Or just take photos? Summarize the idea of color modification

The purpose of the later period is to eliminate the defects of photos, restore the original appearance of photos as much as possible, and re-create photos as needed.

1. Decoration and color matching process

Post-processing:

Photo analysis: theme and emotion, existing problems.

Basic adjustment: exposure, contrast, color temperature, hue, saturation, highlight and shadow.

White area, black area.

Color matching: curve tool, graded color matching, color mixer, calibration tool.

Add effect:

Halo: Increase the atmosphere of the picture.

Granulation: increase the film sense of the picture

2. Selection of retouching software

Photoshop(PS): Powerful, you can do more than just take photos later. The function of built-in plug-in ACR is almost the same as that of LR, and the layer function makes color matching more flexible and convenient, but it is difficult to get started.

Lightroom(LR): A graphic tool software focusing on post-photography. Its simple and easy-to-use features make it very suitable for beginners in the later stage of photography.

CaptureOne: High-value software interface, unique online shooting and analysis algorithm, graphic tool software that commercial photographers like to use.

Snapseed: A professional mobile phone retouching and color matching software, suitable for novices who don't have a computer for the time being. It has most functions of LR and can be used without subscription.

3. Basic× curve tool

Basic: After photo analysis, judge whether to keep the details of highlights and shadows as needed, and choose the tone of the whole picture. Combined with histogram parameters, the basic processing of hue white balance and saturation is carried out in the basic plane.

Curve tool: There are four different curves, namely hue curve and red, green and blue curve. You can adjust the exposure and color of different areas by dragging curves.

4. Color Mixer× Grading

Color Mixer: It can change the hue saturation, lightness and other color properties of different colors in the photo screen. Mastering this tool requires familiarity with three attributes of color.

Color grading: Graded color matching function is similar to curve color matching, but it can color the highlight, middle and high shadow areas of photos more accurately and flexibly. The practical requirements of color grading tools are to have a certain understanding of basic color matching principles such as complementary color and contrast color.

5. Calibration × Effect

Calibration tool: the principle is to adjust the color of the picture by changing the relationship between the three channels of red, green and blue, which belongs to "changing the saturated color".

Effect: You need to choose whether to use it according to your own needs. Vignetting can increase the atmosphere of the picture, and particles can enhance the film sense of photos.
