SHARPENING TUTORIAL — requested by anon

Edit: Here is the action, after anon requested it. First and foremost, I apologize ahead of time because this is not going to be an action. At the end of the tutorial, I'm going to include a link to a PSD with the smart filters plugged in. So you don't have to go through the trouble of loading an action and then playing it. Before we get started, this will only be compatible with photoshop. Also, you must have a basic knowledge of giffing and photoshop and how to convert all your layers for smart filters. If you cannot do that, this tutorial might not be for you.

Go to Filter > Smart Sharpen. Amount should be set to 500%, then your radius amount must be set to 0.4px. Make sure you remove the Gaussian Blur, and don't touch any of the other settings.

Go to Filter > Smart Sharpen. Amount should be set to 20% - 40% (play around with it, see what looks good). Radius should be set to 20px (again, play around with it, see what looks good).

Go to Filter > Camera Raw Filter. Find the Effects tab. Texture should be anywhere from +25 to +45 (sometimes, depending on the movie, I have it in the high 60s or 80s). Then set Clarity anywhere from 10 to 25 (again, it all depends on the movie, play around with the sliders). Find the Detail Tab next. Set the Sharpening anywhere from 5 - 15. Set Noise Reduction anywhere from 10 - 20.

Go to Filter > Other > High Pass. The radius should be .4px, then go to the blending options and set it to soft light, or screen. I usually set mine to soft light.

The last step is the blurring. It subtracts a little bit of the grain that the denoise didn't cancel out. Set the radius to 1px, and then go to blending options and set it anywhere from 10% to 25%. Click here to download the psd with the coloring included. It will load as one screencap and the smart filters will be there. You're going to window the psd and then drag the smart filter settings to the caps of your choosing.

Hello Claire,

Would you mind sharing your process to create your gifs ? I really like them ❤️

Hi nonnie ಥ_ಥ

i'm not very good at explaining things in detail so i'm gonna cop out of giving you a very detailed tutorial and link you VERY VERY VERY detailed tutorials for you to familiarize with the basic process of giffing

hayaosmiyazaki's detailed tutorial

baijingting's detailed tutorial

itsphotoshop resources

for MY PERSONAL PROCESS it's in the following order: import video frames to layers -> resize -> convert to smart object -> sharpen -> convert back into frames -> set animation frame speed -> coloring -> adding subtitles -> export

and i will share you my personal action pack and walk you through how i use my action to gif (because i think that's a more realistic answer to your question of how i make my gifs)

step 1: open photoshop -> file -> import -> video frames to layers...

step 2: choose my clip which is in mp4 format -> open -> drag the sliders to choose the range of my gif -> ok

step 3: import my action pack into photoshop by pressing the three line button -> load actions -> choose my personal action pack (atn) file -> open

step 4: (resize and crop) crop this into a specific size that i want 540 px - 400 px or 540 px - 350 px or 540 px - [whatever] px

step 5: choose convert to smart filters -> click triangle button at the bottom that would say 'play selection' if i hover it

step 6: (sharpening) choose either 'extra regular sharpening' or 'super hd+noise sharpening' -> click triangle button at the bottom that would say 'play selection' if i hover it

step 7: (convert them back into frames) choose 'adjust frame rate after sharpening' -> click triangle button at the bottom that would say 'play selection' if i hover it. my default frame rate is 0.04. if i don't like this frame rate then i would choose either one of these actions and play them in order to change my frame rate. i use mostly 0.04 or 0.05 but sometimes certain gifs call for 0.03 (for 60fps vids) or 0.06 (for gifs i only have under 20 frames)

note: this is my weird specific way of giffing, not everyone does it just how i do it. some will color and add the subtitles after sharpening and then export right away. personally i like this way so i could adjust the frame rate myself so this is completely optional.

step 7: (coloring and subtitling) i drag my ready made base coloring + font layers from this psd to the top most layer of my gif tab

i keep playing around with the layers until i get the coloring that i want. this process is all about trials and errors and there are no wrong and right ways to color. however it is helpful to look at gif coloring tutorials to get a sense of what others do, i personally just use my base own psds as a start, adjust the photo filter + brightness/contrast + selective colors layers.

step 8: (duplicating my font) this is my special not-so-secret giffing technique. first, i would edit my font into what i want it to say + click checkmark/done button at the top

then, making sure that i'm choosing the first frame in my timeline down below and that my font layer is currently being chosen on the right side tab, i would click 'set sub center' among my actions -> click triangle button at the bottom that would say 'play selection' if i hover it

and what i would get is my subtitle centered and duplicated. i personally find that one layer of subtitle is too light for my taste and i like seeing my fonts thicker and more visible through this method.

step 9: file -> export -> save for web (or when i'm very lazy i just press alt + shift + ctrl + s)

this is my save settings

but since it's currently bigger than 10 MB, i'll hit cancel and go delete some frames so i can achieve a size smaller than 10 MB (or else Tumblr refuses to let me upload it)

now that it is smaller than 10 MB -> save -> choose folder you want to save your gif in + rename -> save

and this is my end result

this is the history of my giffing process

alternatively; on days when i'm super lazy or for gifsets that have a LOT of gifs and i just want to focus on putting the dialogues in them without cropping them into smaller size, i use my ULTIMATE action which combines the process of resize + sharpening + convert back to frames and adjust the frame rate which is these ones

i choose one and hit play

and all that's left to do is delete the frames i don't want in my gif, color and subtitle and export (like above)

and voila ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

that's a basic rundown of how i realistically use my action pack to make all my gifs. i really hope this tutorial made sense and happy to share my action pack which has been a key resource of mine in my two years of serious gifmaking. feel free to come back if you have any questions about how i make my gifs 🙇‍♀️

- as per requested by @lady-alicent, this psd is specifically made for HDR muddy caps. this probably won't work for SDR caps - like / reblog if you use - don’t repost or claim as your own *note: this was made on a mac with a retina display so the coloring may be off according to what computer you use

psd#333 <- click to download

it will not work on every gif/picture!

you can edit it for your gif/picture; by changing opacity of some layers you will get different results as on examples above.

do not reupload, do not use to create new colorings and do not claim as your own.

reblog if using. that motivates to share them :)

crediting me if using is nice as well but not required.

hi everyone! so, i recently hit 20k followers on this blog, which is actually insane when i think about it. i really wanted to make something for you all and decided to make a little pack of some psds and actions. i absolutely love what i managed to put together, and hopefully you will as well!

the pack includes:

8 psds: 6 gif psds & 2 image psds

6 effect actions (+1 sharpen for gifs)

you can find previews and information for everything as well as the download link under the keep reading cut.

action information:

actions for image edits

the .atn file includes six effects, all of them are automatic and will flatten visible layers at the end.

it's recommended to use the actions before using psds.

you can use these actions on each other, or multiply them until you get your desired effect.

all previews (except for the natural light.atn preview) are made with using the iconic.psd, also included in this pack!

actions previews:

gif psd information:

these gif psds are made for the specific shows / movies named, however, they can of course be used on different projects as well.

none of the psds contain vibrance.

all the psds are poc friendly.

certain layers may need adjustments (they're named adjust) for different scenes.
