Portrait color matching course:

1, comparison diagram and original diagram analysis

Analysis of the original film: The original film has well expressed the light sense of the picture, and the model's charming and lazy feeling is also well interpreted, but the picture color is dull, which makes people feel sunny, clean and transparent after watching it.

Solution: Strengthen the sunshine feeling of the picture, and position the color tone in the purple tendency with feminine temperament.

2, adjust the color, let the light feel.

Create a new blank layer, and pull down the gradient from white to transparent, simulating the feeling that sunlight scatters lightly into the room.

Create a new blank layer, smear it with a white brush tool, erase the feeling of a ray of sunshine, reduce the transparency to 49%, and change the layer overlay mode to bright.

3. Fine-tuning of optional colors

Create new optional colors and adjust the red: cyan +6, magenta 0, yellow +20 and black-17. Then adjust the yellow: cyan +8, magenta -8, yellow -23, black -5.

4. partially illuminate the model's body

Create a new curve adjustment layer and brighten it as a whole. Then cover the rest of the picture on the mask, and only let the layer effect act on the model's face skin and body skin. This step is to make the model's skin whiter, brighter and sunnier. At this point, the basic tone of the whole picture has been adjusted almost, and some color adjustments will be made below.

5. Color balance lays the foundation.

The purpose of applying color balance in this step is to roughly determine the direction of a color and give the picture a general trend. I choose a little purple, which is more mysterious and charming. Color balance values: halftone, cyan +24, magenta +2, yellow+17. The picture effect is as shown in the figure, and there has been some tendency.

6, adjust the color scale more vivid

The color has been felt. But the picture is still a little gray, so the color scale is used to increase the contrast, making the picture brighter and more pleasing to the eye. Create a new color level adjustment layer, and pull the black field in the histogram to the place where there are pixels, and you can see the obvious changes in the picture.

7. Fine-tuning of color

Now we need to adjust the existing color perception more finely, create a new curve adjustment layer and adjust it in different channels, as shown in the figure. Then adjust the range of the mask to cover the position that you don't want to cover. Create a new adjustment curve again, focus on adjusting the green channel, the effect is as shown in the figure, and bring up the color you want! Then wipe it in the mask and separate the parts to reduce the transparency.
