Here’s a simple gif tutorial, using PotPlayer instead of KMPlayer. Sorry if everything is choppy in the video. I probably had way too many things open while I was recording this. Also, please ignore the part where I’m clearly having an issue selecting all the layers. The screen recording box was in the way. All you have to do is select the top layer, scroll down and hold down shift while you select the bottom layer.

Also, when resizing your image, you do not have to resize it to 502 and then crop it to 500 later. I just prefer to do that because in the past I have had issues with lines appearing around my gifs when I would post them and they are not pretty. It does not always happen and it is not necessary to go through this process.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an ask!

Hey there -- for your Natasha&Coulson gifset, I was wondering how you get that sort of screen over the graphic that you used? I really like the way it looks and would like to try it out myself...

I use this texture

(if you want more of these sort of textures, this is the texture pack c:)

I set it to lighten, and duplicate it.

And I put one of them under the coloring and set it to 5% opacity. And then the other one goes above the coloring, and it’s at 15-19% opacity, and the fill is set to 70-80%

Here’s a picture in case I described it terribly

Tutorial #3

Okay, so to start off, open a new document and make it 500x650. 

Now, open up ten photos that you want to use.

Once they're open, click on the crop tool  and set the ratio to 16 x 9 

After cropping all ten photographs, place them on the blank canvas in whatever order you want them in.

Then, select all the layers like this and then hit ctrl and the "t" key and start moving it until the rectangle around the photo looks like this.

And this is the point where I use Topaz. I use Topaz Detail first, then Topaz Denoise, and then finally Topaz Clean. These are all of my Topaz settings. Clean helps smooth out the edges, that's the only reason I used it for this.

Now edit the thing however you want, or add a psd.

Now create a black and white layer. These are my settings. Basically just darker grey - lighter grey.

Now grab the selection tool and go to one of the pictures that you can see COMPLETELY and select it like this. And now you choose which pictures you want to keep black and white and which ones you want to be colored. Just move the selected part over it -I use to keys to move it. shift + arrow key, shift makes it move faster- and then hit the delete button on your keyboard. Keep doing this until all the ones you want colored are colored again.

Now add your text. Just put each word you want over the box you want it on.

Hit the select box again and select one of the WHOLE pictures again. And then, move the selection box over one of the pictures with the text over it. *If you have text on one of the top boxes like me, make sure the selection box looks like this over it.

Now, use this tool  and then go up to the top and use these two buttons.

Go back to the selection tool and move the selection box and then go back and use those two buttons again until they're all centered.

I hope this isn't too confusing. If you have any questions, please ask. And I'd appreciate if you were to ask OFF anon, that way I can make sure YOU get the help you need. :3
