I’ve gotten a few questions on how I made this gifset, and I figured I would show you, since it’s really not that complicated if you choose the right scenes for it.
This tutorial includes 3 versions of color isolation for gifs and assumes you have basic knowledge of Photoshop and gifmaking.
Your gifs are so cool and vibrant. Please do a coloring tutorial??
Hi, thank you so much!
My coloring process is always the same, and very simple! Under the cut I will explain it:
1. CURVES
I always start with a curves layer and I use the first and third droppers. The first dropper adjusts the dark parts of your scene, so you'll click on the darkest spot of your gif (the closest that spot is to black the better.) The third dropper adjusts the light parts of your gif, but instead of clicking on the lightest spot of the gif, I prefer to click on the lightest spot in the character's face. This is how my layer looks like in that Luke gif:
This method doesn't work on all scenes, so sometimes I adjust it manually. Some scenes are hard to colour with the droppers (for example, scenes with neon lights) and in those cases I just click on ‘Auto’ to bring brightness to the scenes, without drastically changing the colours.
2. BASE PSD
After I have my curves layer I always follow the same method: Brightness, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color, Curves and Vibrance. You'll probably have to adjust them depending on your scene, but the truth is that my settings are always very similar:
1. Brightness: Between 15-30 / Contrast: Between 5-15 (this will depend on your scene, if it’s dark I usually go with 30/15, but if it isn’t then 15/5 should work just fine.)
2. Levels: 10 / 1.00 / 245
3. Color Balance: This is the layer which will need more adjustment depending on the scene. That Luke scene has a plain background, and since I wanted to make it blue I edited this layer like this (Shadows: -0, 0, -12 / Midtones: -16, 0, +20 / Highlights: -14 / -5 / +13).
4.1. Selective Colour (reds & yellows): This layer is so important to make the colours look natural. The Reds and Yellows which will affect your character's skin tone. In this scene as you can see Luke’s face is a little bit red, so I used this layer to fix that (x x). For most shows/movies I’ve found that the problem is actually the opposite and the character’s skin is way too pale (it’s just that this scene has great lightning lol). To fix that I edit only the Reds by increasing the Cyan, Magenta AND Yellow until I’m happy with the result.
4.2. Selective Colour: Magenta (x), cyan (x) and blue (x). Sometimes, I also edit the black (like this: Black: +5/+10), but in this case it wasn’t necessary.
5. Curves: I just click 'Auto' to make the gif more bright. Sometimes, if the scene I'm working with is too dark instead of Curves I add another Brightness/Contrast layer or I use an Exposure layer.
6. Vibrance: Between 30-50 / Saturation: Between 5-20 (this depends on the scene too, because if you add too much saturation your character's face will most likely look yellow :/)
Obviously, these exact settings won't always work, so you'll have to play a little with them. My advise is that if your coloring doesn't look right, edit the Brightness/Contrast, Color Balance and Selective Colour (the red, mostly) layers.
3. BACKGROUND
As I said this Luke scene already had great lightning. After all the adjustments I made before the only thing I had to do to bring out the Cyan was adding another Selective Colour layer and edit the Cyan (x) and Blue (x).
But, let's be real, most of the time this isn't the case. I’m going to use this Han Solo gif as an example:
This is how it looks like after using the previous method. It looks pretty and bright, but I want the background to look more blue. I use different methods to make colourful gifs, but lately the one I've been using the most are Gradient Layers. So you’ll click on Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map. I choose these colours (2776ec and 001dfa) and set the Gradient Map to ‘Overlay’ (depending on the scene I use overlay, soft light or colour.) Now my gif looks like this:
This is a scene with very little movement, so to fix Han I’m going to add a Layer Mask in the Gradient Map and paint with black all over him (if you’r not familiar with Layer Mask check this and this, they’re a life saver if you’re making colourful gifsets!) My Layer Mask now looks like this. And this is the final result:
Obviously with gifs with more movement this will be more complicated, but I usually don’t mind if the blending isn’t perfect.
I’ve gotten a few questions on how I made this gifset, and I figured I would show you, since it’s really not that complicated if you choose the right scenes for it.
This tutorial includes 3 versions of color isolation for gifs and assumes you have basic knowledge of Photoshop and gifmaking.
i’ve been asked a couple of times about how i color my gifs and if i have a tutorial on coloring, so i thought i’d make one. the only things you need for this are photoshop (i use cc 2018, but any ps will do!) and basic gifmaking knowledge, since this tutorial is only about coloring. i’m leaving the tutorial under the cut:
to download, select FILE and MAKE A COPY. edit it in any way that you want, but i ask that you don’t remove the credit. it’s already very small and out of the way.
this is a single-page multimuse doc with an simple set-up that’s easy to edit. to preserve the size and angle of the icons, right-click the image and select REPLACE IMAGE followed by your source.
this was my attempt at a single-font challenge. hope you guys like it. :)
this is a FREE carrd template for roleplaying purposes, made with multimuses in mind. #004 ( live preview here ) is basic account friendly, utilizing exactly 50 elements. this carrd contains a rules / etc. page + muse pages separated by media type. it supports ( one image + basic info ) per muse. the default layout is 5 sections with 12 spots each ( max of 60 muses ). you are welcome to edit sections to suit your needs.
this is a VERYminimalistic carrd because of the restriction of 50 elements. each row of ( 4 ) images is condensed into a single image prior to putting it in the carrd - you can download the template below. a row of ( 4 ) muses is condensed into ( 1 ) table, the rules page is condensed into ( 2-3 ) elements : this makes it a bit more difficult to edit, admittedly, but it’s the tradeoff for keeping this basic friendly.
how to obtain : you can get this carrd template ( here ). the minimum price is set to $0 - FREE. if you would like to support me, that is also appreciated.

@INDIEDOCS PRESENTS : CANNOLI . . . A SINGLE MUSE DOC !
cannoli is a google docs template designed for single muse blogs and inspired by sonny carisi from law and order : svu . this is a very structure dependent doc, meaning the content is designed to fit on one page . mobile friendly except for the top title, which can overlap .
want to use it?
click the link, select “file” and then “make a copy”
do not remove the credit under any circumstances.
how to edit it?
the image in the first column is 400 px by 804 px. click the image and then click “replace image” in order to change it.
psd used is currently unreleased but was made by me.
for color scheme changes, the following may be helpful :
the background page color and basic text color are the same.
the quote highlight color and all border colors are the same.
the main title, header and accent color for stats, etc. are the same.
the background of the tables / main header, the quote text and the credit are the same color.
the columns are structured, so adding text beyond what they can hold will disrupt the formatting. however, additional columns can be added by a simple copy and paste if you need more space on a second page.
feel free to fiddle with this to your liking, but give credit still. xoxo
please like and / or reblog this post if you use this template!
I’ve found that I often work with weirdly tinted scenes which are sometimes challenging to colour, so I’m here to share how I tend to work around them.
There is no one way to colour gifs, and something that works for me may not work for you! This post just contains some things I wish I’d known when I started making gifs years ago.
To understand this, you need to:
already know how to make gifs on Photoshop
have basic knowledge of different adjustment layers
