Let's look at a picture first:
We create a new layer on top of this layer to fill the color:
R235 G242 B252
Then change the blending mode to multiply, and the opacity to 80, the effect is as shown:
Compare it to the original, and look at the upper left corner of the sky and the person's face.
OK, why does this picture give people a sense of serenity?
Because there is no stimulation.
Why is there no stimulation?
Because the brightest part of the screen is that the white is wiped off.
How did you erase that?
You can use a high light compression curve, or just a positive superposition method.
Why doesn't the histogram look out?
Because there are other things to follow
Let's take a look at the histogram:
It doesn't feel right, does it?
Again:
What did you find out?
The far right high light section has only blue channels!
What are the possible causes?
It is possible to use the high light compression curve for the RGB curve first, and then use the highlight stretch curve for the blue channel.
You can go and try:
Use this curve first:
And then use this curve:
The result is actually the same as the above positive superposition method.
And the shape of the final curve is exactly the same as the above.
This is one of the elements: the sky.
Factor two: The color of the tree.
Let's look at this optional color adjustment:
This combination is widely used. Left for adjustment before, in the middle for adjustment, the right side is the original image contrast
Factor three: The color of people
The first picture is characterized by:
The brightness of the face is higher than the environment.
What do you mean? In general, to achieve the same brightness of the face skin, the exposure of the environment should be greater, but the ambient light here does not show such characteristics.
So how does this work? Many methods, the core idea is zoning adjustment.
How to partition? You can use the face directly to make a selection, can be based on the brightness of the partition, depending on the color (skin color and the color of the environment is generally different) to partition and so on. However, in general, the need to manually partition the film, or is particularly important, or is too difficult, generally speaking, we will use Plug-ins to partition.
Here to recommend a plugin: portraiture. Its skin mask function is very comprehensive, can basically meet our zoning requirements:
As you can see, when we adjust the exposure to the face, the ambient light doesn't change much.
Therefore, the core element of this style is:
First, how to wipe out the pure white screen, creating a quiet atmosphere.
Second, how to erase white at the same time also add color (curve method or multiply the bottom method, recommend the latter, higher efficiency).
Third, how to adjust the color of the characters (zoning adjustment).
How to create color bias (classic color combination).
