Because there was no medium-gray gradient mirror and polarizing mirror, in order to prevent the sky overexposed, according to the sky metering parameters to expose. Although the sky has not been exposed, but the contrast is not enough. The ground is too dark to be exposed.

The whole film is under the exposure. To solve this problem, it is best to separate the sky from the ground to make a tone adjustment.

Effect Chart:

Original:

The first step is to make the desired selections using the Channel

To make adjustments to the sky and the ground separately, you need to create an exact selection. Depending on the contrast between the sky and the ground tone in this image, it is convenient to consider using the channel to make the desired constituencies.

In the channel panel, select the blue channel with the most obvious tone contrast to make the blue copy channel. Press the CTRL+M key to open the curved panel. Create a control point on the curve according to the light and dark relationship between the sky and the ground

The two control points are moved up and down, increasing the contrast between the sky and the ground. The sky is dominated by white, and the ground is predominantly black. Press "OK" button to exit.

Hold down the CTRL key, click the current blue copy channel with your mouse, and load the selection of the channel to see the Ant line.

Click on the top of the channel panel composite channel, back to the composite channel, see the image restored color.

The second step is to adjust the sky and ground respectively

Back to the layers panel, the ant line is still there.

Create a level adjustment layer, because with the ant line, the created adjustment layer mask already has a restricted area of black and white.

In the color-level panel that pops up, you can see the sky's histogram pixels centered in the middle. The Black and White field slider is moved to the starting point of both ends of the histogram, noting that the cloud highlight part cannot be exposed.

Move the middle gray slip slightly to the right a little bit, the overall contrast of the sky is comfortable. Click the Close button to exit.

What do you shoot on the dam? Many people will say: There are vast grasslands, flocks of cattle and sheep, large birch, beautiful lake. In addition to that, I feel that it is the clouds and fog on the dam.

A good observation, experience, performance on the dam cloud and fog, will make your photographic works full of Reiki.

To adjust the tone of the ground again.

Hold down the CTRL key, click the mask of the current adjustment layer with the mouse, and see the Ant line. This constituency is still the sky, press the Ctrl+shift+i key, reverse the selection, now is the ground constituency.

Create a level adjustment layer and see the ground histogram centered on the left. Move the White field slider left to the starting point on the right side of the histogram, and move the middle gray slider slightly to the right a little bit,

The contrast on the ground is also comfortable. Click the Close button to exit.

The third step adjusts the hue

Now feel the color of the sky is basically satisfied, but the ground color is too dim, need to improve the ground color saturation.

Holding down the CTRL key, click the Mask icon on the current adjustment layer with the mouse to reload the ground selection. See the Ant line, create a hue/saturation adjustment layer. On the hue/Saturation panel that pops up

Open the Edit Drop-down box and select the Yellow option. Move the saturation slider slightly to the right, the yellow saturation in the image increases, and the grass is bright.

Then turn on the Edit dropdown box to select the Green option, move the saturation slider slightly to the right a little, and slightly increase the saturation of the green.

Then open the Edit Drop-down box to select the full map option, the Saturation slider to the right to move a little bit, to improve the overall image of the whole color saturation. Pleased to press the "close" button to exit.

If the grass in the lower left corner of the image is too bright, it affects the body performance of the ground, select the brush in the toolbox, set the foreground color to black, with the appropriate brush diameter and hardness,

In the lower left corner of the appropriate smear modification, so that the color here no longer dazzling.

The contrast between the film adjustment is great, perhaps you do not like the adjusted tone. It doesn't matter, it's just a way and a thought, not a standard result,

Not the only procedure. Everyone can according to their own understanding of the film, the feelings of their own through adjustment, as complete as possible to express.

Final effect!

The clouds on the dam always seem to be imaginative.

The morning of the dam, it is not clear where is the cloud, where is the fog, the veil dancing, vastness, landscape hazy??

When the sun rises, although not in the mountains after the dazzling moment, but the sky clouds have told us: a new day is magnificent.

The trees on the dam, the clouds on the dam, they echoed, with their posture, to their array, composed of a picture that let us not take enough beautiful picture. The clouds on the dam are visible, the clouds on the dam are sentient,

They use their elegant dancing, in the grasslands of the heroic sway of the sun, with a large freehand brushwork to splash out the most beautiful picture. Sun and clouds like a pair of friends, they take the blue sky as the stage,

You come to me and you don't want to. However, it is this pair of contradictory conflict, burst out the most shocking moment. Cloud is very empty, also very real, no one can grasp it, really can make the mighty sun also bleak.

Record clouds, but also learn clouds, light also heavy, relaxation Youdao.

Clouds drift, wave among insects, when people in the afternoon lazy sunshine rest, white clouds still leisurely toward the horizon. Clouds will also be tired, they are lazily dispersed in space, so that the original clear sky

It became gray and everything was quiet.

In the sunset, a leisurely cloud light shu long sleeve, Farewell to The Sun, farewell to us, floated away??
