I'm here for you, Vincent.

I also want to know how these two gifs are possible...



...without adjusting each layer of the gif individually
to add in the color in those specific areas.

I made a tutorial on this for Jack. I'll send it to you.

I don't even know what you mean by Timeline.

And if you convert all your frames to a single layer, doesn't that stop the
"animation" part of the gif since it's just a photo if it's a single layer?

Apparently, I've been doing it the hard way for so long.

...Vin

In Photoshop, there's two kinds of animation: frame and timeline. Frame looks like this. Timeline looks like this. Clicking the button labeled H in the Frame picture (which is located in the absolute bottom left in CS6) converts Frame animation to Timeline animation. You can alternatively go to the panel's menu and click "Convert to Video Timeline".

That is true, but only if you merge it like a regular layer. You want to merge your layers but still retain all the information—that's where you use Smart Objects. Once you're in Timeline animation, you can select all of the layers and "Convert to Smart Object". Now all of that information will be confined in one layer. If you click play, the gif will still play. And now that it's in just one layer, you can add filters to the entire gif (sharpen, blur, etc).

Don't listen to whatever Devil tells you. He'll probably show you some crazy, convoluted way of doing it. And it'll come out ratchet (look at that pink Kim gif )

Do I what I said about using Video Timeline and converting frames to a smart object.
Then open a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer. Click the dropdown menu that says "Master". Turn down the saturation all the way for each color except the one you want to stay (in my case, blue).
Da dun dun.

Is it late for me?

Go away, Chris.

Shut. up.



This sounds so much simpler and I'm definitely going to try
this method later today or tomorrow. Thank you so much, Doc.

Devil... thanks for trying to help.

Anytime, bro.

It's never too late. Do you have black and white attire?

This is so useful, thanks Doc

Working with frames is a mess. No one has time for all those layers, especially with a larger gif.
You should always use the Timeline and convert your frames into one single layer.
Then add your adjustment layers, starting with Black & White.

I used to work with frames when I started making gifs in 2008. I didn't know there were other alternatives because that was how I learned. I could spend a day long to make one gif.

Unless you have a powerhouse comp... it does take a while sometimes.
Once I get around 700 frames it takes a little while longer to work with...



But now we know a better way, thanks to Doc and Devil.
