Photoshop uses the HSB slider to paint samples

Today, the PS tutorial is about the use of HSB slider in Photoshop color tutorial, breaking the common color of beginners misunderstanding, to share with you, hope to help everyone!

This is mainly about the color problem that beginners encounter:

Generally have the following 2 kinds:

1, do not know what color to choose! Their color in the color board is always very uncomfortable! It's dazzling!

2, color is always dirty/very dark! The picture is very dirty feeling!

The above two questions, below take PS as an example to explain briefly.

"The following is the order of the words in the first diagram, which means that the text is more than the figure above the description text"

"Section I."

First of all, color must be taken before coloring/color selection, and the most intuitive color tool, is Photoshop inside the HSB slider.

Figure 01

This is the HSB slider, you can find in the PS inside the "color" panel, usually open the RGB slider, we click on the upper right corner of the window of the black triangle, select the HSB slider can be.

HSB Slider is the most intuitive for people to take color tools!

H= hue, as you can imagine--what color

S= saturation, as can be imagined-the concentration of pigments, can also be understood as "the current color of pigments + white pigments."

s value of 0 indicates "the current color of the pigment 0%+ white pigment 100%", that is, in addition to white pigments, you do not add any pigment pigments, and the s value of 100, indicating "the current color of the pigment 100%+ white pigment 0%", that is, is currently a pure color. What is the color, according to H and set.

The b= brightness can be imagined as the combination of H and S, the number of black pigments added. The truth of the numerical value is the same as S.

Why is HSB the most intuitive color-taking tool? Because people want to set a color, usually think of three questions:

1, what color? Red, yellow, blue, green? This is the H-value thing.

2, the color is thick or light? This is the S-value thing.

3, is the color bright or dark? This is the B-value thing.

This way down, a color is decided to come down, and people's thinking consistent.

Let's say I want a light blue color, then, I will choose the "blue" in H, the s place such as "50" (pigment 50%+ white pigment 50%), and since it is blue, is not used to the shadow part, then B value can be "100", such a train of thought, a color set.

Note: A simple color, we take the pigment, for example, a simple pigment, which itself is the brightest, plus black of course will darken, but add white pigment is not become brighter, but will become more light, to pay attention to light and light understanding. For example, a painting color is very light, you will call it a light color, you will not call it a bright color, because there is no dark contrast, there is no light.

Figure 02

1, below, we take a piece of thread to demonstrate.

Figure 03

2, suppose I have set the basic complexion of the face is this yellow, I want to upper part of the shadow, how to choose the shadow part of the color?

Figure 04

3, in the H and s unchanged case, take for granted in the original color of the black pigment, out of the color is the work of the "dirty" reason, remember, any painting should not casually add melanin, that is, B value. Why so many skilled convey color colorful, but not dirty, but also have a sense of hierarchy, and their first-hand on the dirty it? This is the reason, as to how to solve, and look at the following explanation.

Figure 05

4, see, if I do not move H and B, only increase s, that is--the color concentration increased, the same can reach the role of the level sense! This is why the pictures of the big hands are not dirty at all! Because even if they have a layered sense, B value can not be changed in the slightest. In other words, the sense of layering has increased, but the brightness has not changed!

Figure 06

5, in the above principle, step by step! If s and b do not change, then only H, will appear in the above situation! Above, H is in the yellow position, I took it to red a little bit, that is, mixed with the same brightness and concentration of red, can also increase the level of sense! Compared to the previous picture, This picture is actually more abundant. Because in the previous picture, there is only one color in the skin, now there are actually two colors-yellow + red in the inside, this subtle change is a rich source, if the whole picture with such a coloring method, seemingly simple diagram, in fact, will be mixed with a lot of subtle colors, which is why beginners usually can not find the way, Because the delicate process color is often invisible to the naked eye.

6, if I want to add in the shadow part of the reflection? The usual approach is to add cold tones, which is the same thing--changing H and s,b slightly, and now there are yellow, red, purple, and very rich in this complexion. If you look back at 3 and 4, you'll know the difference.

The reason is here, there are three levels of skin color, but the brightness almost no change, as long as I do not move B value, no matter what color I am, I will not make the painting very "dirty."
