hey! i was wondering if you could explain us how you colored your ricky gifset bc it look gorgeous ^^
thank u!! you’re so sweet! and yes!
this is your gif with no coloring:
and the final result:
the first step is adding a levels layer, this is how i set up mine:
the gif will look like this:
now i add a selective color layer and set the blacks to 100%
our gif still looks dark, so i add some curves:
and we have this:
all right so now you add a white solid color layer, set to “exclusion” and reduce to opacity to something between 5% and 15%. that will depends of how bright your gif is.
the gif will look like this, i reduced mine to 10%:
ricky’s skin looks pink, so i will add a selective color and play with the reds and the yellows
these are my settings:
and the gif:
and now i add one more selective color layer and increase the blacks:
here how it looks:
yes! so this is our last step for a base coloring. if you want, you can save all these settings as a psd file and use when you’re giffing, but remember to always check if the selective colors match the scene.
BUT, if you want to achieve my ricky’s gif look, keep reading.
i add another selective color layer:
ricky looks like this:
now we’ll play with some hue/saturation! the first thing i do is reduce the master lightness to -20, this setting will apply to any scene you want, but i will also reduce blue and cyan saturation to -100 because i want to remove the color from the door behind ricky
here’s how the gif looks when i reduce the master lightness:
and when i remove the saturation from blue and cyan:
the final step is adding a levels layer and reduce the output levels to 200:
and we’re done!
i used the same settings on my seb gifs, but since the scenes were very dark i played a little bit more with the levels layers:
