We don’t often mention how much we appreciate all of your love and support, but we hope you know it anyways. You are the reason we even have a site and the reason we make screencaps every day. Every single message you send means the world to us and we can’t express how thankful we are.
Our last psd pack has received such a lovely feedback and it’s awesome to know that you like not only our screencaps, but our psds as well. This pack consists of two psds, one of them is vibrant and the other one is pastel.
It would be lovely of you to like/reblog this post if you download the pack, but further credit isn’t necessary.
this will be a really short and easy tutorial because i follow the same steps pretty much all the time and i use psds instead of creating new colorings every time and you're proably nor interested in that at all but anyways here we go
here are some examples:
what you have to do first is find a screencap you want to use and i recommend using this blog which is a part of this site (i might or might not be selfishly promoting a site that i run with my friend no big deal or anything please use my caps i will love you forever)
i'm going to use this one just because erica looks gorgeous and really, who needs a reason when it comes to erica? nobody that's who
now open your photoshop and the picture you want to use and crop the picture so that it's 100x100 px. all you have to do is set these cropping options
and crop your picture, it doesn't really matter how you choose to crop it as long as you like how it looks. after cropping your image, apply any sharpening action you like (you can use one of mine if you want)
here's what my icon looks like so far:
all you have to do now is apply a psd. i used this one but you can use any of my other ones or your own or any other psd that you like
and it looks pretty good already so you can save it and use it but i just like to color the background because i think it make the icon prettier and i just like that effect a lot? anyways, i explained how to make the backround effect here. and it's actually really easy to do so it will take you less than a minute but will make your icon look really cute and it will also trick people into thinking you put effort in making your icon when you literally spent like 2 minutes
aaaand here's the result:
if you have ANY questions, just let me know. seriously, don't ever be too shy to message me because it makes me really happy that people actually read my crappy tutorials so if i can be any help, i'll be more than glad to answer any of your questions!!
this psd is just a little ‘thank you’ to all my lovely followers. honestly, i still can’t believe there are 7 thousand of you. thank you so much for everything. i love you <333
it should work on lots of tv shows and movies, just adjust some of the layers according to how light the scene is. you are more than welcome to play around with this psd until you’re satisfied with the result, but please don’t repost it or claim it as your own.
i reached 6k followers a few days ago and i am so, so thankful for each and every one of you!! this is a small gift for my lovely followers. this pack contains 5 psds: 2 psds for merlin, 2 psds for teen wolf and 1 psd for the walking dead. feel free to adjust, add and delete any layers you want until you like the result, but please don’t claim any of these as your own.
sooo a lovely anon requested a tutorial on how to do something like this:
and i'm not really sure how to call that effect, but it's actually really easy to make and i hope my incapability to explain won't make it hard for you to understand :) you need some basic skills for this (how to make a gif and how to color it), i've already made tutorials on both of these things, you can find them here: [x]
aaaand here we go
as i said, you already need some giffing knowledge to use this tutorial, so i won't explain the process of creating a gif, but if you have any questions, let me know!
so, here's our original gif:
i would recommend you to use a scene without lots of movement, so that when you apply a background color, it covers the backgroung throughout the entire gif (does this make any sense???)
and here is our gif with a coloring:
i'm usually too lazy to make any effort when it comes to photoshop, so i would just save this gif and add it to the gifset, but it's a matter of taste and stuff, so i'll just start explaining the whole background thing now :)
and it will literally take you a minute to do it; just create a new layer underneath the coloring and set it to linear dodge
now choose a soft brush and set the size to around 150 px and simply start filling in your background with it. you can choose whatever color you want, but i always try to use colors that suit the color of the scene. anyways, it doesn't really matter because i always mess up with finding a perfect color and there's a way to fix it, which we will talk about a bit later :)
here are my brush settings, just in case:
this is pretty much it, especially if you chose a color that fits your gif perfectly. which never ever happens to me, so i have to deal with it every time. but it's easy :)
just click ctrl+u and this window will appear:
what you have to do is play around with hue until you've found a color that you think fits your gif the best :)
this is my result gif:
and this is how my layers panel looks, just in case it helps you in any way:
this is optional: you can also reduce the opacity of this filled-with-brush layer (i have absolutely no idea how else to call it) if that's what you feel like doing, that's totally up to you. you can also add some gaussian blur to this layer to soften the edges even more.
and this is it! you just make a gif, apply a coloring, create a layer underneath it, set it to linear dodge, fill it in with a soft brush (not all of it obviously, just the part that you want colored), erase any imperfections you made with an eraser tool (i always need to do it because i fail at not messing up, but you might not need to erase anything)
then, if you're not satisfied with the color, play around with hue until you like the result. this entire process will take you few minutes or less, so it's really easy :)
multifandom coloring for light scenes [download here]
it's just a random coloring that i made for morgana scene but it works on other merlin scenes and it looks pretty good on teen wolf as well (maybe it will work for other shows, too)
you willl probably need to add more brightness for darker scenes, feel free to play around with curves and brightness; i just tried the original coloring on other scenes and used the results as example gifs, it will look much better with more curves
