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.

how to make a basic gradient

adding colors with brushes

softening & adjustments

What you´ll need:

any version of photoshop (I use CS6, mine is in german because I bought it years ago in germany) 

very basic photoshop knowledge 

i.  how to make a basic gradient

Open a new document in your desired size. 

There are several ways to make gradients. I always use the new fill layer option, right next to the new layer or new group buttons on the right side.

Click on it and select the second option.

Adjust the angle however you wish, and then click on the gradient to bring up the next window

Select any colors you want by clicking on the little droppers highlighted above. I used #ff27f2 on the left and #d58dfa on the right. Once you´re done click OK until your new gradient is on your document.

ii. add colors with brushes  

add a new layer & select a big brush with no hardness and low opacity.

select any color to paint with, I´ll be using  #e50051 &  #770dfa & plain white. Start painting on that new layer in slow strokes. You can add as many colors as you want. Mine now looks like this:

Now we merge our layers by selecting them, then righ click and selecting merge 

iii. softening & adjustments 

Go to filters -> blur > motion blur 

Depending on the gradient you´ll have to select different variables, but for this one I used the numbers below:

Sometimes I add Gaussian Blur too to blend it even more, but didn´t do that for this gradient. 

Now for the adjustments I only added a brightness and vibrance layer. This is the finished gradient:

This is my first sharpen set - it's 5 different actions with some subtle differences, but just try them out on whatever you are working with and pick which works best for you.

All of the actions are frame to timeline frame - meaning you don't need to save and reopen your gifs to save them as 0.05 speed as that is already done for you. It's my ✨lazy girl action✨ for photoshop.

having a vague "why am i writing this horrible story?" crisis about the anglo-saxon au fic that has taken over my mind since *checks* about two days ago. i have approx 2000 words of it written so it is going fairly well in that sense but i have gone a bit niche with my fics recently and am starting to think "nobody wants to read this, people will be annoyed at you if you post this" a bit more often, even though they probably won't because it's a free cake and it's rude to complain about free cake.

family blow up. long story but went to my parents' for dinner with my sister and we literally got kicked out, which has never happened before (we are 34 and 36), and over non-personal/idealistic shit at that. my dad said he didn't want to have us over anymore. i feel like i got fucking disowned. i just keep sobbing and can't seem to stop and i keep almost panicking/hyperventilating.

for i think the 3rd time in my life, i'm very glad i have ativan.

update about 2 hours later: i took a day off work tomorrow. my sick time is maxed out anyway, fuck it. i almost didn't cuz i was thinking it would actually be good to be distracted by work tomorrow, but tbh i don't think it'd actually work out like that and i'd just be shitty at my job while still being just as sad and preoccupied.

Hi!! I have a question about gifs. I’ve noticed some users (yourself included) have something on their gifs that I could only describe as sort of a net on top of their gifs. I noticed it, for example, on your Barbie/suicide squad parallels post. It almost seems like some sort of tool like noise where it helps to make a gif appear more hq. I’m wondering what that might be, or if I’m totally off base!

Hey! Unfortunately, I didn't save the PSD for that particular set - the closest one I still have was for this Sound of Music one, but the settings were fairly similar from what I remember.

There isn't really much to it, and the easiest way I can explain what the "net" is, is that it's basically the combo of your resize settings, sharpening/noise you've added to your gif, and finally your export settings. At least that's how it is for me - keeping in mind I usually try to work with the most HD cuts available so the quality is already there. Anything less than 1080p will always require more adjustment.

When figuring out your image size early on, ensure the resample size is set to Bicubic Sharper (reduction) as that'll give your gif a cleaner, more sharpened look to start with and it should make things easier moving forward.

Proceed to make your gif as usual.

I add Smart Filters last, and these gifs didn't require anything more than the simple Sharpen tool applied to the gif once the layer had been converted.

You can mess around with noise or blurring etc. if your gif doesn't quite look the way you want. Before sharpening, I sometimes use Stylize > Diffuse > Anisotropic > ~20% opacity (under blending options) to give the gif a softer look first and remove any graininess. It can look a little funky sometimes.

Lastly, when exporting your image, select Adaptive and Pattern as your save settings these can significantly change the final appearance of your gif - especially Pattern. The two in combination are what create the "net" and will retain the quality of your gif in export.

You should be all set with your quality-control "net"! 💜
