i got this game months ago and only completed vah naboris last week because stealth in zelda games terrify me and have probably taken years off my life

AKA how I get from this:

to this:

Before you start this tutorial, here is some things you already have to know or be able to do:

Basic knowledge of how to make gifs including where to get footage, what quality to use, how to screencap or import videos into frames, how to use Timeline and how to sharpen gifs.

Basic knowledge of how to use Photoshop layers and what they do including: Curves, Selective Color, and how to set opacity of layers.

Note: If you are unfamiliar with my technique, here is a link to a different tutorial by @thepunisher, who introduced me to this technique ages ago! Have a read through, if you find my own explanations confusing! 

The rest of this tutorial will be put under cut as it is extremely long because I take the time to explain what each layer does and why I chose to do it.

i’ve gotten a lot of requests recently asking me to make a tutorial for my ‘colorporn’ gifsets, and i think i’ve finally gotten over the traumatic incident 3 years ago, when i spent all day writing out a coloring tutorial only to accidentally hit backspace causing the entire thing to be wiped. so, here it is, buckle up folks! it’s going to be a long ride but here’s hoping it’ll be helpful.

so we’ll be going from left side (no coloring) to right (coloring & color porn):

first of all for those who doesn’t know, I maíra/eliteways (owner) I am Brazilian. in the blog i speak spanish because it is the native language from most of Lali fans. I don’t speak well in english and spanish, so I use google translator.

PS: but I understand the two languages perfectly

so I’ll do the tutorial in English to be faster, and have less chance of making mistakes with the translator

I hope you like it if you have any questions just ask

HOW TO MAKE THIS: 

-gotta have eat first

-gotta sleep enough first

(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)

-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)

-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”

-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)

-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)

-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now

-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)

-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening

-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying

recuva - accidentally deleted something in the recycling bin? recover it back with this program!

speccy - tells you the specs of your computer, among other things

Since there aren’t half as many PSDs or coloring tutorials designed for POC, I figured a better way is to show people how to adjust the PSDs or techniques they already have on hand instead.

Things we will look at:

How to recognize white washed POC**

How to fix it

I’ve divided it into 3 parts under the cut :D

**This is also for people who reblog things and want to know what is and isn’t white washing

FOLLOW THIS RULE OF THUMB:

• If the scene is too yellow, use a gradient map (just black and white) and set it to screen. Then use the color balance and start adding blues and reds (not a lot of red, it’ll bring the yellow to purple though most of my gifs have a hint of purple cuz I like it)

• If the scene is too blue, do as above but instead of blues, start adding yellows and reds. 

have you ever decided to gif a scene and when you loaded the layers you saw that was quite green and yellow and then slowly whispered under your breath “whathefuck”? yeah, well I’m going to try to explain how you can still gif it and make sure it looks normal and not green/yellow
