Late color matching of photographic works

This design tutorial teaches you how to adjust the underexposed original film in the studio wedding photography to fresh and bright, without adding any material, suitable for beginners to color, using some simple color matching tools in Photoshop, which is simple and easy to use ~

Rendering (material):

1. Open our material picture, and the shortcut key is CTRL+O.

2. First of all, we can observe that the original film is yellow and dark, so the first step must be to brighten the tone. Develop a good habit, Ctrl+J copy one layer, which will not damage the original film, and also facilitate our later comparative observation. Because the overall dark tone is in the middle tone, here we use image-calculation to change all channels into gray, and check one of them to be reversed.

3. Find the channel panel, and we can see the Alpha 1 channel. Hold down the Ctrl key and click the thumbnail of the channel to get a selection. At this time, a warning box will appear, regardless of it, because the selection has been obtained. Then open the RGB channel and return to the layers panel.

4. Open and create a new adjustment or fill layer to find the curve and highlight the following figure. If one time is not enough, you can do the same operation again. We will only highlight the dark color of the middle tone.

5. At this time, we will find that the overall yellow tone is not what we want, so we need to open the color scale, choose blue, add blue equals to reduce yellow, and move the highlights appropriately to make the picture more transparent.

6. After this adjustment, the picture will inevitably lose some details, so we first use the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E to poke the layer and find the filter-Other-Gao Fancha to keep it.

7. The numerical value can be controlled within 3 pixels. After confirmation, change the layer blending mode to soft light.

8. Use the shortcut key Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E to poke the layer to get the layer 3, and then use the quick selection tool to select the human skin part. The ankle part of a man can be left unchecked, because that part is already ideal. Then right-click Feather, 5 pixels.

9. Turn on the tone adjustment, brighten the skin part of the character, pay attention to the adjustment bit by bit, and don't overexpose ~

10. In order to make the characters in the picture more transparent, we can also make a layer of color balance to make the picture yellow.

1 1. After the overall picture is adjusted, let's adjust the characters now. Hold down Ctrl, click on the mask of color level 2 to load the selection, and open the color level adjustment layer. This step is mainly to adjust the color of the character's arm. Because we only need to adjust the brightness of the arm, we need to use a black brush to find some areas in the mask except the arm, so don't overexpose it.

12.Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E Poke the layer, and properly do simple peeling and spot repair for human skin.

13. The last step is to properly enhance the contrast and enhance the layering, cover the layer, and use the shortcut key as shown above to change the layer blending mode to soft light, appropriately reduce the opacity, and release the film ~
