How to sharpen gifs in one go:

So basically when I used to make gifs it took a while sharpening gifs as the more layers and frames you had the more time was spent sharpening every frame with every layer however I came across another tutorial showing me how to do it in one go but here's my version working with a Bollywood avi:

1) Here's my gif, you have to click on to where the arrow is pointing at and then the highlighted "Select All Frames" needs to be clicked onto and you can see on mine all the frames have already been selected.



2) Next screenshot shows I have highlighted Layer 49.



3)Next step is to right click and click onto "Select Similar Layers"



4) Go onto "Filter" and then click onto "Convert for Smart Filters"



5) A pop will appear but you just click ok.



6) Then all you need to do is then sharpen your gif and add PSD aswell you don't add it during the process since it didn't work.




IF you are unsure how to sharpen gifs all you do is:



^^^you have to click that anyway but if you want to sharpen it even more "CTRL F" is the best away :-)

Select the brush you want to use and paste it in a new file. I'm using a heart-shaped brush.

Using a convinient tool, select your brush (i.e. select the outlines or whatever you call it). I've used the Magic wand.

The image that I'm using is this:

Copy the image you want to use and select Ctrl+Shift+V or as shown in the figure.

Consequently, this will be something what I get.

So I click on the arrow that is tool at the top of the Tools pane which is also called as Move Tool (V), and shift the image in the brush accordingly.

And this is my final result:

Okay not exactly this...the edges were supposed to better but I has earlier forgotton to save my final result so I had to cut it out from the tutorial pics and since I already was in a hurry, so it didn't really come out prefect. :D

You may want to try it with other brushes too. For instance, you can use a proper sized round brush that is already defined in PS and make a zig-zag pattern. I've seen some users doing that. It may be something like this:

Here I've used a round brush with master diameter=45 and hardness=50%

Using this, I get this result (I've refined the edges for a better look):

Hope it's helpful.
