hi there! I'm sorry for being a bother but I was wondering if you could help me. I've been making gifs and when I'm on the photoshop program, they look fine but when I post them on tumblr, the text on the gif gets a bit blurry/faded and I was wondering whether do you know why it happens. Could it be that I only resize my gif after editing it or could it be that I sharpen my gif after I add text & filters? Thank you!*

hey! you’re not bothering me at all; i don’t think it’s due to resizing your gif or sharpening it after adding text, but it could be your text antialiasing settings? 

there’s a huge difference text when it’s set to none vs. strong:

hello, sorry if you've answered this before but I can't find it in your replies ;-; how do you sharpen your gifs? any tips or tricks?

I think I ambiguously have answered asks about it here and here. I couldn’t share exactly how I do mine because, 1) our gifs would look the same and 2) I suck at explaining so… 

But here’s a more detailed sharpening tutorial! This has helped me a lot when I was experimenting on mine.

Hi! I just wanted to ask how crop/resize videos without losing the quality? I find that that always happens to me when I make gifs :( Thank you in advance!

You have to tell me how you make your gifs first. Like, do you cut the clip? Or screencap? Do you import video into frames or do you stack images into layers? Cause I have to know if we’re in the same wavelength/we’re thinking about the same thing.

BUT

If we’re talking about cropping it in photoshop, what I usually do is, I crop it first and then resize it. Some people resize it as they crop and I think that’s fine too.

Sweetheart, stay calm. Do you have any proof that they know where you live or legal name? Did they tell you through a hate ask?

they called me by my legal name in an ask and described my house accurately in another.

hi! just wondering, what font did you use for "gone" in your latest graphic? btw it's really pretty i love it!!

thank you! :) it's my handwriting

[taeguk]

Hi there, I really want to make gifs and I was wondering what your settings for your text are and what font you use. I’ve been trying out making gifs with Arial but it doesn’t come out right and comes out really boxy. Thank you

i use the font myriad pro in bold italic with anti aliasing set to strong:

Your coloring is really pretty how are you doing it :// i struggle with it a lot

Aaahhh thank you, love! I’ve been too lazy with my colorings lately, but I’m glad you still find them pretty!

But yeah, I’m no different though. I’ve struggled a lot with them too (I still do!) especially when I first started. But since I have been doing gifsfor awhile now (aka wasting my golden years sitting in front of a laptop to make moving pictures of korean boys and girls who are too gorgeous for their own good), I guess I have a “sequence” I follow, which I have talked about here.

THOUGH if you want a more elaborate explanation on coloring, you can check out photoshop blogs here on tumblr (i.e. itsphotoshop, yeahps, etc.) or you can read this long-winded explanation I made here ;)

how do you color your gifs? :)

I usually add and play with these adjustments to my liking:

curves, to brighten the whole gif

selective color, to emphasize and change the tones of a certain color

I usually just adjust these: reds, yellows, blacks

brightness & contrast (the contrast, mostly), to intensify and add more color

color balance, to change the tone of the whole gif

vibrance, to amplify the colors

hue & saturation (not always though), if color balance isn’t enough

As I’ve said from before, it’s always always different with every video. I never use base psds cause I’d probably spend more time adjusting each layer than I would’ve when I make it myself. It takes time and practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy as pie.

Also, you should know how you want it to look like. Like for me, I usually like vibrant colorings so I always use these adjustments. I hope this helps though!

Hey, how are you able to post gifs up without getting the error message. I have changed my gif so many times and it still won't upload. I know it has to be under 1MB. How do I know if its under 1MB? Sorry, if I'm bothering you.

Hello! You are not bothering at all :) Oooh ok so to know if it's under 1MB, it's quiet simple :) So when you "Save for Web & Devices", box thingy appears (I think pictures might help lol) 

^^ so this is what appears. And on the bottom left corner (the little circle thing I have made) that's where it tells you the size of the GIF.  ^^since it's 976.7K, this will upload on tumblr :D

Now if it's something like this:

Since this is 1.055M, it won't upload on tumblr 

I hope this helps! :)
