I just looked up “scratch texture” on deviantart. I get all my stuff from there :)

I use Photoshop CS5 to make gifs.

Okay, I’m just going to explain the way I did it. Which is probably the hard way but it’s the only way that made sense to me. I made the gif like I usually do (file>import video frame to layers), then I resized the canvas. Now, on another document I made a graphic with just the four pictures for each person, then used the elliptical marquee tool at a 1 x1 fixed ratio and deleted the area. Then I switched the marquee tool back to the rectangular one and fixed the size so it only would get the one square for each person, then copied and pasted it onto the top of the gif. Basically the b&w picture on that is just a layer on top of the gif, not the gif itself. Essentially I used it in the same way as you would use a coloring or texture on a gif. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is haha. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. Like I said, this is probably not the “proper” way to do it, but it’s how I figured it out for myself :) 

It’s just a black and white grunge/scratch texture set to lighten. 

A PSD is a photoshop item’s raw format. Meaning, the layers (coloring, texture, etc). Usually a “PSD” refers to the coloring. Hence if you search for them on google or whatever, that’s what will most likely pop up.

Well, photos I get off random fan sites. PSD’s I make myself in photoshop. And textures I get off deviantart and just through google. It’s my best friend for sources.

Added a “graphics help” link on the sidebar so if you have any questions, check there first!

Otherwise I’m more than happy to help with stuff. I’m just horrible at explaining them!

I’m HORRIBLE at explaining things on photoshop, so bear with me please. For the shake/3D effect, I just copied the original Jennifer layer, desaturated it, then colorized it for the red, set it to lighten, and moved it, then erased some of the red over her face.  For the Peeta overlay. I took the picture (just the picture alone, not on the graphic), and put a red/dark-dark grey gradient map over it, then messed around with the levels so it didn’t look so one dimensional. Then set that to lighten over the Haymitch layer. Hope that helped!

It’s called skinny. I gave the link to someone who asked before so if you look through my as history you can find it.

Got it from here :)
