A tutorial on the later facial skin modification Techniques of Photoshop portrait photography

When you've just finished filming and started looking at the pictures for the first time with the models on the camera's display, the process is full of anticipation for both sides, and those good pictures will soon come to you.

There are also pictures that are thought to be "miss", but they are not going to be made public. With the beginning of the first appraisal, you are actually starting to deal with the photos.

Next, you will be able to make changes to the photos taken.

Depending on the situation-whether the photo is in raw format or in JPEG format, the starting point for your image processing pipeline is different. Because, for raw format files, you have to start from scratch,

Files in JPEG format have been processed in the camera.

Small tip:

The computer display will have a decisive effect on the quality of the image processing. Choose a thin film transistor, picture tube or notebook computer screen, which of course with the personal economic situation, taste and the quality of photos and other aspects of the requirements.

To achieve the desired color, brightness and contrast, you can adjust the display device accordingly-there are many kinds of hardware and software on the market to choose from.

RAW format and JPEG format

If you are shooting with the original file format-raw, the camera simply retains its color and brightness values for each individual image point (pixel). The camera does not adjust the color, sharpness,

It will not eliminate noise. But if the camera converts the original data directly to the JPEG format, which means that the camera has done this, then you won't have much need to modify the photos afterwards.

In addition, files in JPEG format are compressed, so they are much smaller than the raw format files. But compression-depending on different settings-can have a negative impact on the quality of the picture.

Photoshop's Raw Format converter (Camera Raw) has countless set options, such as this one that adjusts the contrast with a curved tool.

Raw format files have many benefits, such as shooting without the need to consider white balance, small exposure errors can be made up after the event. But files in raw format take up a lot of storage space,

And in any case you'll have to post-process the photos in this format.

However, for compatibility reasons, such as sharing a friend, uploading to the web, or getting a photo gallery to make the relevant production, you can only dump the photos into a compressed file in the final phase of the image processing,

Files in JPEG format, for example, have no choice.

Depending on the image processing software and camera mode, open the selected raw format file in a corresponding RAW format converter. There's already a lot of setup options: Color temperature, white balance, contrast, sharpness

And many more parameters can be modified under various menus. What you need to know is that the settings that are made here are automatically saved by the program and archived with the raw format files.

to the appropriate folder. Next, when you use the image processing software to open the picture, these settings can no longer be eliminated!

So you can only modify the white balance in the raw format converter and then make other reversible adjustments in the image processing software.

In RAW format, you can also make an impact on imaging after shooting, such as using white balance settings to achieve a certain effect.

Small tip:

In many camera personality settings, you can set the file format and the storage of the photos to the RAW format +jpeg format. But you have to take into account that it takes up more storage space,

and whether the write speed of your memory card will be able to keep up, especially if you are going to have 8 shots per second.

Modified

Cosmetic refers to the photo after the beautification or modification, because the reality is always a little less perfect, and the pursuit of perfection is human nature-who do not want to be more beautiful, even in the photos?

The so-called cosmetic modification is fundamentally not an independent cosmetic method, but a series of special forms of operation (to use a lot of cosmetic techniques).

For example, you can create a face without wrinkles, or you can remove the person or thing that you do not expect to appear in the photo. In this case, the boundaries between "real" and "false" are becoming blurred,

And this method can bring benefits to others, can also be used to bring harm to others.

Below you will see an example of the cosmetic modification of a picture.

No processed PHOTOS:

The following steps need to be done:

Eliminate wrinkles in the skin

Remove Dark Circles

Local sharpening of the eye

Refine skin

Archive Preparation Network release

Sharpening at the end of the period

Now you've seen a very important detail: sharpening the photo is always the last step in image processing because it adapts to the size of the output you're planning (mainly for the network).

First, open the picture in the image processing software. Here we think that the white balance has reached our expectations-either because the photo was shot well or because it was already in the raw format

The dialogue balance in the converter is modified.

Small tip:

Make a copy layer of the original image above the background layer. There are several image processing steps that directly change the image file, and the processed photos cannot be recovered. If you have a copy layer, if you accidentally "Miss",

can also be modified, and you can also better control the processing of a single part of the photo.

Step 1-Eliminate skin wrinkles

The Healing Brush tool is used to remove impurities and fine lines from the skin on the back of the background photo.

Start by modifying the "minor flaws" on the skin, such as the wrinkles that people care most about, but avoid making drastic changes to them. A middle-aged woman, of course, wants to look younger,

But if all her wrinkles and little lines were flattened, it would be completely untrue, and would even ruin a face's personality traits.

The effect modified by step 1:

Step 2-Remove dark circles

Use the White Brush tool and the lower opacity, which allows you to remove the faint dark circles.

The worn black rim of the eye can be obscured by elaborate and simple makeup, but sometimes it must be patched with a digital "pen". At the same time, you can also be like a makeup artist,

Use a "puff" to paint the darker parts of the picture until you reach the desired brightness. If you are dealing with another open layer as we suggested, then you can pass it after the

Controls the opacity of the layer so that the intensity of the highlighted area is adjusted precisely.

Some too dark eyes can be illuminated by the method just described. It's just that you have to be very careful, because if you treat your eyes too white, it will seem unnatural. The teeth have similar problems,

If it's too white, the teeth will look terrible under a "toothpaste grin".

Small tip:

When you use the clone stamp or the repair tool in Photoshop, you must determine the appropriate image area. In other words, you want to determine which part of the picture is being copied.

If you want to remove or weaken a deep wrinkle in a model's face now, simply change to a source area, because you create a bit of irregularity in the texture. This is more in line with the natural order than too regular textures. Step 3-Local sharpening of the eye

Before sharpening with a filter-sharpening-USM, select a finer area around the eye (such as using the Polygon Lasso tool), and then limit sharpness to the area you select.

Depending on the different ways you take a photo (a smaller sharp range or a globally sharp image), the photo will not be clear enough at every point. But for a successful portrait,

Eyes are of great importance, so make sure your eyes are sharp first. A moderately late sharpening of the selected site is a great help in demonstrating the wonderful effect of the model in gazing.

Step 4-Refine your skin
