#tutorial by ali

basically you cap, import, make your gif as normal. if you don’t know how to do that, i have a tutorial here. 

to start off, you have your gif. (this one’s already sharpened)

add your base psd

now!! before you make any more adjustments or mess with masks!! turn your frame animation into a video timeline by clicking this icon

and then your timeline should look like this

select all of your gif frames in the layers tab on the right (but not the coloring!!) right click and find the “convert to smart object” option and click that.

altogether it should look like this

and back to coloring! 

that blue line on her face was bothering me so i made a selective color layer under the base psd and go to the “cyans” option where it says colors and put the cyan one to -100 and now it looks like this

it changed quite a bit of the background so i clicked on the mask part of the layer and i painted over the background with a black brush (tutorial here) so now it looks like this 

(you can actually see where i painted the background in the photo above)

then i added a hue/sat layer, went to the cyans tab. 

settings: hue +5, sat +100, lightness 0

NOW there’s that pesky little corner.. basically i painted over the left side of the gif with a color that matched and now it looks like this (ignore the dots, it’s the way i saved it)

now i added another hue/sat layer, cyans tab again

settings: hue -10 / sat +100 / lightness -5

and now you have your finished gif!

here’s what the layers bar looks like in case you’d like to see which parts i painted on the masks :)

i hope this tutorial helped! sorry i linked to other tutorials, but it seemed silly to re-do them so i linked instead~
