Post-Ps portrait enhancement course?

1. Portrait skinning is a classic technique used by Photoshop in the commercial field. Whether it is advertising retouching, various books and magazines, printed matter design, e-commerce design, studio photography, etc. It is necessary to refine and peel the portrait. Different application scenarios of photos determine different retouching styles. Only the retouching skills of advertising professionals are introduced here.

2. What is the retouching of advertising characters? First of all, advertisement-level figure retouching is to extract the figure photos used in various advertisements and put them on various media platforms, including outdoor large light box advertisements, high-precision printing magazine media, and large-scale e-commerce platforms. This means that any detail of the photo will be greatly enlarged, and it is easy to find any defects anywhere.

In addition, in addition to carefully handling the flaws in the photos, we should try our best to keep the details of the characters, such as skin texture, pores and so on. To avoid the rough effect caused by the lack of details after the photo is enlarged, the purpose of the advertisement figure retouching is: meticulous, true and textured.

Hyperbolic grinding method

In order to achieve the advertising-level effect and keep the details as much as possible, we need a skinning method that does not destroy the skin texture, so among many skinning methods, hyperbolic skinning method is chosen here.

The main idea is divided into three steps:

Step 1: deal with skin details

Step 2: Deal with five senses.

Step 3: Overall adjustment

Handle skin details

1, dealing with skin details is the most important link in the whole hyperbola dermabrasion. The first step is to observe the model's skin, but there are many obvious acne around the nose, some uneven skin color in a few places, and some fine lines around the corner of the eye and forehead, which need to be dealt with.

2. Establish an observer.

Open the portrait file, create a new layer, fill it with black, and choose "color" as the layer mode to avoid color interfering with our observation.

3. Create a new layer, also filled with black, and choose "soft light" as the layer style to enhance the contrast between black and white and facilitate observation.

4. Create a new curve mask to further strengthen the picture contrast, so that acne and fine lines on the face can be clearly observed.

5. Name the new layer group "Observer" and drag the previous three layers into it.

In this way, the setting of "observer" is completed, and "observer" can better assist us to adjust hyperbola, thus achieving the effect of advertisement-level figure retouching.

Establish hyperbola

1. Create a hyperbola adjustment and create a new curve adjustment, named "Deepening", which is used to deepen the tone of the portrait.

2. Create a new adjustment layer again and name it "Fade" to lighten the portrait tone.

3. Next, enter the most time-consuming and critical detail repair stage. The basic idea is to use the observation layer to smear the color bit by bit in the hyperbola mask with the brush tool to achieve the effect of peeling. Of course, you can also use the stamp tool to grind the skin, which will be faster. Don't destroy the original skin texture of the character.

4. This is a very time-consuming link and the essence of hyperbola peeling. Of course, in the whole process, first of all, we should pay attention not to destroy the original texture of the portrait, and secondly, in order to pursue the real effect, we should not repair the mole on the portrait. After slow adjustment, the effect is as follows:

Adjust the skin

1. Adjust the overall tone of the photo and the skin color of the model. First, establish a curve to adjust the overall tone.

2. Fill a skin color layer and select "Color Overlay" to quickly unify the colors with uneven facial details. Then use the brush tool layer to adjust the mask and erase the hair, lips and other parts. After the completion, the skin details are basically processed.

3. The following treatment of entering the five senses also uses the stamp tool and hyperbola to deal with the fine lines at the corners of the mouth and the edges of the eyes, but it should be noted that large wrinkles should be handled with caution, because any large wrinkles will affect the micro-expression of the model.

4. Adjusting the bags under the eyes After wrinkle removal, I found that the bags under the eyes of the model are very heavy and need to be adjusted. First of all, through the curve template, the color of the eye bags is lightened, then the mask is smeared with the brush tool to select the color range, and finally the color of the eye bags is adjusted.

5, adjust the eyeball

Select the range of eyes, remove some impurities with the stamp tool, and the whole will be brightened. Note: generally, the red bloodshot that is easy to appear in white eyes must be repaired.

In this way, the details of the eyes are processed and the overall effect is seen.

6. Overall adjustment

At this point, the most bitter part of this tutorial is basically completed. Now, let's enter the stage of overall adjustment, which is also a very important and effective part.

Select the character layer and do USM sharpening.

Adjustment value: quantity 500%, radius 1.0 pixels.

After sharpening, there will be obvious texture on the skin, and of course some defects that have not been completely repaired before will also be exposed. At this time, we need to use the Portraiture plug-in to help us complete the overall peeling effect.

7. Portrait painting is a frequently used peeling software. In fact, it can be used to solve most peeling problems that are not very demanding. If the installation is complete, select Imagenomin-portrait under the filter menu.

The adjustment values are as follows. Of course, it can also be adjusted according to the specific portrait effect.
