Web page Five simple PS steps to make your photos more beautiful _photoshop

This is a dream mm provides a film, without any processing, in addition to modify the size. It is obvious that this picture is relatively flat and not sharp.

Here's a few simple PS steps to make the changes.

My PS Working Environment: toolbar on the left, history and histogram on the right.

First, modify the dimensions. For the maximum size on the top of the thumbnail can be 1024 pixels, but I usually do not like to use so large, because Mowgli above the figure also has a limit: File size below 200KB. If the file size is large, the quality will be sacrificed under the same file size limit.

The second step is to fix the exposure. If there is a Nef/raw file should be in Nikoncapture or nikonview inside. Because I only have JPEG, so I can only use PS level tool. I don't like to use auto level because the auto level sometimes adjusts the primary colors separately, resulting in color changes. The simple adjustment step is to pull the ruler of the left (dark part) and right (light part) to the middle and skip over the empty part.

In addition, you can use the three straws, the left side of the screen is the most black position, or you think should be the most black position, the right point to take the brightest position, the middle straw point to take the whole picture in the middle of gray.

The third step to look at the subject matter, such as the theme can increase the amount of color saturation, because the online audience like saturated (but not necessarily true) color. But be careful with the characters, because the eyes are sensitive to changes in skin color, there is no need to turn a normal skin mm into a long time to work under the sun athletes.

Fourth step is the right amount of sharpening (USM). There are a total of three parameters, explained in detail in other PS posts. For the long side in the 800 to 1000 pictures, I like to use the amount of 75-150%, 0.7 diameter, and finally 0. Make this adjustment to use 100% full amplitude display, pay attention to the edge and dark details, if too high will increase the dark noise and cause the edge of the transition is not natural.

> If you like to add a frame or a signature to a movie, you should do it in the final stage. The save for Web output is then used. This feature ensures that the color space is automatically converted to sRGB, and there is a small function that automatically adjusts the JPEG compression ratio to ensure file size. I choose 200KB, let the software automatically choose Compression ratio.

> Finally, let's look at a simple, adjusted comparison of the slides. This is not a tune.

This is adjusted, is it better? The example of

portrait is one more grinding (neatimage) step , in addition in the USM sharpening is to be careful not to be too sharp and damage the skin texture. Advanced some to be able to use clone Stamp tool to erase some skin flaws, here is not introduced.
