PS Out Day series Cyan film Texture photo

This kind of texture is now very popular a kind of small fresh effect, the old rules, @ His mountain eye gives not only is the operation method, is also extrapolate the color idea, to learn fishing technology.

According to the convention, first talk about ideas, and then talk about methods.

OK, according to convention, first talk about ideas, then talk about methods.

Figure 01

Figure 02

Original:

Figure 03

First of all, let's take a look at the histogram, but, you will find that the histogram of this picture is not unique.

Figure 04

It's a standard histogram that can't be standardized. So, gentlemen, let's skip this step.

Ha ha, you have to really skip this step you will be finished! Histogram there are three sons Ah, channel histogram ah.

Let's look at the red channel.

Figure 05

You will find a phenomenon, that is, the distribution trend of the histogram of the red channel is almost consistent with the distribution trend under the RBG channel.

Look at the green channel and the blue Channel again.

Figure 06

Figure 07

You will find that the histogram distribution trend of these two curves is almost consistent.

Of course, this is not the most critical, and the most important thing you will find is that they do not have more red channels in the low light part, which is vital.

Histogram after reading, what do we look at next? color!

The author asks a question of the retarded: what color is the leaf generally?

Green is, what color is the leaf in the picture?

Cyan is it, how to turn cyan from green?

The author has said many times, if you know the color change principle, use up! If you don't know, try!

In fact, the first time I saw this picture I know how this color is a change, why? Without him, only hand-cooked! If you use the optional Color tool hundreds of times, I don't think you need to understand the principle of color change at all.

The author's parameters such as figure, of course, I just casually tuned, you can be more careful to tune:

Figure 08

Figure 09

Please observe the structure of the author's layer. What's the problem? That is, the optional color can be superimposed and adjusted separately, remember!

Figure 10

At this point, we'll stamp the layer, and the effect is this:

Figure 11

Seems to be far from the effect we want.

Let's continue to look at the original image and see if there is any so-called "one" on the original artwork.

The specific operation of the author does not speak, is the use of color level tool Set black field function.

You do not go into a misunderstanding, that film should have a layer, in fact, this picture you will find that it is not that layer.

Next, we make adjustments to the channel. Why? Because the channel will directly affect the color.

First of all, we need to highlight the green channel a little bit, why? Because it can make the picture whole green.

Channel curve of the use of the author has not specifically said, but its use of methods and curves are basically the same, the only difference is that the channel it directly affects the color, and the RBG channel is to affect the overall brightness.

Figure 12

What should we do next?

Back to our previous observations of the histogram, the red channel is much more in the low light area, what does this mean?

The author pulls a curve:

Figure 13

Do you understand the meaning of this curve?

The author of this curve is relatively few, seemingly did not mention?

Figure 14

Its effect is to make the picture overall darkened (mainly affect the low light area), there is a high contrast feeling, you can eliminate the gray in the picture.

The author just pulled the curve has two anchor points, another anchor point is very good understanding is to let the high light part is not affected.

Why are you pulling the red channel, and why are you pulling the red channel like this?

The reason to pull the red channel is because the red will affect the green, I said in the book a basic principle of color change, one of which is: Red channel light, the screen red increase. Red channel lighten, screen green increase.

Why do you pull like this? That is because the picture black is more, the whole is dark, the contrast looks higher.

Another reason is our previous analysis of the histogram.

In fact, if you have seen later, you will have a feeling, sometimes you do not need to use the histogram to judge, such as the shadow of the green, you can directly in mind to form such a red curve.

Since it is to add green to the shadow, why don't we use the green channel directly? Well, you can go back to the author's book, or understand the principle of color change.

To this step, we found that the effect is not the same as we want, the root cause is that our picture is warm, and the effect of the picture is cold.

How to deal with it or the channel curve.

This time the author pulls such a curve:

Figure 15

What does that mean? In fact, this is the same as the curve and just the opposite, it means to highlight the screen, mainly to the high light part of the operation, which let the blue mainly affect the walls, the ground these high light area.

OK, to this step, basically almost.

Then stamped layer, plus black and black, add film particles.

Finally, reduce the saturation of the cyan.

Figure 16

Finally you can use the Mask tool to modify the local, such as reducing the degree of blue on the road.

Effect as shown:

Figure 17

OK, this tutorial is finished, in fact, the steps summed up very simple:

Optional color, three channel curve, Pointe-noire particle, saturation adjustment.

But the key is that you have to develop such a mentality, and the formation of this kind of thinking requires you to get through constant practice.

Or that sentence, the basic tool seems very simple, but you have to really grasp the imagination is not so easy, you have to try to really understand the essence.
