Photoshop converts a photo into a black/white effect (text)-PS tutorial

Photoshop will process the photo into a black and white style. I would like to know a lot of new friends. I would like to share with you the detailed processing method below. if not, you can refer to the following. this tutorial is simple, I would like to explain it in detail and recommend it to you. I hope it will be helpful to new ps users!

In a misty early morning in Oregon, Wanli Xuanyuan is quiet and solemn in the cold winter, and the whole earth is full of mysteries at this moment. The birch trees stand quietly in the interweaving of the morning sun and smog, as if time had solidified. Only the branches of birch trees produce dry squashing sound in the wind, such as an empty sound from the old dial. Under this frost day, I stood in a hazy light, and the birch tree appeared as if an invitation to enter the door of a different space, half open and half open, tempting me.

Observe the original picture and you will find that the brightness of the shooting scene is determined by the specific climate of the snow and the cloudy day. This morning, the brightness of the ground and the sky is a typical brightness distribution of high-profile photography. Although some areas are messy and lack the overall style, it is not difficult to solve these problems in LR.

Post-process:

LR presets provide a very fast solution for our style. first, I select an image for processing, then copy the processing method, and grant the remaining three images, this is the most convenient way to maintain the style. Based on the image features, I will adjust the brightness of the ground and the sky. the main tools used are:

1. crop the image, retain only the valuable part, consciously make a choice, and flow out more blank parts.

2. offset the white balance to the cold tone, so that the brightness of the screen can be even improved. Adjust the exposure to greatly increase the overall brightness of the screen, thus eliminating unnecessary details and stains.

3. for the ground and the sky, I use two gradient filters to increase the brightness of the ground and the sky from bottom to top to bottom. In different images, the direction of the gradient filter also needs to be adjusted. its main function is to increase the brightness or exposure.

4. reduce the color saturation or brightness to a level without obvious color interference.

5. there are some branches and grass details on the screen. by adjusting the definition, you can achieve a balance between the brightness of the screen. In general, even in the fog, the details of the near area are vaguely identifiable, while those in the distance are vague.

6. not every photo can use presets perfectly. Therefore, you need to fine-tune the settings based on the composition, details, and exposures of each photo.

Processed images:

Fortunately, all the original films taken at this time have similar light characteristics and can form a complete series. high-profile scenery is the most appropriate style. In the early shooting, you only need to pay attention to controlling the highlight part within the safe range. Although the four photos are different in different scenes, their basic tonality is high-profile, thus forming a unified expression style. The highlight part of the screen is mainly from the background, which accounts for a relatively high proportion. the highlight part has no obvious details, and the contrast between the hidden part is mild, which constitutes a typical high-profile photography.
