Okay, so I need to work on the birthday gifs again aaaaaand with all of this extra space, I can also start breaking down more and more concerts and MVs and stuff 😄 Honestly excited, I don't have to keep deleting all of the WIPs once they're completed anymore

#thistale rambles #since i use paint.net i have to mosify every frame individually when i need to adjust something #and like fuck am i ctrl-z'ing my way through 20-30+ frames if i do something and decide i don't like it #instead i save it as a new file every change #(so there's the base file when i have the frames i want in the right order #then the file after i sharpen all the frames #then the file for brightness/contrast #because those two steps happen every gif #then a file if i touch the saturation #a file if i modify the temperature and/or tint #(i tend to do temp and tint separately these days even though they're the same adjustment in paint.net)#if i'm unsure about the crop i wabt #i'll do a file called 'crop guide'#where i make a new layer on top and go through and draw a box around the most important part(s) that i need to crop around #and sometimes i have 4+ different crop attempts before i'm happy #so each of those is a different file #for the birthday sets #i also need to decide what gifs get the accent color and so adding the color is another file #and then when i resize the gif down i make a new file so i have the larger original if i need to make modifications #so all of these different files take up space #and then i have to delete them when i'm done #when i'm a packrat and i'd much rather not #i don't have the original gifs for any of the birthday sets posted so far because i needed more space #and that honestly makes me sad #buuuuut new hard drive!#should mean this isn't a problem anymore)
