Here’s what you do. Take a picture, any picture with vibrant colors and make a gif that will play tricks on your eyes to make a colored image where there is none.
Step 1: Open up photoshop or Gimp (which is what this tutorial was written for), open your image, and draw a dot in the center.
Step 2: Make a duplicate of your image and convert it to Greyscale. Follow that by converting it to RGB again. It should now be a black/grey/white image.
Step 3: take the original image and invert the colors.
Step 4: go to the grey image and create a new layer.
Step 5: copy all of the inverted colored image and paste it on top of the layer you created on the grey image.
Step 6: You should now have 2 layers, the bottom a greyscaled image of the original and the top an inverted version of teh original.
Step 7: Now index your image as you always would with a .gif
Step 8: Save your image as <yourname>.gif and save the layers as an animation. Select one frame per layer and set the frame time to 10000 milliseconds or 10 seconds.
I take it that it is supposed to make the black and white image seem like it has color? All I get is a hint of green in the background. Is there some way to slow it down to give a longer stare time at the funky colored version? My eyes must be slow to train…
The beak turns a bright aqua turquoise as well as an inner line following the eye.
The background turns a marbled, mottled purple with dark green added into the mix at the bottom -
So yeah, I am not feeling the whole color vibe in this picture. I am supposed to stare at the dot, not move my eyes, and then when it changes see normal color? I notice some weirdness, but I don’t think the colors are even right when that happens (nothing is ever the right color, so thats my normal at least). When I go to look at colors, I have to stare at them to identify them. Since that throws the whole thing off, I can’t get it.
Fun fact: Want to know another thing that is not colorblind compliant? The chargers that FIRST provides in the KOP every year. :ahh: ohh fun times in the pit

To me it turns into an x-ray sort of look. The puffin looks like the x-ray against a film of color. It’s not like a painting or a coloring book, it looks like gels for lighting sort of. And it pops b-i-n-g from one to the other.
they’re coming to take me away oho oha ahee -
ok - I see reddish brownish beak and algae green background.
The idea is to stare at the funky colored one and then when the grayscale one pops in, your brain colors it with the opposite colors and you see a “normal” colored image of the puffin. This one just isn’t really working for me…
I think this is what I get, some green in the background and some hint of red on the beak. I still think if I could stare at the funky colored image longer, I’d see more color on the grayscale image.
