Practical skills of portrait post-restoration: a post-photography course

First of all, I want to say that the later period will always serve the earlier period. Therefore, if you want to do a good job in the later stage, then when you take pictures in the early stage, you should think about how to deal with it in the later stage, instead of thinking about how to deal with it after taking pictures. Therefore, when shooting, if you shoot with a purpose, it will be easier to deal with later;

Secondly, when we study late color matching, we should understand some knowledge and influencing factors of late color matching, and then mainly share this dry goods with you;

The tone of a photo mainly starts from three aspects: light, color and detail.

1. Underexposed

2. overexposure

3. Normal exposure.

We should understand the influence of overexposure, underexposure and normal exposure on the overall tone;

Overexposure: it means overexposure and too bright light; The photo is too bright, and there are no details in the white area.

Underexposure: this is underexposure, insufficient light, need to enter the light. (Too dark, no details)

Normal exposure: This situation is close to reality.

1. Contrast: It refers to measuring the different brightness levels between the brightest white and the darkest black in an image. The larger the difference range, the greater the contrast, the smaller the difference range and the smaller the contrast, which can easily display vivid and rich colors.

The influence of contrast on hue is mainly manifested in the bright degree. Generally speaking, the higher the contrast, the more gorgeous the picture, the more gorgeous the picture.

2. Saturation: refers to the purity of color, also called saturation or chromaticity, which is one of the "three attributes of color".

The influence of saturation on hue is mainly manifested in that the higher the saturation, the purer the color and the greater the sensory stimulation; On the other hand, the greater the saturation, the grayer the color, giving people the feeling that it is gray;

The following pictures are columns:

When the saturation increases, it will become ~ ~

When we reduce the saturation, it will become ~ ~ ~

3. Hue is the primary feature of color and the most accurate standard to distinguish different colors. Hue is the qualitative appearance of the presentation. For example, sunlight is decomposed into red, orange, yellow, green, dysprosium and purple through a prism.

Color has the most significant influence on hue, and different colors will bring different feelings to people. For example, red gives people a warm and uneasy feeling, and yellow gives people a warm feeling;

4. Color balance

Color balance: color balance can be regarded as a fine-tuning after the tone is fixed to improve the details of the tone.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) details

Finally, let me talk about the details. Details have little influence on tone, but sometimes they can make the finishing point, so we can't ignore them later.

Below I use a photo to demonstrate the following operation process:

First, when we get a picture, we must consider two questions:

1. What style can this photo be processed into?

2. What style should I treat him with?

original drawing

Let me show you the effect diagram after processing:

How to get the above renderings?

When we got this photo, we had determined our goal: French luxury style.

Next, we will start to repair the film around the target.

1, first consider the first factor, light.

Because the details of this original film can't be seen in the white place, it can be confirmed that this photo is overexposed;

Therefore, the first thing we have to do is light and shadow correction;

Supplement: Because it takes too long to use photshop, a simple and efficient post-software "Kebe retouching" is used here. Is a commercial professional software and productivity tool, only suitable for employees in the commercial portrait photography industry, which can improve efficiency, simplify operation and reduce retouching time. Not everyone needs it, and friends with plenty of time can use PS to complete the corresponding operation.

2. Consider the color again.

Here I directly chose the orange+water duck cyan tone.

Although it is getting closer to the French luxury effect, there are still some problems in the details, so here we use the target adjustment tool to change the tone of lavender (let the blue lavender turn purple)

Before the change

After the change

3. Add sky-particle light effect-superimposed color tone-add artistic subtitles;

Use Yun Tiankong, Particle Light, Overlay Tone and WordArt tools directly.

Finally, the effect can be obtained;

People always ask why Kebe is used to retouch pictures instead of photoshop, mainly because it is relatively simple to use and can be completed in one step, saving time and effort. Even in the face of the same type of photos, it can be processed in batches by saving formulas, and photoshop needs a lot of time and energy to use.
