What are the techniques of photographic restoration?

The most important thing in retouching is beauty. Many people start to adjust pictures according to the patterns taught by teachers or the tutorials in their heads as soon as they get started. In fact, they didn't calm down and think about what they thought at the moment of shooting. Why did you press the shutter? What do you want to express or record? You have a perfect picture in your mind, which has a story. In this state, it is too late for you to use the software again.

Of course, post-processing is essential, which can make up for the shortcomings of our previous shooting and make the works icing on the cake in formal beauty. Depends on what kind of emotion you want to express. If it is autumn, you can add some yellow elements to make the whole picture look more autumn. For people with short legs, the length can be stretched properly when retouching, which will not affect the overall picture proportion and make the picture look more beautiful. Appropriately increase the saturation of the picture to make it look more full and beautiful.

Usually, our later thinking is through these parts: basic correction-light and shade adjustment-color adjustment-local adjustment-sharpening output.

1, the basic correction is generally to make up for some shortcomings in the early stage, such as perspective correction, deletion of chromatic aberration, or one-time cutting.

2. Light and shade adjustment is also a very basic post-adjustment. The key point is to brighten the shadow part of the picture and make some comprehensive adjustments.

3, color adjustment is a core of the photo can shine, determine the color contrast and ideas you want.

4. Local adjustment is to specifically determine where to brighten, where to darken, where to be clearer, and where to blur appropriately.

5. Finally sharpen and output.

Matters needing attention in later retouching

1, don't lose the theme content and style retouching;

2, you can't blindly retouch the map, there is no clear idea, and the place to deal with it will be dealt with;

3. Pay attention to the chromatic aberration of display tools, because different display tools will form corresponding chromatic aberration;

4. Don't over-decorate the picture, such as greatly increasing the color saturation or contrast;

5, save the source file, for example, you can use PS mask layer when toning, this method will not increase the file;

6. Save the files that are useful to you so that you can adjust them again.
