How PS develop a correct process for adjusting photos

Many times we find that the photos taken back how to do the late are all by themselves, but in fact there is a complete set of late process. If you are not familiar with, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble, such as: Do you want to cut or color the picture first? To adjust clarity or stain? These steps, if not clear, will cause a lot of inconvenience to your later work, So we are here first to provide you with a complete idea to help you develop a suitable for their later process, so that when the actual processing of photos will be confident. http://3lian.com/edu/

　　Select photos to adjust (whichever is the raw file)

After the shooting, it is important to select a large number of pictures to classify and make basic adjustments. Full-process management of photos, not only need to prepare for the first time, but also in a timely manner after each shoot in time and events to classify the photo naming folder is very necessary. The interface shown below is the number of folders that we sorted by time after we imported the photos.

Here we use the Adobebridge CC software, when we import the photos into a fixed folder, it will be the format of the date to manage the photos, it seems very clear, but we recommend that this name should be changed to date and event, so as to facilitate the later quick lookup. Here we take a folder as an example to organize the photos, select the folder you want to rename, right-click-rename it (such as 2015-06-30-Chengdu line).

Renaming looks very simple, but in fact very learned, the "date + name" way to name is more practical. The first thing to do after each shoot is to organize and pick the photos, generally suggest that you start finishing within a week after the shooting, if more than a week's time is likely to forget the details of the shooting, it will never be sorted again. Develop good picture finishing habits will bring a great help to your photography, good at finishing is a kind of ability, so I also hope that readers can develop good habits. If you usually take more photos, it is recommended to prepare a single removable hard drive, so each photo taken is stored in a hard disk is more convenient. Also must remember the backup, I generally will be stored on their own computer, in addition to backup on the cloud, so also convenient to go out when looking at photos.

How to pick a photo? Generally there are the following points as a reference for the selection of photos.

1. The exposure is basically accurate, there is no obvious excessive exposure or lack of exposure;

2. Complete composition, no framing;

3. Focus clearly and accurately.

The accuracy of exposure is directly related to the later can be adjusted to build high-quality blockbusters, the exposure of a lot of details can not be recorded, excessive exposure will also lose a lot of detail, which will lead to a big discount on the final effect. Second, the composition is not complete is also a big bogey photography, many times because the composition is not complete, the photos look very strange. In the case of pixels so high today, in fact, as long as the early filming is complete, the latter can be cut from the photo of the desired part. Focusing errors are often the mistakes of the beginners, usually too dependent on autofocus, light is not very easy to focus on inaccurate. Another point is that the subject is not clear, the photo does not know what to express.

　　Make a global assessment of your photos

How do you make a comprehensive assessment of your photos? Mainly from the theme, attraction and simplicity of these three points to make a comprehensive assessment.

1. A good photo should have a theme.

The theme is the core of the photo, each photo should have a clear theme, whether it is scenery, portrait, or documentary, the subject clearly will not produce ambiguity;

2. A good photograph should have a subject that attracts attention.

The picture can have the wonderful attractive point, this is very important;

3. Good picture picture should be concise.

In addition to the content to be expressed, other should be omitted or is weakened, including the background of the virtual, color contrast.

A comprehensive assessment of the photos is actually to see if the photos have the necessary conditions for later, mainly from the picture of the size of the main film, whether two cutting composition, whether there are some can not repair the mishap, the degree of exposure adjustment, color accuracy, clarity and perspective of the adjustment and other aspects to judge.

In general, when you browse the photos, basically there will be a very intuitive feeling, that is, the picture feeling. First you have to check the whole picture to express the subject is clear, and then you can look at the basic shooting parameters; Again is the picture shown in 1:1 mode watch, check whether the definition meets the requirements. Usually in the original format, you see the photos will be more gray, because the photos are rich in detail, is the ideal picture. Photos may be stored in different formats when they are taken, and different formats are stored in a completely different size. It is generally recommended to use the camera's largest original format for filming, so there will be more room for modification.

When the selection of the following photos, we can start the real meaning of the later creation, this step although more cumbersome, but if we are shooting before the first think well, and then press the shutter, do know, will give later pick the film province a lot of things. In addition, after filming in time on the camera screen on the back, zoom in and watch the details of the screen, the obvious defective film deleted, this can also better improve efficiency.

　　Two times composition (cut, straighten)

Speaking of photographic composition, in fact, there are a lot of learning, but many photography beginners are not too concerned about composition, in fact, good composition is very important. A good composition may give you a lot of extra points, and a lot of times you'll be able to make a big difference in the picture because your composition is bad. Usually after the photo, the photographer will be cut and straighten and so on two times the composition of the operation.

1, use the cutting tool to carry out two times composition

Import the original photos into ACR, select the cutting tool for cutting, mainly remove the part of the excess impression screen, some obvious stains and defects of the direct cut off.

Click the triangle flag in the lower right corner of the crop tool with the mouse to open the internal option to see the normal, 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7, 9:16, custom, limited to the image-related options, can be set according to the actual situation, the general use of the mouse directly on the screen to drag an area, then the surrounding will appear control points, Through the control point of the precise adjustment to the complete composition, after cutting, press the ENTER key to determine the final cut effect.

If you cut the picture is not satisfied with the control+z can also be used to undo the combination of keys, and then cut it again.

2, using the straightening tool for two times composition

Straightening tools can quickly correct uneven photos, just to import the photos into the ACR Select the straightening tool in the photo should be horizontal objects to pull the line, automatically pull out the lines into horizontal, so that the entire picture balance. We choose the bottom of the house as the benchmark, pull out a crop tangent, and then press the Enter button screen is corrected, so the picture is much more comfortable. The right figure is trimmed straight after the effect.

There is also a shortcut is in the cutting interface press Control key, until the mouse arrow into a straight icon, you can quickly achieve straightening function. Straightening function is mainly to solve the problem of uneven level, building tilt and so on.

Finally, the results are also good. Cutting and straightening belong to the first step to do the work, but also very important work, if the cutting is not good may the final effect of this film will not be very good. We make two adjustments to the screen by straightening the tool, simple and straightforward.

　　Stain removal

Most of the time we take photos of the details there will be some flaws, may be the cause of the environment itself, it may be man-made reasons or camera causes some damage to the image of the stain. At this point you need to quickly fix or remove the stain to make the picture complete, and our main use of ACR is the stain removal tool.

Case 1

Step 1

Then we look at the left side of this picture, the screen appears in the garbage cans, bicycles and so is not really needed, so we have to remove it. The part of the picture that needs to be removed is mainly trash cans, bicycles and children riding bicycles.

Step 2

You can set the type to repair or clone when using the stain removal tool, the brush size is the scope of the control repair or imitation, and the opacity determines the degree of transparency of the repair or imitation part.

Here we use the stain brush tool, very simple only need to remove the stain on the screen, the software will automatically match a repair results, this result can be moved, more specific details to choose. In addition, automatic repair can solve most of the problems, for more details of the stain need manual operation, in detail adjustment, we suggest that the picture size in 100% mode to watch, so the operation more accurate.

Step 3

Smear the trash bin you want to remove, and appear in the red area on the right, when you release the mouse to automatically repair. It's obvious that there's a problem with automatic fixes, when you just need to adjust the green position and observe the red area effect.

Generally try to choose the surrounding area for repair, so the success rate is very high. If the repair effect is not very good, want to delete is very simple, just select the red point position press the DELETE key. This tool uses a high frequency.

Finally we see the effect is the final repair of good photos, the overall look is still good. Spot Repair experience: adventurousness, local must remember to put overhaul.
