Today this tutorial is particularly recommended, the author of the provocative bear science and technology to give a clear picture of the late Repair tool system, to help students fully understand the whole process of later revision, is no longer focused on a piecemeal technique, but the use of the entire system, so that later this matter become extremely easy.
Overall idea:
1, the use of color mixing mode to create the tone of the photo.
2, the use of color balance of different exposure areas to adjust to create color bias.
3, use the optional color to enhance the expressive force of the light.
4. Use sponge tools or HSL to adjust the saturation of the light.
5, sharpening.
6, dark angle.
Later is a very interesting thing, once you have mastered the system, you will find that many things are just extremely easy.
For example, if you want to adjust the color, what tools do you think of?
Perhaps the average person would think of alternative colors, hue/saturation, soft light blending mode, color blending mode, hue blending mode, color balance, curve tools, and so on.
However, the average person is such a number of fragmentary points, can not be integrated, so in the color of the time can not be arbitrary.
I have talked about these tools in the book, and mentioned the specific application of the situation, here, I would like to make a specific summary:
Divide by color:
Optional Color tool, hue/saturation tool.
The two tools are adjusted using the color itself as the basis for classification.
Optional color is generally used for fine-tuning, manufacturing color bias.
Hue/saturation tools are generally used to significantly adjust the color characteristics.
By Brightness score:
Color Balance tool.
The color balance tool is based on the high light, shadow and midtones, then adjusts separately.
For example, if you want to increase the cyan in the high light, then choose the high light-cyan.
Divided by subjective intention:
Soft light blending mode, color blending mode, hue blending mode.
These tools are based on the user's subjective definition of color changes in color traits.
Divided by color area:
Curve tool.
This tool does not accurately adjust color, but it can affect the general trend of color.
For example, the blue channel is bright, then can let the picture overall partial blue.
With the above such a general classification, you are in the color adjustment, the idea will be a lot clearer.
Am I going to change the overall color state, or is it for a color? or to change the color of an exposure range or to change the overall color trend of the picture?
specific to this picture.
First of all, it has a color tone, at the same time, shaded part of the purple, high light partial cyan, yellow more prominent.
Maybe you didn't feel it before.
But now, the keynote, the shadows, the high light, the yellow?
I think you should have a certain feeling, haha.
Let's take a look at the original artwork first:
The overall tone is very uniform, the overall neutral color, the saturation of the color is not high.
If the tone of the screen is very uniform, we imitate, the first thought should be: color blending mode.
Color Blending mode can eventually unify the colors under a color, but the lightness will change.
