How to deal with ps image hierarchy

Practical experience of PS processing in the later stage of digital photos

Treatment of overexposure:

There is no hierarchy in the photo. Formed a white face of Zhang greatly. We should try to restore its level.

How? The most commonly used methods are:

1. Copy a layer and correct the overlapping pattern. At this time, all the floors came out.

The fly in the ointment is that the eyebrows and eyes turn very black accordingly.

3. Add a mask, double-click the darkening tool "Little Hand", and specify "Highlight" and "Exposure" 100% in its settings. Just brush the eyebrow eye a few times, and the eyebrow eye that is too dark will be corrected immediately.

You try. It's simple.

Question: Why do we use small hands to repair the mask instead of a brush? )

Gao Fancha filter:

In fact, sharpening process is a process of controlling contrast, so one of the most effective sharpening methods is to apply layer+Gao Fancha hold filter. First, copy a layer, then use the Gao Fancha Preserve filter on the copied layer, and then adjust the overlay mode of the layer. For example, rich colors, you can use "strong light"; Sharpen it with "soft light"; For stronger effect, please use "Bright" mode.

Saturation:

Saturation (for pictures with too dark face, the saturation can be appropriately reduced to make the face look pink and tender)

Tone:

Tone (adjusting the tone through professional image software can make yellowish skin whiter, softer and more attractive)

Eyes:

Never blindly pursue the light. An interesting fact is that bright eyes are not caused by increasing brightness, on the contrary, they are caused by decreasing brightness. What you want to improve is the contrast.

Fair skin:

Saturation is essential, but it must be used with caution. White skin color is essentially a skin color with low saturation, but we can't forget that dead skin color is also a skin color with low saturation. Moreover, the saturation is too low, which easily leads to a flat screen; Sacrificing the level of the picture for "white" is a taboo in design.

Alt+ctrl+~ you can select the highlighted area.

Layer and contrast:

Add an empty gradient adjustment layer, make sure that the current tool is not painting, and press SHIFT+ALT+F to change the blending mode to soft light to enhance the contrast.

Warm portrait face:

Go to image->; "adjustment"->; "Choose the color" and find the absolute method "to maximize the Y value of magenta. The purpose of this step is to warm the color of the face.

Smooth and white

First, don't blindly pursue the so-called "fluency". Sacrificing the texture of the skin for smoothness is, in the eyes of experts, a pearl that has been bought and returned. Removing the beans and keeping the texture of the original image intact is the real top grade.

Second, don't blindly pursue the so-called "white". It is also unacceptable to sacrifice the level of the image for whiteness. The problem of whiteness is extremely diverse, and it can never be solved simply by improving brightness or adjusting hue. Why do you seldom see beautiful women in the photo contest but see many old people who have experienced many vicissitudes? The classic courses abroad often take blacks as models, because the faces of the old and blacks are easy to show richer levels.

Underexposure:

Select Image-Adjust-Levels. ...

You can see a window: this is the so-called histogram.

Pay attention to the middle part of the picture. The abscissa represents black to white from left to right, and the ordinate represents the number of pixels. As you can see from the picture, there is a paragraph on the right that is worthless, that is to say, the original picture is not white-usually, this means underexposure. Let's move the rightmost slider at the bottom of the chart until it touches the right end of the chart. That is to say, it turned out that the rightmost point (the brightest point) of the picture turned white, so that the brightness of the whole picture was improved.

Layers and Sharpening:

Let's talk about sharpening first, in other words, enhancing clarity. There may be many people who don't know why they switched to the lab mode (Brother Pen, don't hit me). If you use sharpening filter directly on RGB images, it may lead to color changes, holes or other problems, which is different from converting to CMYK mode. Switching to LAB mode will not damage or lose any color information. So the conversion from RGB to LAB is very safe. After switching to lab mode, click the brightness channel. This channel contains the brightness information of the image (while channels A and B contain the color information of the image), and sharpening it will not lead to any potential color change problems.

Softening:

Create a new layer

Select filter-> Fuzzy-> Gaussian blur, ambiguity parameter is set to 2.0.

Change the composition mode of the background copy layer to bright.

If you don't feel hazy enough, you can choose the image-> Adjustment-> Level, adjust to the effect you want.

Filter:

First sharpen the original image by 1-2 times, roughly adjust it with automatic color scale, create a new layer, and add colors with gradient tool: blue on top and green on the bottom.

Select this layer as the overlay. Finally, fine-tune as needed.

This is just one of many methods. In fact, the new color layer is like adding a color filter to the lens of a camera.
