For your Photoshop software users to detailed analysis of the synthesis of the night of the female Archers scene processing tutorial.
First look at the effect:
The steps are as follows:
1, processing background.
Dig out of the ground. Open the ground material, use the Quick selection tool to select the ground area, add the layer mask, pull the ground out, then move the ground down, to leave a larger area for the sky.
Join the sky. Put the sky material into the ground of the file, placed under the ground layer, with the free transform tool to enlarge it, at this time we will find the ground and the sky saturation is high, and disharmony, the ground also does not have a sense of volume.
Tune the color of the sky. Place the hue/saturation adjustment layer above the sky layer (full figure, hue: 0, Saturation:-69, Lightness:-18) to reduce the sky saturation and lightness.
The color of the ground, increase the volume of the ground feeling. Place the hue/saturation adjustment layer above the ground layer (whole figure, hue: 0, saturation: 42, lightness:-30) to reduce the saturation and lightness of the ground.
Place the curve adjustment layer above the ground layer to brighten the ground, then add a layer mask for the Curve channel layer, reverse, and wipe the ground by the light part with a white soft brush (opacity: 36%).
Re-composition. Because eventually we want the picture to be a vertical composition, so here we use the cropping tool to cut both ends of the screen.
Dragged into the moon. Open the Moon layer, drag the already-picked moon into the background, and use the automatic Transform tool to adjust to the appropriate size and move to the top of the sky. Here we can see the moon as a whole red (warm) point.
Adjust the color of the moon. Image-Adjustment-color balance (value: color level ( -26,0,15), midtones) (color balance shortcut: Ctrl+b) The moon will be Blue (cold) a little, better integration into the picture.
Place the characters. Open the character layer, drag the characters that have been pulled into the background, use the automatic Transform tool to adjust to the appropriate size, move to the top of the ground. Here we can see the overall warming of the characters, there is no shadow and the scene and the picture inconsistent unconformity.
Reduce the saturation of the characters. First, through hue/saturation (full figure, hue: 0, saturation: 31, Lightness: 0) (Hue/Saturation accelerator: ctrl+u) to reduce the overall saturation of the characters.
Strengthen the character of the relationship between the light and shade. Place the color level adjustment layer on the character layer (numeric: Histogram 0/0.75/223, gradient bar 0/179) will be the overall pressure of the characters, and then adjust the layer layer mask in the color level, with a black soft brush to cover the contour of the figure (in fact, the character contour part is not pressed dark).
The four corners of the black screen. Create a new solid-color adjustment layer on all layers, with a black color, layer opacity is 72%, and then the mask in the pure Color adjustment layer, with the "Black to transparent" radial gradient in the character area pull, so that the character part is not dark, and then use a black soft brush to the ground, the sky and other areas do not need to be pressed dark area erase.
Add a character projection. Create a projection for the character in the layer style, and then create a separate layer for the character layer, flip the character projection layer vertically, and use the automatic transform tool to drag the shadow a little longer, a little below.
Reduce the opacity of the shadow layer to 57%, with the eraser tool in the shadow of the ground light part of the fade, and then a new layer, with a black soft brush (flow: 28%) for shoes and the ground to add shadow, layer opacity of 73%.
Add texture layer dragged into the screen, enlarge to fill the screen, the layer mode to soft light, opacity of 48%, for the screen to increase texture, more retro feeling.
Adjust the overall color of the picture, light and shade. Create a new gradient adjustment layer above all layers, gradient color selection: #17124b-#fa8922 (a system default gradient), reduce opacity to 24%.
New color adjustment layer, adjust the color, specific parameters and changes as follows:
Sharpen the overall picture. The picture is stamped one layer (ctrl+alt+shift+e), sharpen it with high contrast, enhance the detail of the picture.
Well, the above information is small compiled to you photoshop this software users of the detailed synthesis of the scene of the female archers in the night of the course of the process of handling the whole content of the share, you see the users here are now very clear method of production, So now you go to the tutorial and try to synthesize it yourself.
