Let's give you a detailed analysis of the post-processing tutorials of the ancient style photography.
Tutorial sharing:
Today, we will share with you how the beautiful retro-style Chinese costume portraits come from a later stage. The example picture is from the photographer's guest film. The photo is displayed at @ He Jing. Let's analyze the source film first. We can see that the source film is gray, and the color is not very nice, because it is shot at the top of the noon, and the shadow on the model face is serious. These are the places to be improved later. After learning about the future direction, we will start to repair the film! First, open the raw format source in photoshop, and a plug-in named camera raw will automatically pop up. This plug-in has almost the same functions as lightroom.
First, change the color temperature from 4000 to 5050, and change the color tone to 19. Then, change the exposure, contrast, highlight, and shadow as shown in the figure, it should be noted that each photo is different. This is mainly because I like the classic style of all films, so I am used to low saturation, reduce the "natural saturation" and the definition.
The next step is to modify the image curve. I like to use the S curve. Remember to pull a little from the lower left corner to the right, and pull a little bit of highlights and shadows respectively, so that the image is bright and bright, it can make the digital gray feel removed and the pictures become transparent.
The next step is to adjust the color phases, saturation, and brightness of each color. The specific parameters are as follows.
After this step, we can see that both the green color and the color of the person have reached our desired feeling. Here there is a trick: Orange usually determines the color of the person's skin, the brightness increase will greatly improve the skin color. There are also a lot of beginners to color, the character color and the environment color is very similar, you can solve this problem through the "separation tone", so here also need to adjust, the parameters are shown in the figure.
The parameters for adjusting the highlight and shadow are not absolute, but also for everyone's own feeling. The role of this step is to separate the tones of the characters from the environment, finally, adjust the three primary colors in the red, green, and blue dialog box.
Click "OK" to go to photoshop and get a background layer. We often press ctrl + j to copy a layer and operate on the copied layer.
We can see that the tones are basically adjusted in camera raw. Next we will perform the liquefaction and polishing of portraits. After the filter is liquefied, we will create a neutral gray layer, in the neutral gray layer, the light and shade details of the character's face are carefully smeared with an opaque paint brush. This is a very meticulous job. Neutral gray polishing can perfectly retain the texture of the character's skin, because we operate on a neutral gray layer. Of course, after we finish, we can also perform Channel polishing and other auxiliary work to make the relationship between the characters better.
You can see that some of the original stripes, the skin top shadow, and the rule pattern have been repaired, but the skin remains very good, because of the time relationship, the neutral gray layer is not very detailed, but it is much better than ordinary Gaussian blur surface blur filters, the blur that is worn out by her mother is meaningless.
After the characters are liquefied and the skin is processed, we need to make some minor adjustments to the overall relationship between light and shade of the image, so we create a new transparent layer and set the layer relationship to "Soft Light ", adjust the size and transparency of the paint brush, and use black and white colors to smear the overall brightness and shade. This will make the relationship between brightness and shade more prominent and highlight what you want to express.
At this point, even if this guest film is finished, this is the simplest process of repairing the film, mainly to adjust the color in camera raw, in fact, some images still need to be adjusted in the ps, as well as some applications of the mask. Finally, let's take a look at the comparison between the source image and the repaired image.
Have you learned? In fact, ordinary films can be adjusted in this way, isn't it very easy? If you like it, share it and learn it! Supplement: 1. After the figure is fixed, an xmp file will appear in the folder. This is the color file, when you call the second image, you can open it in camera raw and load the selected xmp file to apply the tone. You don't need to adjust it any more. The same applies to a set of work tones. Second, it is also the most important thing. In fact, it is only a helper in the later stage. It will be willful in the later stage. Therefore, you must find a good photographer, such as me ~
All right, the above information is the detailed post-processing tutorial of the ancient style photography works for the users of photoshop, users now see this. I believe that the solution is clear, then you can try to process your favorite photos according to the method shared above.
