How does the so-called photo post-production work?

1 Download the appropriate software:

Although there are many software to process photos, for photographers (personally), PS and LR are the most. Of course, there are a lot of software on mobile phones now, and it is also very interesting to deal with.

2 Have sufficient tool knowledge:

No matter what kind of software it is, I suggest you watch the video before using it. If you like reading, there are physical books that can teach this kind of software. You can watch the operation. Let's talk about this PS. You should at least find out what these tools are called and what they are for.

3 Take high-quality photos:

At the same time, I reiterate to you that in the later stage, it is mainly necessary to improve the photos (defective places). Your photos must be of high quality. The photo you took with your mobile phone asked me to show the effect of SLR camera later, which is a bit far-fetched.

4 learn to view the parameters of the picture:

In fact, the parameters of the picture can be seen in many places (not only in the processing software). After the camera is finished, you can also see the information directly in the camera. In addition, you can also see the properties of the image file.

5 adjust the appropriate exposure and color:

Parameters can give us a general idea of how to deal with this picture (for example, it is not bright enough, or there are too many colors, so we can adjust the direction). Taking PS as an example, I think color scale and color balance are very useful.

6 learn to use plug-ins:

If you are too troublesome, or there are too many photos, you can describe the effect you want first, and then search according to this effect in the morning. Maybe there is a plug-in that can handle this effect with one click and install it in your PS software.

7 according to the photo type to modify:

What do you mean by different photos? For example, one is the photo of the model you took, the photo of the model, you must help people whiten their skin, or liquefy it to make their bodies better, and the other is the photo of the product you took, so what you have to do is definitely another set of steps, and there must be differences.
