How to create and post emotional style photos with melancholy poem

In fact, I do not film a lot of emotional film but do not want because of the rich color caused by the impact of the mood of the atmosphere, so the first want to turn the photo into a darkened, the color rich degree of reduction, more reflect the mood and posture of her sister.

In the original film, clothing + Environment + makeup, the whole gives a more gorgeous feeling.

Original film

But this group of photos whether it is the model of the posture or create the atmosphere are biased emotional wind.

　　Step1 ACR

In fact, most of the time to color my most important step is really not through the curve of the optional color and so on in the Layer palette (personal hobby just ha)

It is generally in ACR (or you use LR is also the same) will determine the tone of the photo.

Color Temperature hue:

These two adjustments are important for the tone, but the important premise is that the photographer himself has a clearer idea of what the final desired effect of the photograph should be. Usually we take pictures of the general white balance is used automatically, this step is the white balance of the photos of the correction is very important step.

The above image is adjusted by the ACR image tones, the important adjustment has several parts:

Color temperature: Because of their expected film is dark yellow, so add color temperature; tone words in general I adjust not too much, the naked eye is not too obvious bias can be.

Dark tune: Drop exposure of course is the simplest direct, but at the same time hope to be able to darken the dark, so cut down the shadow and black parts; because do not want to appear dead black (in fact, this picture is originally adjusted, later photos have found in accordance with this set the dark part of the dead black, especially the hair details are almost gone, So the other photos of my shadow and black and back to some; if by lowering the shadow or black led to the dead black, in this case can use the adjustment brush in ACR to lower the dark part, you can also use the lens correction-> lens halo In accordance with the method of adding dark angle to depress the dark part; This particular case is specifically analyzed, The reason to understand the extrapolate on the line is always to reduce the contrast is also to prevent the emergence of dead black.

It doesn't matter what clarity is, everyone is free.

The next level of saturation is also a very important step. Reduce the richness of color, the lighter the color the better, the less the better.

ACR basically makes the above adjustment, in short the tool is serves for the person, the important is the photographer oneself wants what tone and the feeling, through these ways realizes.

　　STEP2 adjustment Layer--optional color

In this case, recently I used to color before the skin, personal addiction, do not care about these details. Grind the skin words, commonly used is the plug-in portraiture, said many times.

On the skin also said two, in fact, this group of works model skin is very good, so there are small partners will say that looks like no need to grind the same.

There are a lot of small partners for the skin this thing a little misunderstanding, in short my principle is 1, skin details to be in; 2, skin color to normal. Many people have problems with the skin, turn around and ask me why I always wear the skin is not good, or inflatable dolls, or the color of yellow or green, always look strange. In fact portraiture this plug-in is not only used to rub the skin smooth, in fact, it has several important functions.

In the enhancements section, there are three adjustments I often use: warm tones/hue/brightness.

Brightness I will not say more, the skin becomes white and bright, easy to understand is very commonly used.

Warm tone is the warmth of the skin, in short, the color concentration of the skin, such as the warm tones of the skin will be more red or yellow, in short, color more thick.

Then there is a key point is the hue. The tonal adjustment is often critical, depending on whether you want the skin to be yellow or partial magenta.

Magenta ← hue → Yellow to left magenta, to right yellow.

In my imagination, there is a pair of ... Oh no, in my imagination, normal healthy faces are mostly white-red, so in general tones I will adjust a little bit to magenta.

Of course, specific problems specific analysis, your ambient light is not the same, skin color itself is not the same, there will be differences in regulation. But same, these three adjustments are crucial.

Okay, come back. Let's adjust the layer.

In fact, many times is not to adjust the layer as much as possible, the key is by adjusting the layer can achieve the effect is not in line with your expectations.

I used two adjustment layers for this picture, all with an optional color.

The reason is still the same as I originally said, want to reduce the richness and level of color, I hope the photos appear dark tone.

So the first adjustment layer is to adjust the green.

Speaking of the optional color, we are very good understanding, adjust the green that can be selected color green Bai. So here's another experience.

Is that most of the need to adjust the green hue to color, the light of the choice of green colors is often not enough. All my photos, as long as the optional color green, will be followed by yellow. (Theoretical explanation????)

As for the above adjustment of the data, we do not have to be too serious, frankly speaking are tried out. On the one hand you know how each tab to the left and right side of the difference will appear what effect (don't know also no problem, try Bai), on the one hand, according to adjust the effect of fine-tuning, generally can achieve your expectations.

But I turn green or a lot, you can try to adjust their own, I have time to sum up a experience posted well.

This adjustment layer is only green, easy to distinguish and then fine-tune.

The second adjustment layer, adjust the overall tone. In general, it is to adjust the color of the black (dark) white (high light) gray (neutral color) three colors.

As the tone of this picture has been darkened, the main black (darkened) part.

Then be sure to remember that the choice of color black when the start to light, fine tuning will generally have effect.

(In fact, the truth is very simple, which part (dark neutral color high light) occupy the most of the screen, adjust the selection of the part of the color to change the overall tone will be relatively large)

In short, the main purpose of the above adjustment is to add some blue to the dark part. This is not the most important, it is a personal preference for details.

Finally, the liquefaction (does not appear to be too liquid) to sharpen the preservation of the line.
