Do you know the importance of the aftercrop?

Why should we crop the photos? What are the benefits of planting? What is the principle of cutting and what problems should be paid attention to in operation?

Sometimes, the shooting time is fleeting: for example, the sun just rushed out of the horizon, revealing the first ray of sunshine; For example, sitting in a speeding car, a beautiful scene worth shooting suddenly passed by the window.

There are still many "fast shots, it is good to be able to shoot them." Who cares about framing and composition? " Later cutting provided an opportunity for us to readjust the composition.

For example, you took such a photo earlier.

When I took it home, I suddenly felt that I shouldn't put the horizon in the middle of the picture, thinking, "Would it be better if I put the horizon in the lower third of the picture according to the trichotomy?"

So, you can cut it out and reconstruct a picture according to your idea and the three-point method:

In addition, who told you that the three-point composition is not good, you can also try other compositions, such as edge composition:

There are many ways of composition. You can try more according to the actual situation of the photo. Wouldn't it be beautiful if the cut photos had a thoroughly remoulding effect?

2. Change the main expression effect

Portrait, the requirements for the background are quite high. The proportion of the main body, whether the background scenery is necessary, which scenery can be cut and which scenery can be preserved better should be paid attention to.

Sometimes, it is helpful to improve the quality of the whole picture to cut out the scenes in the background that are not helpful to the main body or have a low value and affect the city appearance.

In addition, increasing the screen proportion of the subject naturally highlights the subject more powerfully.

Isn't it much better after cutting the eyesore?

Of course, the bigger the proportion, the better.

In most cases, cropping can highlight a certain part of the picture, but sometimes more environmental elements and background information are displayed in the picture, which can make the picture more scene and story-telling.

This kind of situation is common in landscape photography, environmental portrait and documentary photography. Let's look at an example of "the proportion of subjects is not as small as that of subjects".

After reading the picture above, you will only think, "What is this beautiful woman doing there?" And when you see the picture below, you will know that this is actually an environmental portrait.

Change the picture style

The style of the picture is closely related to the picture. By adjusting the frame, you may find some picture experiences that you have never tried before and produce unexpected effects.

With the continuous improvement of camera image quality, the side effects of late cropping are getting smaller and smaller-at least not as in the low-resolution era, when the mosaic is full. ...

In addition to the above gameplay, there are many occasions when you need to cut the screen to a specific proportion. For example, the header of WeChat must be a screen ratio of 5:9 or 1: 1; Magazine covers must be vertical, and so on.

Late case renderings:

The specific application of the latter idea, the example effect diagram is as follows:

We can find that the photos taken by this camera are a little gray. First, we use the defogging tool to make the picture more transparent:

As you can see, the picture instantly becomes more transparent, but the shadow details of the picture are seriously lost. We increase the shadow value to show the details of the shadow part of the picture:

Then we increase the natural saturation to make the color of the picture more vivid:

Then, we create a new gradient filter, and then check the anti-transfer, focusing its influence on the lower part of the screen:

We find that the proportion of the water surface in the picture is a little too large. Let's cut it:

The final effect is as shown in the figure:

Finally, in the later stage of photography, there are many very important late thoughts, which guide our later steps and make our later works full of order. Today, I will introduce some of the most commonly used late thoughts to you, hoping to help you in the later process.
