Lighting Magic hand how to partially fill the light

Lighting Magic Hand 4 how to partially fill the light?

Let's go through an example together.

Open and select a photo (see figure below).

In the picture above, the background is blue sky, light enough, the sky exposed normal, but the pillars are very dark, can not see clearly. Photography is not a light, so the dark pillars can not be very good to show the beautiful pattern, that is, often said the lack of dark details, in the use of Shadow Magic hand post-processing can be used [digital fill light].

The method of operation is very simple: adjust the board [basic adjustment]→[Digital fill light], adjust the slider can (see the figure below)

"Shadow Magic Hand 4" provides three adjustable project parameters: [Range selection], [brightening brightness] and [strong retroactive], the position of the slider has a number for reference and memory.

1. First adjust [range selection]: Because the entire picture under the blue sky is still sufficient, we do not need to fully fill the photo, focus on the front pillars. adjust [range selection], slide the slider to the left of the slider (the range becomes smaller), this can be done only to the dark part of the light and not affect the bright part of the sky, if the slider to the right side, then the whole picture will fill the light, the sky and other bright parts will be white, this picture we do not want that. Sometimes, although the slider slides to close to 0, there is still a patch on the dark part.

2.[Brightness]: After determining the range, you can directly and effectively improve the brightness of the dark part. Generally this parameter set below 80 is more appropriate, if too high, some photos may be affected by contrast.

3.[Strong retroactive]: if the photos of the exposure is more serious, improve brightness, dark place or very dark, the effect is not obvious, then need to use this parameter. Increasing the value of this parameter can effectively increase the brightness of the dark part.

Carefully adjusted to achieve satisfaction. We look at the effect, you can press the [Contrast] button on the toolbar, the digital fill before and after the photos are displayed, please note: Two photos of the brightness and light of the details did not change, the change is only the dark part (see figure below).

After [fill light] processing, the pillars of the details are all displayed, the original cruise ship at the bottom of the darker place has also become brighter, but at the same time, the exposure of the sky is still just good, did not occur unnatural changes. And, the original bright contrast of the pillars is still maintained, not like a simple adjustment of brightness after the loss of light and shade contrast, this selective optimization effect is very obvious. If you are familiar with the histogram of color, the adjustment is easier to master.

Is this an easy operation? Do not have to touch the "layer" "color mode" and other very professional things and repeated duplicate copies of the map and other complex operations. Through a simple interface operation, you can achieve effective digital photo repair, and I want to make up where to fill.

Complement this function, is the light and shadow magic hand more unique a function, easy to use, and is worth a.

If you ask for a simpler operation, the Shadow Magic Hand will provide you with a choice that is [basic adjustment]→[one key to set]→[a button to fill light] buttons, we just press this button "shadow Magic Hand" will automatically fill the light for you, can also achieve the purpose of filling the light but this is not part of the light, the effect is very good.

The same treatment project provides two different ways for you to use. You can choose according to the needs and interests, which is also embodied in the other optimization projects of the magic Hand of Light and shadow, which is the intimate place of the software.

Summary: The above is all the content, as long as we can adjust the more than 10 times to their desired local lighting effect, the most important thing to deal with the picture is to have patience, or can also directly adopt potoshop layer to achieve, but small make up feel that more trouble.
