DE-GREEN GIFS in photopea — a coloring tutorial by kai at @photopeablr​​

howdy everyone! i come bearing another gift of a tutorial, as i’ve seen people run into this problem many times of giffing subjects being... incredibly difficult to de-green. 

this tutorial requires:

photopea (free online photoshop)

basic giffing knowledge (check out our gif tutorials tag if you need to!)

with all that out of the way, let’s begin!

so first thing’s first, we need to get our gif loaded into photopea for us to start with. here’s a screenshot of my gif after i loaded in all the frames and cropped it to the size i wanted (540x400):

from here, we can start coloring! for those of you who haven’t read my coloring tutorial from a couple years ago, my method is more or less very similar to how it was back then. i still do the layer > adjustment layer > brightening/contrast step (though for this gif, i changed the opacity of the layer to 30%) and the layer > adjustment layer > levels, which i have set to these numbers in the pop up:

and doing all of that leaves us with our gif looking like this:

(i know the difference is very minimal but this tutorial is an entire process, give it a minute lol)

but now we get to the fun part: getting rid of that damn green filter.

in my original coloring tutorial, i used a channel mixer layer because i was following a method similar to this tutorial. while that tutorial is great for yellow-tinted scenes (i still use that method to this day), over the years, i realized that it wasn’t as great for green-tinted gifs. this is how i started to play around with another adjustment layer known as color balance.

color balance does exactly what it sounds like it does: it balances the colors of your gif. since we’re trying to balance out all the green that’s happening in this gif, it makes sense to use this adjustment layer. go to layer > adjustment layer > color balance (visual below):

and you’ll get a pop up similar to the channel mixer adjustment layer, but just a bit different. this part of the tutorial requires for you to play around with this adjustment layer—the settings that you are going to use for any gif you make are gonna be different no matter what you’re giffing, so play around with the different settings to see how they mess with the colors of your gif until you get something that neutralizes the green for the gif you’re working with. for my gif here, these are the settings i used for the shadows, midtones, and highlights:

and in doing so, now my gif looks like this (with a before/after):

we’re only three adjustment layers in and it’s already MUCH better than what we had. color balance tends to do most of the work for us in getting the green filter out, so now we can do the rest of our coloring process (whatever that looks like for you) to finish the gif. here is the fully colored + sharpened gif:

and that’s it! a simple tutorial, but it’s immensely useful when giffing with weird green-toned scenes.

a couple things before i stop this tutorial: in some cases, sometimes you’ll need to combine a color balance layer with a channel mixer layer, but (at least in my gif experience) that’s few and far between. color balance is more or less the only layer i really need to use when trying to get rid of green tones, but sometimes scenes need a little extra touches with the channel mixer layer to help neutralize the gif a bit more so it’s easier to color later on in your coloring process. but, again, those are few and far between.

no matter what you’re giffing, color balance is a great base layer that you can build off of with other adjustment layers and should really help out in making that gross green filter go away!
