What are the nine post-processing methods commonly used for portraits?

Lead: I like to shoot landscapes and portraits, because portraits are not easy to shoot, and I can't shoot the characteristics of people's demeanor. Can you use post-processing to upgrade the photos to a higher level? Here are 9 common post-processing methods of portrait, learn together.

The perspective of portrait processing can be cut into the following aspects:

Like breathing fresh air.

(written) in black and white

Direct hot rolling system

film

film

Special tone

summary

originality

local color

Basically, the above angles can save any fragment, don't you believe it? Let's have a look! (Of course, this does not mean that the photos listed below are all fragments, remember to remember!

1, Xiao Qingxin

Scope of application: three stars

Key points of picture application:

Precise exposure

It's better to have sunshine

It is better to have a large aperture.

Satisfying the first point can basically achieve this style, and satisfying the last two points is the best.

The following figure only meets the first point, but it can still produce results:

2, black and white

Scope of application: five stars

Having been in contact with photography for many years, I have to say that black and white is simply the god of waste films. If the palette is disturbed, it will be treated directly in black and white, not to mention sometimes it really adds some artistic flavor.

Remember, friends, if you are not sensitive to color, or sometimes you are not inspired by color matching, or the photos themselves are useless, please use black and white, one-click worry-free and efficient!

As for the black and white processing method, in the image-adjustment-black and white. This function is comprehensive, and each channel can be adjusted. If you don't know exactly how to adjust it, adjust it automatically, and the effect is not bad!

3、HDR

Scope of application: two stars

Key points:

One: wrinkles in the elderly are easy to produce results.

Two: large light ratio scene.

Portraits can also be HDR? Actually, it is.

Because the scope of application is not wide, I won't explain it.

Everyone read my article: Super Master Tutorial! How to simulate the later period of any photo? 》

Finally, you can basically understand the software introduction of HDR.

4. Movies

Scope of application: four stars.

How to stand out in the digital age? Film, the theme of the film era is shot with film, so the theoretical scope of application is five stars, but some characteristics of film determine its disadvantage compared with digital, so use four stars to bear it!

As for the handling method, I still recommend the plug-in that I pushed N times: Alien skin exposure 4.

Comparison chart:

5. Movies

Scope of application: four stars.

In principle, the scope of application of the film should also be five stars, but out of respect for photography (damn it, what is the reason? Well, I don't know why, so just give it four stars.

What I'm talking about here is just imitating the film effect, not the film effect, so don't criticize me for being unreasonable or unprofessional? - !

Generally speaking, the key points to create a sense of film are: adding black edges, adding black corners, improving contrast, adding words and creating color cast.

6. Special colors

Scope of application: five stars.

Speaking of this, I feel that I can't finish writing for days and nights, because it's really too deep. There are many ways for each sound. It's true that all roads lead to Rome. Some tones are very subtle and there are many technical details. I'm sorry I can't start. When I have the chance, I will begin to say the specific tone of my question.

Let's put some pictures below and feel the influence of color tone on the picture.

7. Outline

Scope of application: two stars.

Key points: Sunset, backlight

Silhouette photography should be known to everyone. In order to make the contrast between black and white more obvious, we usually add contrast later, and even use the method of matting to create a strong contrast.

I used a substitute here, but I suggest you use it with caution, because it is easy to expose the stuffing. Theoretically, every picture can be cut out by grafting, but it is technically difficult, so I gave two stars the scope of application.

Local details:

8. Creative photography

Scope of application: three stars.

Key points: harmony is light, and later ability is solid.

Creative photography is about creativity and unconstrained style. The requirements for the early and late stages are very high. If the foundation is not good in the early stage, even if the ability is good in the later stage, there is nothing you can do.

Important points in the early stage: take two photos at the same place, at the same angle and at the same time, one with people and the other without people. The reason why we emphasize so much is to ensure the unity of light.

Later emphasis: dig out the words in the one with words and put them in the one without words. Pay attention to the unity of hue and brightness.

Of course, there are many kinds of creative photography, and what I focus on here is this miniature man.

Let me show you some wonderful works:

9, local color

Scope of application: four stars.

Local colors play a very good role in emphasizing the subject, attracting attention and balancing the picture, just like a red umbrella that suddenly appears in foggy days, which can make the picture look dignified and vivid.

Late point: select-optional color.

Some people like to paint with masks, but the accuracy of masks cannot be guaranteed. Using optional colors can ensure the color accuracy well.

Well, this question is over. Let's go back to the first sentence. In fact, these methods have not made the fragments better. The quality of the early stage determines the upper limit of the later stage, so practice your composition!
