What is the role of color temperature in photography?

Introduction A beautiful photographic work, its color must be moving and eye-catching, which is related to the control of color temperature. Different color temperatures produce different atmospheres. I share these contents with you, and make the photos more moving through the brightness and color temperature of colors.

Color temperature can control atmosphere, saturation and permeability;

1, controls the color atmosphere. Different color temperatures produce different atmospheres.

2. Control the saturation of the picture. Warm color temperature will increase the saturation of warm color and decrease the saturation of cool color; Cold color temperature can increase the saturation of cold color and decrease the saturation of warm color. For example, in the picture below, I raise the temperature of warm colors, and the clouds behind me become saturated. This is a very practical skill.

3. Control the transparency of the picture. It is related to the control of saturation. Proper color saturation and collocation can highlight the texture and details of the picture. For example, if you pull the color temperature of a photo to the color overflow, the details will definitely disappear, and there will be no details in this photo. Just like why the color temperature of the flash must be 5500k, because such a color temperature can best restore the most transparent and authentic skin.

The following example, deliberately find a photo with uneven color temperature, and learn how to control the color temperature to decorate a photo.

? Step 1: first open the acr.

Adjust the brightness option, retrieve the shadow details and highlight details, and pay attention to the sketch relationship and noise control of the whole picture.

Step 2: Adjust the color temperature.

Look at the places where the whole picture accounts for the most proportion, and restore the color temperature of those places first. Pay attention to saturation, overflow, hierarchy and other issues. Now the lantern area is restored and the color temperature balance is well controlled.

Step 3: Adjust the regional color temperature and exposure saturation with the gradient tool.

Use the gradient tool to adjust the color temperature of other areas, and simply adjust the exposure saturation of this area to make the picture unified. This kind of photo has been processed almost.

Step 4: Adjust optional colors with PS.

Open ps to select colors and other operations. The reason for adjusting the white option in the following figure is to add more saturated colors to the white part to match the warm color on the right.

Finally, add a dark corner effect to complete it.

In many works except portrait creation, it is strange to suggest not to use subjective colors too much. Color matching is not only beautiful but also reasonable, which makes people feel intimate and realistic. The best way is to control the color temperature, which can be controlled on both cameras and computers. The most important thing is to know it first. Whether it is scenery, humanities, portraits, wedding dresses, weddings, and businesses, this is crucial.

Color temperature plays an important role in making photos more moving.
