The creative retouching of portrait skin can enhance the visual tension to some extent, especially through the adjustment of color and texture, it may change the face of the whole picture and show a large effect.

In the case of digital post-processing, it is important for the designer to feel the first impression of the photo because it determines the basic idea of the adjustment.

As for the adjustment of the steps and techniques vary, but the ultimate goal is to achieve a certain optimal effect. As a result, digital designers may be more likely to understand photos than photographers.

In the post-production, many people now like to emphasize the "texture", but the texture is not isolated, want to make a portrait photo with a strong visual impact, in the production must grasp the "degree".

Make sure there are details in the dark, and there are details in the Ming Dynasty. Only in order to ensure that the image "quality" premise, can do a series of color adjustment.

Here, we will simply introduce a few not to real reduction for the purpose of creative adjustment methods, especially the color, texture adjustment, so that the photos show a large effect.

First of all, let's look at the contrast between the revised and original artwork.

The first step, after opening the original image, first use the HDR filter, the initial adjustment of the picture, so that the bright spot is very bright, dark parts are very dark, while the bright part of the dark part of the details are very obvious.

(Now the HDR filter can achieve a high dynamic range effect on a single picture without having to synthesize the same picture with different exposures.) Then use the level tool to adjust the picture to enhance its contrast.

In the second step, the stamped layer gets a new layer and then changes the layer's blending mode to "multiply" to deepen the color of the picture.

The third step, switch to the channel option, and select the red channel, and then apply the "calculation" command, get a new channel 1. Then choose the green channel, apply the "calculation" command, get the new channel 2. The specific settings are shown in the figure.
