COLOR TABLE TUTORIAL
No one asked for this, but Iâm in a tutorial mood so here we go! :)
You know when you make a gifset and want the colors to be the same? So you use the same PSD on all of them, but theyâre still different? This oneâs for you.
1.) Open your reference image (can be the other gif youâre trying to match, a psd, png, etc., doesnât matter)
2.) Click Save for Web like you would when you go to save a gif, but DONâT save the gif
3.) Click the dropdown arrow on the top right corner of the color table
4.) Click save color table
5.) Name the file and click save
Now choose a gif scene that has somewhat similar colors (warm or cool toned basically) This one is pinkish so itâll look good with the color table
You can edit the gif to be as close color wise to the example, such as adding a certain PSD or adding selective layers to the gif to get warmer or cooler tones. The point of loading a color table is to get the EXACT same color hues in each gif. In this example gif shown above, the colors are already along the same lines so I donât even need to add any adjustment layers. 6.) Once youâre ready, go to Export for Web and click color table dropdown again, but this time click Load Color TableÂ
7.) Select your saved file and click Open.
8.) Then save the gif and itâs ready
This is really helpful when youâre trying to get all gifs in a color set to be the same colors. Hope at least one person gets some use out of it.
