How about a provocative revision of the picture?

The IPhone has led a new trend in mobile photography with its excellent results, with a large number of photographers and professional photographers around the world keen to use this lightweight way to record and share their lives. Photography In general contains the early and late two processes, although some people disdain the late revision, but the latter is undoubtedly a part of photography inseparable. Mastering appropriate photographic skills and using appropriate late-stage tools can be a good complement to the level of photography.

The app Store has sprung up with a slew of photographic and image post-production applications, including Vsco, Snapseed, Enlight, which we have long known. Although such a large number of image later applications in some functional aspects of mutual similarity, but as mentioned in this part of the application has its own characteristics and skills.

Today, to introduce the provocative revision of this application to light volume, intuitive, comprehensive as a selling point. The provocative revision is a team developed by two Chinese students from the Department of Computer Science and Electronics engineering at Stanford University. also provides a web version of the provocative bear and the IOS version of the provocative image repair. At the same time, the provocative image of the new app Store on the shelves in the first list of outstanding apps.

　　Features Overview

First of all, let's take a look at the interface layout and functional profile of the application of the provocative image revision. The following illustration shows the toolbar at the top of the application interface.

Toolbar options I have already made a mark, at a glance. The filter option contains four categories of dozens of filters, one-click Color. Filter effect is good, to deal with simple color adjustment should be no problem. The history record contains every step of your operation and is easy to readjust at any time. The historical record of the provocative revision should be considered as a good thing to do in the historical recording function, exactly like Photoshop's history function. The following import, export, cut and so on must not say more.

The next radial and linear gradients may not be the same as you might think, and in many applications there are two of similar tools that are used to create radial or linear Gaussian blur effects. The two tools for provocative images are more advanced, where you can build a filter using a radial and linear gradient, and the filter's effect can be adjusted by the options on the right. In short, it is not only to achieve the fuzzy effect, but also to adjust other parameters (saturation, contrast, etc.).

The above two images (click to enlarge) can clearly see the toolbar and the options on both sides of the operation. The option at the end of the toolbar is an adjustment. Adjustment is to adjust the parameters of the photos, here contains the color, light effect, details, optics, HSL, curves, tones and other seven categories.

The adjustment tool is one of the most important parts of the application, and the adjustment tool of the provocative revision is very unique to some extent by the clearer scientific classification. The detailed classification of the adjustment tools is as follows.

Color: Color options include temperature, hue, natural saturation, and saturation.

Light effect: Includes exposure, contrast, brightness, highlight, white color, black levels, shadows, glare.

Details: Contains sharpness, sharpening, noise reduction, and fog removal.

Optics: Contains dark angle, noise point, lens. can be further adjusted.

HSL (Introduction): For hue, saturation, brightness three channels to adjust.

Curve (related article): RGB, red, green, blue curve.

Hue: High light, shadow, balance.

The provocative revision is explained and appended to each adjustment option (click to view larger image):

Finally, the menu at the bottom is shown in the following illustration. You can reset the Guide tutorial and view the terminology guide, and so on.

　Advanced, intuitive, comprehensive, light weight

The provocative revision is written in the app Store application brief:

Provocative image of the APP is an advanced, intuitive, comprehensive picture editing software.

So, is this app really what the developers are describing?

　Intuitive

In my opinion, the concise editing interface can be said to be very intuitive indeed. I believe this app is a good start for everyone. In particular, developers also add a lot of intimate guide pages that operate with virtually no obstacles.

　　Comprehensive

As for the overall, through the above for the tool part of the introduction, we can see that the application is more comprehensive. With so many tools to work with, I'm sure the theory should be able to meet the need for any repair on a mobile device.

Advanced

Finally speaking of advanced, advanced this argument has been the view of the beholder. Although I'm not quite sure what the developer thinks is the advanced application, it seems to me that the app is still a little far from my mind. However, it is worth mentioning that the application is really very lightweight, the total size is only 3.9MB. I was shocked at first, is this the advanced place? It is quite unusual to have such versatility and to control the volume to such a small size. Later, I found that it should be through the encapsulation of the web end of the pungent bear, and finally achieved the "rollout" goal.

　The inadequacy of the place

Having said so many advantages of the application, we also need to talk about the shortcomings of the provocative image repair.

Operation: Provocative operation of the map although intuitive, but the use of small screen equipment is almost maddening. I started to download to my own 5c experience and found that the interface design caused no easy operation at all. Fortunately, the IPad version was also supported to enable the test to be completed successfully. All, to remind you that the IPhone 6&plus and IPad may be the best option for using this app.

Effect and Stability: in the process of use, often feel the adjustment parameters after the image does not change (real-time). Finally, I found that the reason for the application itself, perhaps because the Web page encapsulation caused the use of the experience is not as good as expected. Officials say it is optimized for the IPhone 5s and above, and should have a better experience with those devices.

The beauty of color

The term "beauty of color" is taken from a late-stage palette of the provocative Bear team (free of charge). At the same time I took it as a summary of the evaluation of the title. I like the provocative bear, the team not only developed a good image repair products, but also is committed to sharing the knowledge of photography. When I was aware of the team members ' response to the question of how to improve the level of cell phone photography, I decided to share this application with you. In addition, the team also through the blog provocative Bear Park to share a lot about photography and later aspects of the article, after reading the benefit. I believe that because there is such a spirit, destined to this product will be more and more good.
