I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

yeah…

I have such appreciation of all the gif makers here! They put their time and energy into make these gifs for us to share.

Thank you so much, gif makers!

Olivia Benson x Sonny Carisi ~One More Day

A little Benisi drabble for @hennwilson and anyone else Words: 366

Liv felt herself losing the battle against sleep. Light was shining through the blinds giving the room just enough light to be annoying. The weight of the arm around her waist gave her butterflies. She wanted nothing more than to snuggle into Sonny and just stay there for the whole day. She felt Sonny stir next to her, a groan escaping his body as he too began to wake up.

THIS IS SO SWEET I CAN’T
