To the users of Photoshop software for detailed analysis to share a picture of the autumn yellow tune village scenery photos.
The original film is as follows:
Autumn season, the year's most colorful season arrived. I think you have friends have already been gearing up, planning lines, want to the most beautiful autumn income of their own picture library. However, in our actual shooting, always encounter the weather is not ideal, the film hair gray, not enough transparent situation. Coupled with the camera itself to reduce the degree of color can not be visually stunning, these problems need us to solve in the later. Today, with a photograph taken in scenery last November for example, through a simple few steps to adjust, for the shadow friends to create a colorful autumn to provide some ideas and reference.
This photograph was taken on the hillside on the side of Wuyuan village, about 7:15 in the morning, and the sun just came out from the side of the mountain. The original slice is opened through ACR, and the parameters are at a glance (as shown in Figure 1). The shooting model Canon 5D III, aperture f/8.0, shutter 1/200, using the lens data is the tripod-supported small white Rabbit's 85mm focal segment.
Chengcun every morning in order to deal with the friends from all over the world, families have to smoke at the door (in the village to know the field, they are in the brazier in the middle of a local plant shell, in the case of insufficient burning, will produce smoke-filled scene, because it is man-made "fog", so we see the haze is similar. By observing the original film, it is not difficult to see that, in addition to slightly less exposure, the whole picture looks very opaque, hair gray. How to adjust it? My idea is to improve the original slice of the contrast pattern, including light and shade contrast, color contrast, the should have to restore the autumn. The next stage of the adjustment process.
First step, ACR simple adjustment
As shown in Figure 2, as shown in Figure 3, the main piece of the original film for 16:9 of the two composition, a slight reduction of some color mild tone, the appropriate increase in exposure, increased contrast, clarity and saturation, and the blue primary color saturation pull to the maximum (specific parameters such as above). In fact, there are a lot of things to continue to adjust in ACR, but today I use the more convenient Goole nik filter plug-ins to quickly achieve the goal, so we directly into the PS to adjust.
The second step, the PS adjustment
(1) in PS, we first copy the background layer, in the new layer, through the imitation Stamp tool, the screen interference in the removal of debris. As shown in Figure 3.
(2) After the disposal of sundries, we will call PS installed in the plug-in filter plug Google nik in the color Efex Pro 4 (as shown in Figure 4).
After opening the color Efex Pro 4 interface, we chose the "film Effect: Retro" filter tool to extract warm colors from the photos by adjusting saturation and moderation. Same parameter set, repeat two times. It is important to note that each time you use the filter to create a new layer, be sure to cooperate with the Mask tool, the screen you think is too blue parts to keep the same color, in order to more in line with the normal aesthetic (parameters as shown in Figure 5, layer mask, such as Figure 6).
Figure 6, two repeated calls
(3) After the above steps, we found that the original film permeability increased a lot, color is rich a lot, but the effect is not obvious enough. So, after stamping the layer, add a brightness contrast adjustment layer (brightness unchanged, contrast adjusted to 40), then add a black and white adjustment layer, and change the layer mode to soft light and adjust the layer transparency (Figure 7), further enhance the screen contrast level.
(4) After the above several steps, the screen has been greatly improved, continue to repeat the previous steps, and then call the color Efex Pro 4 Plug-in "film Effect: Retro" filter, using the same parameters with the mask continue to strengthen the screen color level (Figure 8).
(5) After the completion of the above steps, we found that the overall picture is relatively warm, but I would like to slightly strengthen the contrast of warm and cold, so that the picture looks more solid. After all, the main body of the screen is affected by the surface and there is no light. So, for the 4th time in the last step, call the "film Effect: Retro" filter in color Efex Pro 4, unlike the first three times, this time the moderation is reduced to-100%, which is to go to the cooler (Figure 9).
Then, the reverse-phase mask, the screen is not affected by the light of the local, so that the cold tune a little more prominent in the screen. If you feel that this step is not enough, you can repeat the call to the filter and match the Mask 1-2 times (Figure 10).
(6) At this point, the screen adjustment finished, the final option to direct the drawing, can also be used to do some sharpening and then out of the map. The front and back is like Figure 11.
This tutorial is mainly to use color Efex Pro 4 filter plug-ins, in fact, improve the photo is not transparent method there are many, not the same, varies from person to person. As long as we can achieve our late goal. As the saying goes, White cat black cat, catch mouse is a good cat. We do not care about the adjustment parameters, after all, everyone's film situation varies widely, but the method and means is naturally richer and more conducive to our problem solving. Finally, we need to explain that Google Nik is a very powerful filter library, but also a double-edged sword. Transition dependence, will make people become lazy, lose creativity, but with good, can be doubled, icing on the cake.
Okay, the above information is small make up to you photoshop this software users brought to the detailed picture of the yellow tune of the autumn village view photos of the full content of the tour, you see the users here, small series believe you are now very clear method of production, So now you go to the tutorial and try to color it yourself.
