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.
Please read this for a more detailed breakdown of how these actions work.
- 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%)
**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.
