side-out, bitch

step two: i take the b/w version of the above gif & i slap a photo filter over top and ramp up the vibrancy exponentially (depending on what colour i'm aiming for). i use a colour balance adjustment over top to enhance whatever i'm trying to do (truly depends on the colour, like always, but i will almost assuredly use colour balance in everything with colour).

this is the same gif above, but with a photo filter adjustment ("deep red") and then a vibrancy adjustment (upped to 100% with both sliders).

that same gif, but now with the colour balance applied (using only the red sliders in each section and (green?) in the 'hightlights' section of colour balance):

now turn that also into a smart object (use the duplicated b/w smart object for this and save the original b/w smart object for final use).

step three: shift the colour version of your gif down exactly 1 pixel & to the right one pixel & set the filter setting for the layer to "Pin Light" and you will get what you are looking for (as seen below) (also this gif is without lowering the opacity etc on the colour version of the gif once using Pin Light, it's just dependent on the vibrancy and what you're going for when you do the shift, cause some things look better for a lowered opacity etc).

that's all. it's truly up to you how you wanna apply the colour vibrancy and all that and how you firmly apply it. i'll typically use a layer mask once i'm done to do some clean-up (showing what i mean by this below this - a very lazy version of what i mean >.> but still lol).

if you have any other questions, you can let me know (so long as it's not about colouring omg lmao). and thank you for the lovely words & inquiry <3 if you have any questions also about anything mentioned above, please let me know, i don't mind answering (...........as long as it's not about colouring).

this is the gif i'm using as my example for this update*

so originally, in step three i said that you should move it the 1px by 1px, which is not technically correct. it does, in fact, achieve the look in the gif i used originally. however, you can adjust it however you want to suit the look of what you want etc. you just have to shift it more than 1px depending on what you want. the 1px by 1px suggestion is just that, a suggestion. a base point of where you can start if you want.

this is the gif above with it shifted 2 pixels down and i think 3 to the right (it might be 1, my brain lapsed after i clicked save lmao)

by shifting it more than the 1px by 1px, it actually makes clean up using a layer mask rather easier (cause of the lines being more separated, so easier to figure out what you wanna remove, but i'm also super blind, so this makes sense i prefer it as such lol). it's truly about what you like, what you prefer. as always.

that same gif, now with a layer mask applied & clean-up done i also altered the placement, + and added a vibrance layer)

*i made the colour version first & then copied the smart object, turned the duplication b/w, put the colour version over top, and followed the same application (turned the colour version to pin light and placed it accordingly)
