druid, do you mind my asking how you do that static gif effect on your graphics? ive seen people use it but after googling & searching, i can’t find a texture similar! :(

good afternoon luv ! 💞 after looking around for a very helpful tutorial i saw awhile ago , i came up empty . but have no fear , i can still help ! i've shortened the process by creating a smart object file here that contains a noise overlay ! available for public use !

tips : make sure the noise layer is in soft light mode . you may adjust the opacity as desired , as well as clicking on [ > add noise ] in your smart layers to adjust the grain consistency . this overlay will also work on top of gifs . ( if your gif is longer than the noise layer , simply duplicate the noise layer into the same video track to create a loop . ) whether working with gifs or still images , you'll have to remain in video timeline mode to receive a gif .

i hope this helps ! i can do a more thorough tutorial explaining how i made the smart object , if you would prefer that ! 💞

Hi! I download your newest Photoshop 2024 two nights ago, and it's saying there is only a 5 day grace period before it uninstalls itself if I don't license it. I thought this was meant to be free, so did something happen when the file was created or did I misunderstand what is going on with this?

Hi there!! My apologies for posting this publicly, instead of answering you privately, but I just want to be able to make sure that if anyone else runs into this issue, that they easily have access to the fix. Now, this hasn't happened to me at present after numerous days of consistent use, nor have I heard of anyone else running into it, but I am aware that it can happen, but the fix is actually quite simple (I had to do this for a previous version). Okay, this involves a little bit of navigating and tinkering in Windows, but I'll run you through it, don't worry.

In essence what happened is that Photoshop was able to connect to the Adobe servers, where it verified itself through an automated process, and realized it wasn't quite activated yet. This is nothing concerning, and is something that us little pirates have had to deal with for years without any issue at the backhand. So the simple, very old, and private solution to this is to not let Photoshop connect to the internet at all (this will not limit it in any way), and accomplishing that is simple enough. Before you go through these steps however, please uninstall Photoshop, and reinstall it (ideally in a slightly different location, even if it's in a subfolder.) After that, here, let me run you through the steps!

Step 1. Do a search for 'Windows Defender', and click 'Windows Defender Firewall' when it pops up as a search result. When the window pops up, navigate to the left-hand side and select 'Advanced settings', like below:

Step 2. In the new window, click 'Outbound rules' to the left-hand side, and then 'New rule' on the right-hand side immediately after:

Step 3. Another window will pop up, and in the options given to you, select 'Program', and then, do you remember when you first installed Photoshop? Navigate to that folder, and you'll find the according application file called 'Photoshop' with its usual little icon on the left. To help you, the default path (where I have it installed) is as shown underneath, including the file you should select:

Step 4. Select the file, hit 'Open' in the bottom-right, hit 'Next', and make sure that you then select 'Block this connection'. On the next screen, it'll ask you when the rule should be applied and all options should be checked, if they are not, be sure to check them. You can name this rule however you want on the next screen, it won't matter! Hit 'Finish', and all should be fine from hereon out!

If you run into any problems with any of these steps, let me know, or leave me a little DM and I'll be happy to help!! I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. <3 Have a lovely night!!

Download: Adobe Photoshop 2025 (v26.5) / Windows

I come bearing the gift of piracy as an early Easter present! Welcome to the most recent (at the time of writing) version of Adobe Photoshop, which was released on March 27th of 2025. As per usual, have a peek at the note below, as it's there to help avoid the most common issue.

Authenticity popup? In case you get a message that says Photoshop needs to be licensed, or it will uninstall itself otherwise, please have a look at this fix! (Always uninstall previous Photoshop installations prior to installing a new one)

Step 1: Download the file from my Google Drive, or Mega.nz Step 2: When done downloading, unzip it (Windows can do it for you, but I personally use a program called 7ZIP) anywhere on your PC, even your desktop works fine, and yes, you can delete it when you're done with all of these steps. Step 3: Go into the unzipped folder, click 'Setup', and Photoshop's usual installation window will pop up. Install it as per your preferences (if you aren’t too tech-savvy, don’t worry, you can leave the default installation options as they are and all will be fine). Step 4: Hit 'Launch', and well— enjoy your copy of Photoshop! (Step 5: I would absolutely love you if you could spare a reblog of this post, which is not even for my own sake, but for anyone else who might be looking to obtain a copy of Photoshop!)

If in the unlikely event that you do run into any sort of issue of any kind, my DMs and askbox are always here for you, so don’t be shy, I promise I’ll welcome you with chocolate and fruit.

While I don’t request for anything in return outside of a like if this helped you (or ideally, a reblog so that others can find this), I was asked in the past whether I had a Ko-fi, so I set one up back in the day. It’s not required at all, but it’s always appreciated. 🤍

hi friends! i want to start working on gifs again, but i'm struggling to figure out if i like my current sharpening action enough or if i want to change it. so here i am, asking for help. i included a gif with no sharpening whatsoever, as well as my current one. and, of course, two new actions i'm learning towards. so if y'all could vote on your favorite one, i would be eternally grateful.

GIF SHARPENING ACTION 2.0 by @daenerys-stormborn

This is an updated version of my “all in one” gif action I made 5 years ago. It very similar but I added a new sharpening that I now use, v3: sharper blur. ‼️ UPDATED APRIL 2024 ‼️ I used a new sharpening now. I updated the action and it should be in the link. It’s under ‘sharper v2′.

Please read this for a more detailed breakdown of how these actions work and how I make my gifs.

v1: normal -  smart sharpen (amount 500%, .3px)

v2: sharper - first smart sharpen (amount  500%, .3px) -> second smart sharpen (amount 10%, 10px)

v3: sharper blur -  first smart sharpen (amount  500%, .3px) -> second smart sharpen (amount 20%, 10px) -> gaussian blur (radius 1px; opacity 52%) -> third smart sharpen (amount 500%, 0.2px) -> fourth smart object (amount 5%, 5 pixels) -> second gaussian blur (radius 1, opacity 10%)

sharper v2 (not shown on the gifset) - first smart sharpen (amount 150%, radius 0.4px) -> second sharpen (amount 10% radius 64px)

**v2 looks better in 540 gifs than smaller gifs, its a bit over sharpened here for my taste**

Actions also included:

Load Files Fast - for people using PS CS6 or older, uses “Load  Multiple DICOM Files” for faster screencap loading.

Brighten - duplicates the smart object then changes blending mode to screen and converts it back into one single smart object to brighten dark scenes.

Convert to Frame Timeline - converts smart object back into frames, sets frame delay, and changes canvas sizes to -2px (width & height) to take away transparent border around gifs (you can always delete this part if it doesn’t apply, please read detailed breakdown for more info).

Convert to Video Timeline - converts frames in frame timeline into a smart object in video timeline.

DL: action

These actions were inspired by hoechlin’s sharpening and trentcrimms’ sharpening.

note de stavroguine : j'ai rajouté sur ce 𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆 de nombreuses catégories pour ceux et celles qui souhaiteraient enrichir leur fiche. cela passe évidemment par la présence d'un registre de liens, d'une trivia et d'un moodboard, mais également d'une icône musicale personnalisable qui amène à un lien spotify, youtube, etc.

note de stavroguine 2 : il s'agit d'une remasterisation du document 𝐀𝐒 𝐈 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐖 𝐎𝐂𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅 𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐘 et du document 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐄, tous les deux remis au goût du jour.
