(≧▽≦) Hi everyone! So, this has truly been a long time coming and after a lot of requests and me pushing this back continuously... It's finally here! I tried my best to be in depth about stuff, but hopefully it makes sense and isn't too rambly or anything! If there is anything that you want to ask me about this tutorial or giffing in general, please don't hesitate to ask! (And if I made any spelling, grammatical errors, something doesn't make sense, etc., please let me know, haha;;) SIDE NOTE: I am a Windows user, and therefore this is mainly based on my experiences using a Windows OS. I believe most of these instructions would work with a MAC OS as well, but if there are any discrepancies, this might be why.

╰(´︶`)╯ Hi, hi! Thank you so much for liking and asking about my album mockups! This is hopefully a quick tutorial and guide that makes sense on how I did everything. I tried not to over explain, but hopefully it makes sense. If you have any extra questions about what I did or if I didn't make sense please feel free to ask. Apologies in advacne for my terrible handwriting and if I didn't make sense, I wrote this really fast with no proof reading. Tutorial Cover So, initially I just created a document around 1000 x 1000 at 72 ppi. I just chose a colour that I felt would suit the member (in this case Changbin's which I made first) and then added a texture ontop of the background to give it a grainy feel. This gives it slightly more realistic feel! After, using the shape tools, I made a black rectangle and duplicated it. Whatever colour you want your album to be you should set the rectangle to that! To both of these, I added a drop shadow, and on the layer that's on the bottom, I set the fill to 0 since it isn't needed.

╰(´︶`)╯Oki!! Hi hello!! I’m here to give an easy, descriptive, picture filled gif tutorial!! It’s pretty long, but it’s because I included loads of pictures and versions of gifs so you know exactly where everything is and what the best options are! So I apologize for the length but I hope it helps! So I’m going to show you how to make gifs both with and without VapourSynth! If you don’t like VS/don't want to learn, you don’t need to use it BUT I really do recommend it because it does a LOT of the work for you! What you'll need: Photoshop (I use PS CC but it’s pretty much the same with older versions.) 4k video downloader (I recommend this one for youtube videos, as it allows you to download in 4k! If you want links for other sites, like VLive, Instagram, Twitter, just ask me!) Optional:
