PS Late Beginners must see the 18 problems

The development of digital photography has been going on for several years now, and the course of post-processing for digital portrait photography has mushroomed. The current market on the sale of books on this is also a variety of, endless, let the reader dizzying, do not know exactly how late, to allow their own technology to improve. Photoshop professional lecturer Sister planet Teacher for everyone to clean up the later 18 common photography problems, hope can answer your heart for PS puzzle.

　　1. Beginning words

Learn PS, not overnight. Interest---is a good way to go to PS Master's road: If you are not interested in PS, just because the work needs and deliberately to learn, then you no matter which master of the tutorial, or go to which PS master door, you can only learn a little fur.

　2. Aesthetic basis

This is quite important. Many students come to study, some of them have been doing PS for many years, why has not progress? Some people start to complain that they are stupid, or complain that they do not have a good teacher to bring him progress? Most people spit the topic is the photo studio mechanical work, let oneself too numb. In fact, in the final analysis, is the Aesthetic Foundation is weak!

So how to improve their aesthetic? Or is there a teacher who teaches you aesthetic lessons?

In fact, everyone's aesthetic although different, but same. And art, is to teach you how to go to the aesthetic. It is very important for your PS to properly cram some fine arts Foundation.

　　3, color matching difficult to learn?

This is a lot of students often ask a sentence: as if someone asked you, beer good drink? Is the ice cream good? Different people, will come to different answers: color is difficult to learn or not, the most important thing is to see their grasp of the color and the ability to accept, etc.: because the color palette involved in light and shade, color, aesthetics, etc., it is not just a few tools to manipulate so simple. Many students on the PS tool proficiency, far beyond my speed, and even close my eyes can quickly pull out the appropriate tools: But this does not mean that your color technology is very powerful. Color is a huge knowledge, more than PS that a few tools and channels can be interpreted?

　　4. Can you learn PS without the basis of art?

Of course you can learn! Take me as an example, I have never studied the art of professional, even the most basic sketch, there is no formal system of training. Art is just a part of my hobby. In your spare time, take a little thought and simply get a sense of it. Of course, system professional learned to learn PS, and then to color, of course, better. Because the color palette is involved in the art foundation of Things. So don't make excuses to say that you do not have time to learn art, do not need you to learn, as long as willing, time can always squeeze out.

　5, the old person, still can learn PS?

Learn PS, there is no age limit, as long as you want to learn, there is no learning things. It's just that older friends are not as deep in their memory as their young ones. But also not as soon as the study finished forgot. You have never practiced PS until you have studied. Many of my students are Mas, but the vigor of learning is never lost to the young. The so-called happy. Learning some PS can actually add a bit of color and happiness to your life.

　　6, after learning PS, some technology is always not applied?

Any PS technology, has its corresponding function. Not to apply, but not to use.

One reason is: the work of the photographer can't impress you. This is very important. To cause you have no inspiration, no PS to go down the desire. Another reason: I still do not know how to analyze photos, or no analysis of the right. Once the analysis is wrong, your next steps and tools will continue to be wrong.

　　7, PS version of the higher, is not the function of the stronger?

Just beginners of the students, the PS version of the level and function, do not know much. But many people think that the higher the version, the more beautiful pictures can be. Or the higher the version, the more powerful the function inside. In fact, for the color palette and repair drawings, ps any version can be adjusted, but the lower version, the more efficient operation. Because some of the plug-ins are relatively few, so the operation is very fast.

Every time you upgrade a new version, it will bring some surprises, because each version upgrade will add some new features, or optimize some of the interface. Arguably is the higher the better, but some features you may not use, no matter how the software upgrades, the original function and the use of methods will not change. Personally, the best thing to use now is the CS3 version of the 10.0 version. However, some of the original files must also be used in the latest PS version to open. This should vary from person to person.

　8, learning the PS tutorial on the network useful?

Because many students in the beginner, suffer from no teacher guidance, or because of work reasons, temporarily please not so much time of leave to attend training courses. They can only learn through the Internet. The internet age has brought us great convenience. Many PS websites and photographic sites will publish some PS tutorials on a regular basis. Provide a learning platform for friends who are unable to participate in field studies due to special circumstances. But the PS tutorial on this platform is a variety of, a mixed bag, which let a lot of novice students, misguided. Because of the PS tutorial on the Web, there is no professional supervising and evaluating technology to check whether this tutorial is qualified or not. Everyone is on the internet. Wrong and right, better than bad, difficult to distinguish. The same tutorial, different sites, after forwarding has not been the same effect. Many parameters and fonts are riddled with bugs. Sometimes a word is not accurate, then the revised picture, it is completely different. So my suggestion, if is not any basis, suggest to go to the bookstore to buy professional PS technology books and videos to learn. For the PS base, can distinguish some PS technology excellent, you can refer to their ideas and methods, take its essence, to its dross.

　9, just began to learn PS, can imitate it?

Can be imitated, even I highly recommend imitation. Although you have just started to learn PS, at least you can tell what kind of work you like and what you do not like. Even though you can't say why you like it, or where the other person's work is good or bad. But you can use your intuition to practice the work that you think is good, as an object of imitation. In this way can be found in imitation of the law. After a certain stage, do not blindly to imitate. Because you have to break through yourself, you can not always repeat the footsteps of others. Imitation of the best teacher guidance, so you can know, you imitate the accuracy rate is how much? What else do you lack?

　　10, learn PS, still want to know some photography?

The answer is YES! Why do you say that? Because it is photography and the late is inseparable, especially in the digital age, almost every photographic work, will be more or less use later to enhance the aesthetic feeling of the work. Don't think the film age, there is no late. At that time the darkroom, plainly is late.

PS Some of the tools are better mastered, but the color of some of the methods and principles are more difficult. Light and Shadow, this is the most commonly used in photography, but also the most basic things. So some people say that photography is the art of light and shadow. Later color and repair drawings, but also to grasp the knowledge. Specifically, the color palette is also dimming and shadow. We know that PS, RGB mode is the mode of light, RGB is the three primary colors of PS, it is not the color of pigments, is the color of light. So the proper understanding of some photographic knowledge, for you to learn PS assisted very much.

　　11, portable computer can be used to color?

Strictly speaking, the current laptop, can not be used to color. Even the IPS panel's portable, there will be a corresponding difference. If you are not too strict with the color requirements, you can buy one for practice. Comparison of practical prices also flat display I recommend Asus and Dell. Note Only the IPS panel can be used for rendering. If you are well-off, you can buy the art and the apple.

　　12, how to get inspiration in PS?

Presumably this is a topic that many students often care about. In fact, this is not too difficult, as long as you take a little thought on it.

Do you like watching movies? In particular, some of the late effects of the production of more eye-pleasing blockbuster, it will be your source of inspiration. If you do not have time to see, you can go to the film forum to download their posters, regardless of the color or design, you are worth learning a power.

Do you like fashion magazines? The inside of the picture, whether it is photography, or color, will give you new energy, let your inspiration, again active. In the words of a great man, life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery.

13, just learn PS, from where to learn?

Most students do not have a solid foundation, and want to learn more advanced courses, which will lead to a very slow progress of the course, but also to the students themselves have a negative impact-----they will think that the more difficult to learn PS. Because the foundation for PS scholars is too important, some people even the most basic tools do not know how to use, want to learn creative synthesis and advanced color palette, always thought that advanced courses, will explain more in-depth and detailed. Fact Advanced courses are built on the basis of the primary, there is no good basis for the foundation, it is difficult to understand the truth.

Some people in the late photo studio work for many years, and even the channel is nothing to figure out. For the application of images, channel mixer, gradient mapping, etc., is even more ignorant.

such as these are within the scope of the foundation, at least to understand the functions of these tools and function, in order to better the PS Master of the road progress. So, beginner PS, lay a good foundation, is the urgent matter.

　　14. Is there a conflict between PS and photography?

Although PS development to now, also has a period of time, but compared with the photography, it is just beginning. The camera has gone through nearly 200 years of development since it was invented by the French in 1839. and computer, the scientific name computer, was born in 1946. Photoshop 1.0 was born in February 1990, less than 30 years ago. For some senior old photography predecessors, there will be many people, more or less excluding PS. In their view, photography is photography, is an independent art of light and light, no external components of the "mixed". PS is PS, it can only be a computer software. Once the photography is integrated into the PS, it can not be regarded as photography. Of course, these views stand in their position is right, after all, they do not have more time to understand PS, to delve into the magical functions of PS. I think with the continuous development and progress of science and technology, digital technology is constantly updated and reformed, digital camera is digital, it must be digital technology and art, combined with the advantages of the camera itself, to play a larger digital art, and this digital art, is simply a photographic technology is far from being achieved. And the human mind will change gradually with the development of the technology age. PS and photography, not only without any conflict. And it will complement each other. The perfect combination of the two will produce a more beautiful image.

　15, how to use good PS tool?

There are not many PS tools in common use, but each tool is its own unique method and skill. Levels and curves, can be used to color and enhance brightness/contrast, why the invention of the curve, and another color level? is one of these tools okay? Of course not. Since they can both exist at the same time, there must be some truth in their existence. Because many people do not understand their characteristics, so in the color palette, they will blindly use. When learning these tools, you have to find out what they have in common and differentiate them so that they can be used more quickly and accurately when rendering.

　16, how to distinguish PS works of good and bad?

The measurement of a person's PS work is qualified, to see whether the image of the high light is too violent, dark details can also be reflected in the middle of the excessive nature of the tone, the color and content of the image is coordinated, different scenes of clothing weather expression can do the corresponding adjustment. Like a person's work, perhaps just one look. But it takes a long time to analyze a person's work. Some people, because of their own horizons and aesthetic, has not reached the discovery of other people's works, so you like the work, not all qualified works.

　17, how can you shoot the works, p a better effect?

Now the digital SLR camera, are very popular, the threshold is also low, many people can consume. Pick up the camera, press the shutter, in the right circumstances, can make a good picture. But for a long time, always feel that their pictures are too common, no matter what to shoot, like in a souvenir photo of tourism. That means it's time for you to learn PS.

The first thing you need to think about is your own work.

For example, you want to shoot sweet type, just want to show the girl's shyness and pure, then in the PS post-production, the implementation of Lab mode, tune Excellent Order, to A and B channel, adjust, there will be unexpected harvest. Different methods of expression, in the post-processing, there will be a corresponding color. For example, the performance of sadness, you can use blue cyan and other cold tones, performance happy, you can use red yellow and other warm to match, of course, this is just a simple idea and analysis, specific operations, in the future tutorial will be detailed decomposition.

　18, what kind of person, will learn PS?

First of all, to correct their own mentality, open-minded consult, in order to obtain more knowledge. People who practice and think more often progress faster.
