PS production of beautiful natural scenery blockbuster: post-Sky Synthesis tutorial

The spectacular natural scenery is always shocking, and I can't help but want to capture it with camera one by one. But sometimes, the weather environment can not listen to people at the mercy of the ground environment is very beautiful, but the sky is not too level, so that the screen looks thin and weak.

This issue of small series to bring super Simple PS later Sky synthesis, so that you no longer worry about the weather, anywhere can create a perfect landscape works.

1. Comparison diagram and original slice analysis

Original piece Analysis: The original piece basic skill is very solid, the composition is stable, the horizon position control is very good. But unfortunately for the weather, there is no cloud in the sky and a lack of layers.

Solution: Through the synthesis of the sky to increase the level of the picture, to pay attention to the selection of the sky material can not and the original piece of the weather difference is too large, or rape of the lighting environment does not meet, will be very abrupt.

Effect diagram: Basically achieve the desired effect.

2. Adjust the position of the horizon

Although the horizon of the original film has been well controlled, it leaves a lot of visual space for the viewer, but given the prospect of a single brown-red land level, move a little further down the horizon.

Copy the layer and move the new layer down a little, as shown in the picture.

Note that if you move, there is a clear sense of rupture in the sky, you can gently wipe with the eraser, so that the edge of two layers of natural convergence.

3. Press the dark frame to adjust the middle

The whole picture of the color in the middle of a slightly gray, so the new curve adjustment layer, in the light of the adjustment on the basis of appropriate pressure in the dark, so that the picture of rape and the color level of the land more calm.

4. Drag into the sky material

Drag the selected sky material into the picture and put it in the right place. Note in the selection of materials, to choose and the original weather conditions similar to the picture, so as to make the picture of the light environment more unified.

5. Add Mask processing Edge

Add a mask to the sky layer, then use the gradient tool along the direction of the diagram, drag the bottom up, the sky layer gradually into the picture. Notice that when you drag in the mask, make sure the foreground color is black,

To pull out the gradient vanishing effect.

6. Adjust the color of the sky

The color of the sky is too dark, the screen is very depressing, new curve adjustment layer, as shown in the method of adjustment can be. Then apply the gradient tool again in the mask to cover the rape fields below.

The principle of moving the right square is to redefine the white point of the screen, so that the whole film's bright part more transparent.

The above is the method of sky synthesis, this method only applies to the horizon relatively flat screen, if the world is connected to the mountains, it is necessary to do more sophisticated edge processing, can not only pull a gradient,

Or can also be in the material sky and the original image layer overlay method to choose filter Color or overlay mode, details also according to the different pictures of their own grasp.

Tutorials can only provide a common way to cover all the environment, and more methods to try to get the best picture.
