I think I'm getting better...(I hope!)

[ash48]

My plan for today was to learn how to make gifs in Photoshop. After watching lots of tutorials and playing around with PS I think I cracked it! (yay I love holiday time!).

Trying to get the quality within the 1mb, 500px limits on Tumblr proved to be quite the challenge.

I decided to experiment with something close to my heart - hurt!Sam with his hurt and angsty hair. :D

concrit very welcome. Only way to learn...

I reckon the penultimate one should be captioned "Not the hair! Anything but not the hair!"
Got to love the Samhair of Angst.

I saw this on Tumblr first and liked the layout you chose. And I loved the clip of the first one (here). I'd never seem that one before. Lovely group of hurty Sam!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

LOL hurt angst hair!!!!!

I know nothing about gif making (wah) so I can't offer any concrit sadly. The subject matter is A++++++++++ though.

ha! Sam's hair calls to me. ;)

I have to say, once I figured it all out it's not so hard. I thought PS would be impossible but it ended up being pretty easy.

[jessm78.livejournal.com]

These are great! I love how his now overgrown bangs just slip forward in that second one :)

Thanks for all the pretty!

[ash48.livejournal.com]

It was that second one that prompted me to do this. I love that moment so much...

[greyowl88.livejournal.com]

Lol. Love how in the first gifs he is like: "Oh, no. They got my hair. Not my hair!" And in last gif: "I made it through. They tried. I suffered. But it's still there, my hair." ;D
I'm really beginning to enjoy your gif posts... more! MORE!! :D

Are the frames part of the LJ post or the gifs? I like them.

xox

I tossed around the order of the pics - not really sure how I settled on this order. I like your idea so I'll take that! :)

The borders are a html code. I'm not sure (yet) how to put a border on the actual gif. It can be done in PS, but I haven't figured that one out yet...;)

one of these days I might be able to figure out Photoshop for my anis as well, so far? no luck *is with stupid when it comes with PS & anis*

[ash48.livejournal.com]

They are SO addictive! Who would have thought.

I've been playing a lot with Photoshop and I am FINALLY! getting the hang of it. Now I want to make everything really pretty - so back to the tutorials!
