wow doing fake 90s anime effects is super easy once you know the steps to do all the layer trickery. feels nice to have learned that and how to do chromatic aberration effects which look kinda neat. I'm gonna try my best to not create a cognitohazard again however, only move your RGB layers a few pixels or else your eyes will be doomed.
I watched this video tutorial which I thought was concise, didn't waste my time and explained it all pretty well.
