PS Tutorial: Adjust layer palette and Mixed mode rendering method dimming photos

Portrait photos often appear in the image of the gray, layered performance is not clear. The level is not clear can not highlight the theme, the whole picture looks prosaic, so the level of the adjustment photos is also a daily work must do. In fact, it is not difficult to solve the problem of the lack of photos, as long as the use of some color palette commands will be highlighted in the photos of the characters, dilute the rest of the main part on it, today on the flat without the level of the adjustment of the photo introduced two methods to solve this problem. The two methods involved in the command and operation are almost always used in daily work, but through a number of comprehensive list has evolved into a level of adjustment methods. Method One: "Adjust layer palette" is to use the layers of the layer below the level of the button to adjust the picture level of the image of repeated fine-tuning, and finally achieve the effect of our needs. Method Two: "Mixed Mode Rendering method" is to use some mixed mode to the image layer of the mixed calculation of the appropriate image, and then through the rendering filter to further adjust, and finally achieve the demand effect.

The specific method and procedure are described as follows:

Adjustment Layer Tinting Method:

1, open the photo 01, you can see that the photos are dusty hazy, giving a kind of unreal feeling, the level of insipid theme is not prominent, so for the quality of the photos must be adjusted to the level.

2, in the adjustment level before the first to adjust the contrast of the photos, open the Layers panel, in the lower adjustment layer button to select the level of adjustment layer and add, the contrast of the screen adjusted to close to the normal picture, as shown in Figure 02.

3. Use the Lasso selection tool to circle the selection (the main circle characters) in the range of Figure 03, and then feather the selection with a feather radius of 250 pixels.

4. After the feather is finished, add the curve adjustment layer to the selection, select the RGB channel in the curve, and adjust the curve appropriately. At this point the characters in the photo will be highlighted (in order to maintain the level and detail, the amplitude of the adjustment curve here is small), as shown in Figure 04.

5, repeat the previous operation, select characters, feather, highlight, but to note that the selection is less than the previous selection, as shown in Figure 05, 06.

6, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the newly added curve adjustment layer of the Mask section, bring up the previous use of the feather after the selection, and then the selection to perform the reverse command, at this time selected is the four-week background section, as shown in Figure 07.

7, to add a curve adjustment layer to the selection, the curve slightly downward pressure, at this time the picture around the background slightly dimming trend, as shown in Figure 08.

8. Use the Lasso tool again to circle the part near the edge of the photo and to feather the selection, as shown in Figure 09.
