layer masks play a big part in my colorings for both gifs and icons/other still edits, and i briefly touch base on them in my coloring tutorials. i figured i’d make an entire post about layer masks so i can link to this in my other tutorials instead of trying to re-explain it every time.

the big question is: what is a layer mask? well, it’s this white rectangle that’s connected to every adjustment layer you add:

and what do they do? they allow you to have adjustments appear on specific parts of the gif/screenshot/etc instead of it affecting it as a whole.

to really show you how much i use them and how helpful they can be, without using a single layer mask, this gif

would look like this:

How to make high quality gifs

The question people ask me the most on here besides “are you dead” is how to make gifs and how to make them look good. So I finally decided to make a tutorial how to go from this: (I know this tutorial is pretty long and I apologize for that, I just wanted to make a tutorial everyone can understand because when I was a beginner I always wished for more detailed tutorials on this topic.)

Hi, I love your content. I’m trying to start making gifs, but I’m struggling with them being more pixelated than I’d like. How do you get them o be so crisp? They’re kind of grainy so they look sharp like the noise was increased?

hey, and thank you! i always use these sharpening settings + a gaussian blur set to 30% opacity:

as for the grain, i only use those when i’m giffing stuff like horror films or something (for example, x and x) and i want the gifs to look grainy purely for The Aesthetic. for that i set my gifs to “diffusion” + 10-15% lossy when i’m exporting the gif like so (circled in red):

but normally i save my gifs as “pattern” instead of “diffusion” because i personally don’t like grain or noise! but of course you can choose to save your gifs however you prefer

hope this helps you❤️

Hey there! I though it would be helpful to post about how I use the app Notion to plan my novels (WIPs). I use it on my computer and phone. It has really helped the organisation of my writing!

You can create different pages, as you can see in the side bar I have 3. Here is WIP Planning page, I have used the thesis planning template and changed it a bit. Zoom in on the picture to see what I use it for!

Reblog to help someone with their organisation!
