PS later to create a unique perfect blue sky

Hello everyone, I am a small monster, very happy and we share the later experience, there are many pocoer sent to DMS hope to understand the blue sky and white clouds processing, so today I will focus on the matter: how I personally deal with the blue sky and white clouds.

I believe that a lot of friends have encountered this situation when shooting, encountered a good environment scene, but the sky behind a white, even a little cloud is not, you began to hesitate, try to avoid it, big head photo to several. The prospect of a few, the angle from the top down and so on. Also must have the friend tries to add the material, but the total feeling is bad some what, the feeling is not lifelike, the material is not a bit false and so on. Below I began to explain my usual way to deal with the blue sky and white clouds to tell you, see the final surprise Oh!

The first step: we open the main map, this is what I said before the background of the whiteness. This has nothing to do with the aperture size, because there is really no cloud, so you open the aperture in the small, no things and details you will never be photographed. There are a lot of friends ask me why you are filming the saturation of the scene so low, so that the screen looks a bit dirty, and insipid feeling. Because in different circumstances, it may be because of your exposure problem or saturation through high formation of the color spot phenomenon, you want to pull it back, the stain is always formed. Do not then the film is good, because the formation of color spots outweigh the gains. I believe that I still have the time to adjust the color of 10 pieces of work. If it's a wedding or a photo shoot or a big shot, I'm suggesting that you can adjust your previous parameters to your own level of satisfaction. After all, adjust the late volume of hundreds of Zhang is still a little tired.

The second step: RAW format export after we enter the PS interface to operate, I repair the general direction of the film or those steps, portrait repair, the final overall color. In fact, this principle is the same as drawing. Let's copy a layer first. (CTRL+J)

Then we started to fix this picture and I felt the sky was too small. We use the mobile tool to pull the picture down as a whole.

The third step: you will be asked to pull the top is not less, the screen appeared in the bar. Because behind the background I originally need cloud material cover out, so I do not want to spend time to find the same photo overlay processing, so directly using the rectangular marquee tool to select it, we should pay attention to a little bit do not select the main characters, otherwise people will be deformed at the same time.

When selected, we use the mobile tool to pull, to cover the place where the copy is vacant.

Fourth step: Our image composition has been repaired almost, and then we check the screen has wood and there are places to change. If not, we start to adjust the color of the sky. A lot of friends asked me why they add some false sky material, because the exposure is different, the ambient light also has the effect of virtual and so on various factors.

We add a blank layer, (prepare for the blue sky background), next we select the Gradient tool, and then point out the gradient mode-select (simple) and there is the blue from deep to shallow gradient way. The sky in the blue it must also have a sense of shallow depth, so I choose to process it with a gradient. The following figure:

Fifth step: I choose the light blue gradient, and then select the Gradient tool in the blank layer, from bottom to pull. Gradient effect formation, adjust layer transparency to 50% so you can see where I need to wipe. A friend will ask, why to from the bottom up, this can be based on the main figure light source direction to determine the direction of the pull, such as the main body of light on the right, then we from the right to the left, according to the scene of the ambient light to match the decision from which direction to pull from the Layer mode selection is normal, there is a positive pattern inside the mode slightly close. But the individual feeling the picture effect is still a little bit, so I choose Normal mode.

Then add the mask and use the brush tool to erase the characters and the green space.

PS: Some friends will ask you can use the Magic wand tools and other methods, here I would like to say that PS has a powerful tool group, everyone can according to their own habits and ways to operate. In the quickest way, the best effect to reach your mind of the screen, I personally prefer to use the brush tool more points.

PS: Last time a friend asked me why brush out with the edge is very hard to soften the feeling, this you choose the brush to use the edge of the soft brush, the hardness of the above to be adjusted. (A lot of friends said the eraser is the same, here I can be very responsible to tell you, not the same, because the mask with a brush, there is a place to rub the X key with a finger to switch black and white, eraser you have to use two fingers to press ctrl+z, backward step, save a finger is also good, we say is not pull. After wiping out the effect I found it was still a bit deep, then adjusted the transparency to 15% feel good. As shown in figure:
