Five skills of PS portrait refinement

Five skills of ps portrait refinement Among the five skills used by PS portrait masters, few people pay attention to the third step, and the master is the one who completes the fifth step! In the last article, we shared with you some ideas about the overall revision of ps retouching, whether it is neutral gray retouching, high and low frequency skin, or photo tone shaping, which are general explanations of the main aspects of photos. But if you want to learn the retouching of later portraits, you must go deep into the details of the photos. When modifying people's photos, the five senses are the key descriptions. People's glasses, nose, mouth and hair are the key contents of fine-tuning in the later period. It is necessary to start with the local details of a person's face and understand the local structural relationship in order to have a good light and shadow performance in the later period of decoration. In fact, part of the portrait is the same as the whole decoration. Today, we will take a person's eyes as an example to analyze what knowledge points need attention. On the one hand, what we need to do is to repair some incongruous spot defects, some obvious acne or acne with ps repair brush tool or imitation stamp tool, which are the first steps we need to solve. In the process of decoration, there may be many bright spots of small white spots on the upper eyelid. At this time, we need to pay attention to the second aspect. These bright spots may be beautiful to see people shining in the light in reality, but from the photo, there are no details about these scattered white spots. There are too many white spots in the photo and need to be repaired, but not all the white highlights have been repaired. They are all relatively large and have a certain area. Thirdly, in the later portrait thinning process, you may find that a person's pupil sometimes has a beautiful highlight, and the shape of this highlight corresponds to the accessories of the equipment we use. What kind of highlights will flash molding produce? Some people like to flash around when shooting, and this highlight will have a round highlight. Some people will follow the principle of octagonal flash or various shapes of square soft boxes or radomes. He will have different shapes of highlights, and adding ps later may be fake. Try to choose the light type in the early stage, and the photos will be more realistic after repair. Fourth, we need to further modify our eyebrows and eyelashes. Why do girls often do some eyebrow trimming in their daily makeup? This is because there may be some hair around the eyebrows, which needs to be cleaned with ps later. If necessary, we also need to use ps brush tool to draw some eyelashes or eyebrows. The painted effect may not be so real, but we can put a fake effect in our eyebrows. After the ps portrait is completed in the later stage of photography, you should learn to start with the details. The master used these five steps to make a beautiful blockbuster. After the details have been renovated through the above description, we still have to return to the overall renovation. The next fifth operation is to do neutral gray processing on the photos, and if necessary, cooperate with high and low frequency stripping. The last step is to further describe the color tone according to the bone structure and shape the stereoscopic impression of the characters' eyes. This is what we did in the later stage of photography.
