Post-sublimation car shooting works

First of all, let's talk about why digital photos are late. Many photography beginners feel that the better the camera, the less the later, the better the photographer's shooting technology is not needed later, in fact, these two views are not entirely correct. Mainly due to the digital camera photosensitive principle of congenital deficiencies, electronic sensors in terms of latitude do not compare with the chemical film, it is often felt that digital photos are often not enough real, lack of levels, color reduction is too bad, showing a gray feeling.

Second, the most common digital card machine to ensure that the direct rate of photos, reduce the use of the threshold, has been combined in the camera part of the late effect, SLR camera presents a more "original" shooting effect, but did not increase the number of automatic later, so the SLR camera photos are more needed later.

This time I chose the car model in the Volvo S60L cars shot as an example of later modification. This photo shooting angle for skylight overhead, model half in S60L's main driving position smile, right out of the space just to the multi-function steering wheel left a position, Volvo Classic car marked outside the coke looming, with a luxurious sense of chrome-plated interior elements are also more fully presented in the photo.

This photo composition is more in line with the needs of photographers, see histograms, exposure is also more normal, that is, the overall picture does not have too many bright spots, then we next in LR and PS two tools for this picture to beautify and repair.

First in the Lightroom (hereinafter referred to as LR) processing. The principle to be dealt with in LR is to restore. Since the camera's sampling analog-to-digital conversion is sure to cause distortion, raw information is well preserved. This requires us to use LR to restore the real scene as much as possible, and to get more details from the source file. The white balance and the stylized processing of the photos can be done in Photoshop.

Many photography enthusiasts have different views on how to adjust the color temperature of the whole picture. I think the color temperature should be based on the truth, adjust the warm or cold tones can be a little bit more focused on the photo scene, but not too much.

Exposure adjustment, reference to the photo display effect and histogram determination. Try to ensure that the high light does not overflow, the dark is not pure black. Note that the normal exposure is not the histogram is concentrated in the middle area.

A slight increase in contrast, contrast is to make the dark darker, brighter light, will make the contrast of the whole picture, shadow highlights, back a large number of dark details. But it's not too bright to control the darkest spot. The leftmost edge of the histogram, distributed at the left of the x-axis.

Slightly increase the clarity, will let the original file loss details, reduce saturation, appropriate add brightness degree. Curve, because it is not in LR, so the curve is also for the purpose of restoring details.

Finally, the lens adjustment and screen cutting, you can directly according to the lens configuration file to adjust, using the cutting tool to intercept redundant elements.

Use of brushes

In LR, use a brush to adjust the source file partition. The specific brush from left to right is adjusted, brush 1 characters Hair pick bright, in order to do bright light later, bright, temperature slightly warm. Brush 2 characters face, reduce sharpness, increase dark brightness. Brush 3 model legs and car doors, raise the dark part, increase contrast, brush 4 on the S60L multifunction steering wheel, increase the mood, increase contrast, and improve the dark brightness to restore detail. The principle is zoning adjustment, so that the whole picture more integrated, each part of the screen more harmonious.

LR Partial processing end, export jpg,320 resolution, 100% quality.

Use PS to do the next color, repair and creative work. Open LR exported jpg files with photoshop cc. The whole picture wants to make a kind of afternoon backlight feeling.

First use the curve to adjust the whole picture of the tone and light, in order to match the backlight effect added later.

Add new layer, select Gradient tool, radial gradient, change foreground color to light yellow.

Set three layers, respectively, from the head of the model, the car reflector, the front windshield projection to pull out three gradient punch points, respectively, set to soft light, real color mixing, transparency according to the photo needs set to 20-40% about. With the light point and soft light to make the sunset under the feeling of backlighting, and the whole picture of the atmosphere rendering.

The final finishing work, the model's cheeks liquefaction operation. This process can not be too much patience to deal with a little bit, processing to the natural.

The final step is to use the Healing brush tool to remove excess stains and acne marks on the face and photos of the model.

Finally save the output, the best quality.

Finished drawings.

Finally, I enumerate the more common scenes in the car shooting, respectively, is the engine close-up, the city road gallop when the shooting, car interiors Three kinds of photos, to amend before and after comparison. The fans are more than able to draw a conclusion on how to deal with the work of the car in different situations.
