10-30)

it may look funky but noise at the end will always fix it :p

after i sharpen i start on coloring!

my coloring process starts with editing values with curves, brightness & contrast, and sometimes levels

this helps to achieve the high contrast look i really like on my gifs and below are my settings for this specific set

i find that the marker in the center of the curves graph can often help darken skin tones if the subject appears too light

after i have my values down i move on to the actual colors

i start with adding a selective color layer; adjusting the red values, followed by yellow, then black, white, and any other colors i would want prominent in the gif

for example, with this set i wanted the blues to look really nice so i increased the cyans and decreased the yellows to my liking

changing the black values adds to the dimension i like in my gifs; these are my settings

forgot magenta whoops

next i add a hue/sat layer where i mess with the red and yellow values which often adds extra help to skin tones (i also recently started using hue/sat on colors like the blues here)

now these gifs didn't need it thankfully, but if needed i will also do color balance and channel mixer layers

after all my coloring and sharpening is done and i'm satisfied with how a gif looks i will convert all layers to a smart object and add noise (typically 1.5-3)

then the gif is done and i save it! these are my save settings

and that's how i turn this

into this!

hope y'all enjoyed and found this helpful and thank you again for 500<3333

Hey, could you please create a tutorial on how to combine many gifs in one document? Thank you!!!

Hi! Do you meant layouts and putting multiple gifs on one gif?

While I would love to make a tutorial, I want to credit some of the tutorials I have used myself that can explain it way better than I can!
