Lecture hall 19 of mobile phone photography: using processing tools skillfully

IT 168 evaluation I believe all your friends have heard of Photoshop. As one of the three major witchcraft in Asia, PS(Photoshop) has always been one of the necessary tools for photographers. However, with the rise of mobile phone photography, the demand of users to use mobile devices to process pictures is increasing day by day, and the support of traditional productivity tools (PS) for mobile devices is not particularly friendly. There are already many third-party retouching applications when it is hot. In the last photography lecture hall, we also shared VSCOcam's app with friends to take photos in Japanese style. In this issue of mobile phone photography lecture hall, we will talk about how to use the photo editing function of mobile phone to make photos more stylish.

The mobile phone used this time is the recently released Nubian Z 1 1miniS (referred to as Nubian miniS). Equipped with a 2300-pixel camera and Sony IMX 3/KOOC-0/8 sensor, the aperture f 2.0 CMOS area reaches/KOOC-0//2.6 inches, and the unit pixel size is/KOOC-0/μ m, which has a brand-new phase. As Sony's new generation of high-pixel sensor, with Nubian's optimization in the field of photography, the actual imaging ability is remarkable. In addition to hardware, Nubia, which mainly takes photos, also integrates relatively comprehensive photo editing tools on the market at present, which is also an important reason why Nubian miniS was selected for this photography lecture hall.

▲ Interface design

As an cinematic P-dog who haunts various forums all the year round, Bian Xiao feels uncomfortable every time he doesn't take pictures. With the explosion of mobile phone software, mobile phone processing pictures is my favorite. Usually, Bian Xiao uses various third-party apps to complete image processing, but recently the editor-in-chief threw a Nubian miniS, and Bian Xiao experienced his own image editing software for the first time. Compared with some well-known P-diagram software, Nubian's own tools give Bian Xiao the impression that they are simple but professional and efficient.

Compared with other photo editing tools, Nubian's own photo editor is more inclined to Photoshop mobile version. Moreover, the interface design is more concise than the PS mobile version. Although it is not as rich in functions, it has key functions. Simply put, it is not as high as PS, but it is more real. Without further ado, Bian Xiao will share with you some tips for my daily use of mobile phone P-pictures:

Tips for improving photos: Make good use of adjustment tools to improve the overall impression of photos.

Due to the natural disadvantage of mobile phones (the sensor size is relatively small), there will be some minor problems in the photos taken by mobile phones that need to be adjusted. For example, we can crop pictures, re-compose, adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, etc. These parameters can be adjusted by the picture editing tool that comes with the mobile phone.

For example, in the comparison picture above, the colors of the original picture are relatively simple, and the performance between colors is too dull, and there is no obvious sense of hierarchy. After Bian Xiao adjusted the brightness and contrast of the picture properly, the friends found that there was no, and the layering of the whole photo was immediately reflected.

In this photo, Bian Xiao made a simple cut and appropriately improved the contrast of the photo to make the light and dark parts of the photo more distinct. At the same time, improve the color saturation and highlight the color at dusk. This adjustment scheme is also suitable for scenes that need to highlight color expression and clear light and dark parts.

In the aspect of night scene processing, in order to highlight the reflection of light, Bian Xiao adjusted the value of weak light to improve the brightness of reflection. The main part above reduces the value of highlights and makes the picture more pure.

Seeing this, friends can find that there is no need to adjust too many options, and remembering many parameters can improve the texture of the picture. Usually the options that need to be adjusted are nothing more than brightness, contrast and color saturation. As long as these three parameters are skillfully used, it is enough to upgrade the photo to a higher level.

Tips for improving photos: use filters flexibly and make multiple styles in one step.

Compared with the above exploration of parameters, the function of filters is believed to be familiar to friends. The line "Three points are destiny takes a hand, seven points depend on the filter" often appears in articles in our mobile phone photography lecture hall. This also shows from the side that the function of the filter is really powerful. A simple step can make our photos more fashionable and save the trouble of adjusting parameters.

▲ After filter processing.

In daily shooting, we usually don't use filters to take pictures directly, so the function of one-button filter is more important when dealing with pictures. For example, in the above picture, Bian Xiao wanted to create a solemn feeling, so he added a "retro" filter in the post-processing, and the whole picture immediately gave people a feeling of "this is a place with stories".

▲ Although I used macros, I still felt inadequate.

▲ When the filter is opened, summer is small and fresh.

Although this picture was shot in macro mode, the whole picture has no exciting feeling, so it is a very ordinary photo. After adding the filter, the picture of Weibo WeChat Chicken Soup for the Soul is both visual and artistic. The whole picture has a different style from the original.

▲ The original picture is relatively dull.

▲ The use of filters can make photos more eye-catching.

In addition to adding style to photos, filters can also make your photos more personalized (bi), such as editing the photos you took at the party a few days ago. If there is no filter, it is an ordinary dinner photo. After adding the filter, the intensity is instantly increased by countless times. I believe it can help you collect more praises.

Summary: Bian Xiao believes that processing pictures on mobile phones is nothing more than the above two points: the first point is the use of filters, which can make your photos more personalized; The second point is that the parameters mentioned in this paper are used more. It is particularly important to note that these parameters do not need special adjustment, only need to be adjusted more in the process of processing pictures, and it is OK to find the one that suits you. The above two points can basically meet all the needs if they are used alternately. After reading Bian Xiao's sharing, I wonder if my friends have understood it?
