Start from scratch, or copy the library containing the sample assets [ https://adobe.ly/3n2eZuO ] for a head start. Steps below.
Start your project:
1. Open Photoshop on your computer.
2. Open the Libraries panel.
3. Click Discover – Solarized Cinemagraph.
Apply Selective Color:
1. Add a Selective Color adjustment layer.
2. Select Whites from the Colors dropdown menu.
3. Use the sliders to enhance the highlights in the photo.
4. Repeat the steps 2 and 3 for other channels based on the colors in your image. Our adjustments to Blacks were Cyan: +100; Magenta +100; Yellow -100; Blacks -50.
*Tip: We adjusted Whites, Neutrals, and Blacks.
Whites (Cyan: +100; Magenta -100; Yellow -100; Black +100).
Neutrals (Cyan: +100; Magenta +100; Yellow -100; Black -50).
Blacks (Cyan: -100; Magenta +39; Yellow +100; Black 0).
Mask the Subject:
1. Select the adjustment and portrait layers, right-click, choose Convert to Smart Object.
2. Rename it Portrait 1.
3. Duplicate the portrait layer by right-clicking on it and name it Portrait 2.
4. Choose the Object Selection tool and click Select Subject to isolate the subject.
5. Add a layer mask to hide the background on the new layer.
Adjust Hue/Saturation:
1. Reduce the Opacity of the Portrait 2 layer to 50%.
2. Open the Hue/Saturation dialog box.
3. Select Reds from the dropdown menu and set the value to 45.
4. Duplicate Portrait 2 to create five portrait layers.
5. Set the Hue value of each duplicate in increments of 45 until you get to 180.
Create Animation:
1. Open the timeline window and click Create Frame Animation.
2. Make sure all layers are visible.
3. Change the frame timing to 0.1 seconds.
4. Click + in the timeline to create the second frame, and then hide Portrait 5.
5. Click + again for frame 3, hide Portrait 4.
6. Repeat step 5 until only Portrait 1 is visible.
*Tip: With each new frame you’ll turn off the topmost layer. You should end with a total of five frames and the fifth frame should only have the bottom layer on.
Loop Animation:
1. Press Alt (Windows) or Option (macOS) as you drag frame 4 to the end of the timeline to create a duplicate.
2. Repeat for frame 3, then frame 2.
*Tip: You should end with a total of eight frames and a looping animation. Press play to see the cinemagraph come to life.
Extend Animation:
1. Hold Shift as you select all 8 frames.
2. Hold Alt or Option and drag the frames to duplicate them.
3. Repeat until you have a total of 72 frames.
Export Video:
1. Choose File – Export – Render Video.
2. Set the frame rate to 24 fps to create a 3-second video
3. Click Render.
That’s it!
