![]() On the other hand, I generally do export LR-edited RAW files as PSDs for any final tweaks in Photoshop. Using Topaz products as plug-ins within LR would be more convenient - but at the cost of losing the RAW file, if the Topaz results (along with any LR edits) can only be exported/used as a TIFF or PSD file. If I have this right, would it therefore be best to use Topaz first, on my from-camera RAW files, as a stand-alone noise-reduction "editor", followed by procesing in Lightroom on the resultant DNG file to do the usual things I might do to a RAW file in Lightroom to improve the photo? As I understand it, doing noise reduction as a first step will give a better quality (DNG) file for LR edits, which edits will have a greatly reduced tendency to exagerate noise, since noise will have already been eliminated or reduced.? I think most people who gif have similar processes to me too.There's already a thread for this but it seems to be discussing the Topaz noise reduction software used as a plug-in rather than as a stand-alone product.Īm I right, though, in thinking that use of the Topaz products as plug-ins to LR means that any original RAW file must be exported as a TIFF or other non-RAW file format following processing by the Topaz plug-in? The alternative seems to be to use a Topaz product as a stand-alone editor first, which can then have a DNG file as the export following the noise reduction (or whatever else Topaz processing does). :) I’m open to creating a post about my full giffing process when i find the time hahahaha. If you admire someone’s gif… you can always ask what techniques they used. So just be patient with yourself and be open to learning more. Like I said, I’m not an expert… and I only learned these things slowly through the course of me exploring giffing in the past years. I usually use 0.04 or 0.05 (slower) when I import full clips (not lessening frame count to every 2 frames when I import). All depends on the style you want to achieve. Oh and before exporting, you need to set the gifs frame rate. Keep in mind to stay within the 10mb parameters of Tumblr too when you export. But there are things you can do to lessen the pixelation through coloring before exporting and, proper settings and color picking while exporting. Even if you want the gif to capture the full blend of the color to not come out pixelated… it’s not always attainable. Unlike a video that can have all the colors available to remove pixelation and allow frames to move seamlessly without grains, a gif can only have max 256 colors. I learned how to use the adjustment tools by playing around with them, actually lmao Something to remember is that a gif is a file that compiles a series of photo frames, they are not vids so you can’t expect them to be as clear as the original video. It really depends on what you like to do and this can all be done in Photoshop. Coloring the gif and exporting it properly - there are a lot of color adjustments possible when giffing.Topaz Denoise helps smoothen the gifs and Topaz Clean helps sharpen the edges and outlines so your gifs won’t come out blurry. Topaz is an extension you can download and use on Photoshop. It is quite a detailed process… you can probably find some tutorials on youtube too? But, for me, I usually add smart sharpen, Topaz Denoise and Topaz Clean when processing gifs to smoothen and sharpen them. Editing the video clip to make them into a gif - I use Photoshop to process gifs.I’ll share how I use it on a different post hopefully. Here is a good tutorial on how to get Vapoursynth and work it. I don’t have sources for Avisynth though since I use mac. You can of course clip the videos through any video editing software, but usually saving them after clipping changes their quality. Vapousynth (for mac) or Avisynth (for windows) are softwares you can install to be able to clip your vids without changing the video quality. Clipping the videos - I use Vapoursynth to clip the videos.Getting the best possible quality for your clip is good so you know there is a higher chance your gif would also come out hd. I use 4K Video Downloader to download vids from youtube. ts files are sometimes compressed and vid quality isn’t optimum either. But you still have to check, because some. ![]() ts type video files are usually the highest quality. Finding and gathering content source - for video quality.Hi!! uhmmm… this is a loaded question lmao I’ll try to be brief ( me? brief answers? lmao) and maybe share a tutorial for each step soon? I’m not an expert or a pro… and I just learned stuff from watching and asking then applied them too… but anyway… my main steps to giffing…
