How to make the beautiful movie picture of snow with PS

"Lonely Snow" this group of films, has been a lot of friends of concern and like, a lot of friends ask me some of the late shooting problems, especially on this group of films later, the following, I mainly on this group of films later and share with you.

Many friends have not encountered such a problem: when holding their own films to try a lot of late tutorials, often feel nondescript, no tutorials in the immediate effect. This problem in the color palette is also particularly obvious, many times feel that their film color palette out of a strange, uncertain direction. This may be due to the early stage of the film quality is different, do not have the congenital conditions of this post-production; On the other hand, it may be because of this late stage and your entire atmosphere there is a certain conflict.

In fact, a good picture most need is a high-quality original film, and a high quality of the original film will often have a lot of later leeway, the industry often said that "this picture is very good foundation." Here, Xiao Bai suggested that beginners photography friends in the late learning must pay attention to the quality of the previous film, try to take a lot of tone rich, color hierarchy of photos, this kind of photo often only need to move one or two PS parameters will have a good visual effect, while in the process of learning later, Xiao Bai also suggested that beginners photography friends more attention to others later on some of the methods and ideas, think more about why so adjust, rather than to rote some late parameters.

Always want to make a group of snow, I prefer Jimmy's "left to go, right to go", want to take "left to go, right" that kind of story feeling. But with "left to go, right go" different, I would like to make snow fly, quiet aesthetic feeling, so in the framing, more selected is some slightly darker and pure background, so through the former post-production, to see the layers of clear, flying snowflakes.

Here's the point:

Selected a later relatively simple film, first of all, the original image and effect map:

Original:

Final Effect Diagram:

First, raw format data into the ACR software to adjust: Here is the main adjustment of color temperature, the original film color temperature is red, improve the contrast, while using high brightness and white color order two commands to reduce the high-brightness.

And then import PS:

The first step: the screen for film-like wide cut.

The second step: slightly liquefaction of the screen and other modifications. The extent of liquefaction and modification is small, but there are many places, including clothes, scarves, faces, eyebrows, eyes and so on, friends to see their own contrast, these small details are actually very important.

The third step: the use of brush to make snowflakes layer: make snowflakes I use the snow brush, brush online There are many kinds, we can try more. I made three layers of this snowflake, the first layer is generally added, the second layer is mainly to add a number of relatively large snowflakes, at the same time Blur with Gaussian blur, so that snowflakes virtual more severe; The third layer is the people's periphery complements some, each layer sets different transparency. In the process of adding snowflakes, in the brush painting snowflakes in the process to pay attention to the use of stroke preset, dynamic shape, scatter and other brush settings, which will be more convenient, and some brush with some settings, we recommend that you try different settings produce different effects. The effect of the plot to pay attention to the size of snowflakes, distribution changes, you can try several times, try to make it real.

Brush increases the effect of snowflakes:

Continue to increase in accordance with their preferences.

Fourth step: color balance and natural saturation tool to color

1, in the color balance, the main middle harmonic high light part of the green plus yellow, in the shadow part of a little red plus blue.

Here should be careful to use the mask to erase the characters face, so that the characters face will not be cold.

This kind of tonal processing basically gives the picture a slightly green tone, which is more obvious in other films with more environment. There are several reasons to choose this hue treatment, on the one hand, this color strengthens the color of Madou clothing, so that the overall tone of the film and clothing and the green of the platform echoes; On the other hand, the light green tone is generally considered to be a kind of aesthetic, youthful flavor of the tone, and the overall Of course, this also depends on the personal aesthetic preference.

2, in the natural saturation order to reduce saturation.

Most of the film tones to reduce saturation, the main contrast, where the reduction of natural saturation.

Fifth step: Adjust the tone with the curve. Mainly through the curved tool to enlarge the contrast of the picture, the pressure of the dark environment. Adjusted four times, but also in a step-by-step fine-tuning, until satisfied.

Sixth step: Add black box to the picture, match the word, complete the effect chart.

A group of high-quality portrait works, often behind this a large number of preparatory work, the subject of the determination of the idea of the model scene, the selection of clothing props, makeup and hairstyle of choice, these are essential, white more and more think that these are the soul of portrait photography, do not give the film to luck! Many novice friends may think portrait photography is very difficult, so many factors themselves from where to start? In fact, small white beginners also weak weak asked a master such a problem, "within your means, as far as possible to do every aspect of the best", this answer let small white to now still remember, Hope this answer can also give us a little inspiration.
