How do I pull a picture out of VCDs tones?

Let's take a look at a photo:

(Pictures from "Those years" stills)

In fact, this is another faction in the Japanese system.

Let's look at the histogram first:

As you can see, the left and the right end of the histogram are missing.

The left end is missing, which shows that there is no pure black pixels, the rightmost missing, indicating no white pixels, so the overall look quiet and peaceful.

Let's look at the first group first.

The imitation of this yellow color, in fact, is very simple, directly down the blue channel can be.

Next we imitate the glow on the clothes.

First we use the threshold to make the picture black and white.

The degree of separation from the face and background is preferred.

Then we use the channel to turn the white part of the screen into a selection and create a new layer.

Change the separated layer to filter color, then Gaussian blur, pay attention to adjust the opacity of the layer, so you can add a glow to the high light portion of the screen:

Then pull a curve like this:

You can achieve this effect:

Second group

Let's look at the structure chart first:

What does that mean?

We first copy the layer, then create a new layer, fill the color R136 G130 B104, blending mode to soft light

Then create a new layer, fill the color R69 G80 B64, and change the blending mode to color filter

Attention! This is the superposition of the blending mode!

The effect of the soft light layer is to render the main color of the screen

The role of the filter layer is to add a layer of light green to the screen (you can change this layer to soft light to see the effect)

The original image is this:

After these two floors are generally the case:

And then we'll use a curve:

The function of this curve is mainly to squeeze the exposure of the screen into the middle, so that the picture is peaceful and quiet.

This method basically applies to all of this type of late!
