hello besties and beloveds ♡ i am KICKING US OFF! here are my top ten title tracks (bg / male soloists) of the first half of the year. it’s been really fun for me on the music front in 2022, and i will probably make a b-sides version bc so many of my favorites have been b-sides. :’) but these are the title tracks that have lived rent free in my head so far this year!
honorable mentions: who - moonbin & sanha, 1 of 9 - younite, marvelous - mirae, jikjin - treasure, bad news - tempest, adrenaline - cravity, eye on you - wonho

hi everyone !! i am late to this party asldjf;alsk thank you to @dreamaze @dongkwan (WELCOME BACK FROM THE SHADOWBAN MARE!) @inhypen @wabisaba and @soppa for tagging me! i always like to see how my coloring continues to evolve!
i waited so long to do this that i feel like most of the mutuals have done theirs already! please consider yourself tagged if you’d like to do this (and @kwonsoon special tag for you bc i know you’re fresh in your cc era!!) and please tag me so i can see your coloring !! <3
so although i have never once in my life reused a psd across different videos (i find it a LOT easier to color from scratch), i do compulsively save psds for every set i make just on the off chance i might need them again. (i won’t.)
i am the world’s biggest camera raw filter advocate as some of you know, and i also make plenty of use of curves / levels / exposure / selective colour adjustment layers! my natural style is usually to bring my black point to a pretty dark black and eliminate any green overtones. as far as white balance goes, i like to stay as close as natural as i can. i usually tend more towards blues and teals than emphasizing purple and i actively try to neutralize magentas! (sometimes for changkyun i will lean into purple bc i love him.) i also add a grain texture of varying degrees to all of my gifs. everything i do is 100% in ps, i don’t use vs or topaz or anything!
content creator tag game: coloring before & after! (afters, although i hope you can tell, are the top/right portions of the gifs).
thank you for the tag, @heseung! 💛
i rely heavily on the camera raw filter + selective color adjustment layers + gradient maps. and despite almost NEVER reusing psds because i more or less color every video from scratch, i still obsessively save them like a file-hoarding magpie. uh in terms of style! i think i’m still trying to land on it, but i tend to lift my whites and most of the time i have a little s-curve going on to deepen my blacks as well, unless i’m going for a softer overall effect! i also try to stay away from magentas/purples and actively will eliminate them when i can.
tagging @rebekahflies @myburninghands @dreamaze @20cm @beomkai @97choi @napofastars @inhypen @heeseunq @sim-jaeyun @jaehyukkies @cobiu @2kid + anyone who hasn’t done this yet and wants to! also besties i am sorry if you’ve already done this and i haven’t seen, in which case <3 tag me in comments or something so i can yell over your coloring! and as always no pressure ofc, only if you want to
