how i color my gifs using photopea; a tutorial by sol.

welcome! nobody asked for this tutorial but i’m doing it anyway, and this is how i occupy my time. with this being said, i’ll be able to show you how i color my gifs as someone who isn’t using photoshop. today i’ll be showing you how i color my gifs using photopea and how i do it as a non ps user. be aware that this is a long post and that it is very image heavy!! continue to read under the cut! 

YOUR GIF: open your gif in photopea ( see image below ) this is how it will look like, i made mine using ezgif, my gif has zero adjustments other than sharpening. i can show you what sharpening settings i use on mine in a different tutorial, but this is my gif. a friendly reminder that 1080p is your best friend, if you can get anything higher, PLEASE do. my gif is sized at 268x151, you’re free to use whatever sizes you want, this is just how i size mine for gif packs. 

YOUR TOOLS: @tawaifeddiediaz​ made this guide to your tools, this is their guide and what each are called !!

STEP ONE: my first layer usually is an exposure layer. it just brightens up your gif and makes it overall look nicer and crispier if you will. i really just play around with it until i see something i like not gonna lie. so this is it for me. 

STEP TWO: what i do next, is a curves layer, to balance out coloring and what not. mess with it to your hearts content honestly, again, this is just my way of doing things, you are in no way required to do it my way. 

STEP THREE: these two layers are optional not gonna lie, i just use these to add contrast and what not but you’ll add more another curves layer, i personally add two, but not all of your gifs needs them so again be wary of how you do it! play with the opacity of your layers as well!

STEP FOUR: what i also like to do, is add a levels layer, makes everything kinda nice and smooth, you know, adds a level of spice ( nudge nudge wink wink :) ) also adds some brightness in case you lost it and i added two but you only have to add one if you want to

STEP FIVE: assuming that you know how to save gifs, you’ll save yours as such, lower your speed to 75% as one does to not have a very choppy gif! or honestly to however much you wish to slow yours down, not every project is the same, for this one i chose 65%. make sure you select GIF as your export method or else it won’t save correctly. 

ORIGINAL GIF ( NO COLORING JUST SHARPENING )
