To pull the HDR effect out of Photoshop

For photography enthusiasts, HDR should be no stranger to me, and even most people think that HDR is a cool effect, but also more popular. CS5 and later versions come with this filter (Image > Adjust > HDR tones). Use this filter to make a high clear, high contrast effect before you make an HDR effect, then polish it with a palette tool, and then add a darker angle to enhance the texture. Let's start sharing tutorials now!

Final effect

Original

After Photoshop opens the original artwork, use the HDR filter to process the picture. Then start to decorate the skin, select the "Stamp" tool, and change the mode to "brighten", which preserves the texture as much as possible. This photo is mainly decorated with the eyes of the characters and the corners of the mouth, then use "USM Sharpening", attention should not be too big.

Second, use the optional Color tool to adjust skin tone. The image of the red, yellow and white to adjust, such adjustments will make the character's skin change, make the picture feel more transparent.

Third, the use of "curve" tool on the dark part of the image processing, so that the tone of the picture more thick. Note that the beginning of the time do not have to press too dark, because the back can be adjusted slowly, to leave room.

Four, use the "curve" tool to adjust the blue channel, this will make the screen appropriate yellowing, because just use the HDR filter, the highlight area slightly exposed, so here to find some light details.

V. Use the hue/Saturation tool to adjust the hue and saturation of the whole image to make the overall color of the picture redder, and to reduce the saturation appropriately so that the picture will be engaging

Six, create a new curve adjustment layer, and the picture as a whole dark, and then use the "brush" tool, will be wiped out the characters, such operations can make the four corners of the screen darkened, adjusted after the characters feel more prominent.

Seven, the use of "brightness/contrast" tool adjustment, can make the color of the picture more strong, full-bodied, visual impact is also stronger.

Eight, to make the whole picture appear full, there must be some color contrast, such as cold and warm, white and black. Here is the color of the clothing and the character's skin color to form a warm and cold contrast. After using the hue/saturation tool to reduce the saturation of the entire graph, you can restore the character's skin tone.

Nine, adjust to this step is basically completed, now the general color has been presented, then observe the picture, you can see the character face of the right side of some yellow, so to the right face for a separate palette, so that the left and right skin color is roughly the same. Here you can create a new curve adjustment layer, or use the quick mask to adjust it.

Ten, this is the final adjustment, such adjustment is to make the face more comfortable, more delicate color. Adjust the method or set up curve adjustment layer, first to the whole picture of the dark, and then in the blue channel adjustment of the most bright spot, that is, adjust yellow can.
