PS Lock the Dream color palette with the sleeve head

On the later stage, everyone has their own goals and concepts, I am not a master figure, this work is aimed at one side of practice, while sharing personal views and practices, hope that, if so attracted to the real master message advice, which for me is very ideal results.

The picture above is the contrast, filmed in the place of Kyoto, the rice-Dutch club in the mid-levels of the new pool, time of autumn maple season. The camera used is Canon 6D with the EF 24-105mm f/4l is USM lens, which was cloudy and somewhat dim, set to F/4, 1/125s., ISO 640, focal length 73mm, handheld photography.

1) Open RAW file

Because there is no sunshine, plus is RAW file relationship, in Lightroom out when a miserable gray, no color levels, contrast low; In addition, the content of the screen, the lake too much debris, looks very dirty.

2) Basic Repair chart

The first change is the white balance, because I hope to have strong autumn, so to a warmer temperature, the hue is also pushing more green. In addition, the exposure and contrast are pushed up, while the light part is lowered to avoid the partial position exposure. As for the saturation also has the enhancement, but the clarity reduces, lets the overall picture add a little oil painting flavor. In addition also improve the red saturation, to maintain the overall picture of the color balance, there are some fine items are not specifically mentioned. As for the lake part to be dealt with later.

3) Lake Decoration

This with the Repair brush processing (see picture right), see the Lake large and small white circle, is slowly remove leaves, rubbish, even ducks and so on.

4) Adjust the color of the lake

The yellow-green lake does not actually reflect the original appearance, and also not beautiful, feel the whole picture is miserable yellow and green, so I used the graduated filter filter (a lot of choices, we can adjust according to preferences) to let the lake color temperature bias Cool (blue), in addition to reduce clarity and sharpness, Let the lake further blur and smooth, this will be more in line with Shanzhong calm feeling. The color of the image below is closer to the scene.

5) Balance Color

Although the level of the above picture is close to the scene, but the overall color is not very good balance, look uncomfortable, so the lake pushed to more blue, the whole picture has become very bright, but also a good balance.

Completed, is a more autumn and dreamy landscape
