No one asked for this, but I’m in a tutorial mood so here we go! :)

You know when you make a gifset and want the colors to be the same? So you use the same PSD on all of them, but they’re still different? This one’s for you.

1.) Open your reference image (can be the other gif you’re trying to match, a psd, png, etc., doesn’t matter)

2.) Click Save for Web like you would when you go to save a gif, but DON’T save the gif

3.) Click the dropdown arrow on the top right corner of the color table

4.) Click save color table

5.) Name the file and click save

Now choose a gif scene that has somewhat similar colors (warm or cool toned basically) This one is pinkish so it’ll look good with the color table

You can edit the gif to be as close color wise to the example, such as adding a certain PSD or adding selective layers to the gif to get warmer or cooler tones. The point of loading a color table is to get the EXACT same color hues in each gif. In this example gif shown above, the colors are already along the same lines so I don’t even need to add any adjustment layers. 6.) Once you’re ready, go to Export for Web and click color table dropdown again, but this time click Load Color Table 

7.) Select your saved file and click Open.

8.) Then save the gif and it’s ready
