Late color matching: From the original picture, the front and the whole picture of the characters are dull, the snow and shadows are blue, and the picture is gray, which is not transparent enough.

The tools needed are PS and LR. Import LR and adjust it according to the analysis of the original image.

The picture is gloomy, appropriately increase the exposure and contrast, and then add shadows to expose more details. Then adjust the black and white levels to make the picture look more comfortable.

Then adjust the RGB curve, which is a bit difficult for beginners to master, so practice to find the feeling.

Adjust HSL. Mainly to adjust the background environment color and character skin color. Reduce orange saturation and make skin whiter. Because the picture is brighter, the brightness of orange can be slightly improved or not mentioned.

Adjust the blue color to make it look clearer. Purple and magenta are mainly in the shadow of the characters' clothes. Adjust it slightly to make the picture look softer.

Then import PS and adjust the color of the picture by region.

Reduce the blue saturation, copy the layer, and increase the brightness appropriately. Draw a blue area except the sky with a white brush. Big enough for us to remove the blue area outside the sky.

Next, we will change the color of the sky. Here is a simple and rude method.

Then it is to adjust the color scale and render the middle tone to make the photo more snowy.

Then adjust the curve. The previous step turned the photo gray. You can draw a small curve to get rid of the gray, or you can improve the contrast slightly.
