PS Two examples teach you to pull out a strong autumn atmosphere + blue sky tone

Photoshop has a particularly useful function called "optional Color", learned later with this can be super convenient to make a lot of late effects, today @ His mountain eye with two styles as an example demo, help you master this cool feature of the use of the method.

This kind of picture looks very soft, the whole atmosphere is very autumn flavor.

(This picture is from Zhongguancun Photography Forum User: Sub Road _10)

The original image is this:

In fact, to pull out this hue, the important three aspects.

The conversion of color

The creation of light

Adjustment of skin tone

1, the color conversion

I had to come up with this picture again:

This combination of color adjustments can be recorded as: left or right.

It can create an atmosphere of intense autumn.

Let's adjust:

Note the relative and absolute options.

The two effects, you can be such a simple difference: the same settings, the relative effect will be relatively softer, the absolute effect will be relatively strong.

2, the creation of light

After the adjustment we just made, the color of the picture has changed.

Then we add light to the picture through light factory.

After the general addition of light, the screen will appear a little hazy, we can adjust the gamma value or contrast, so that the picture appears clearer.

Screen effect as shown:

3, the color adjustment

The color adjustment This step actually sees a person likes.

If you like the way people feel when they're bathed in the sun, you don't have to adjust.

If you prefer a clear sense of character, adjust it.

The adjustment method is also relatively simple.

We copy the original layer and then adjust the contrast or other parameters of the newly copied layer so that the character's facial clarity is OK.

The way I recommend it, of course, is to use a set of black-field tools.

For example, we use the Set Black Field tool to click on the effect of the person's hair:

Then put the original layer on the top, with a mask to smear the face out, there is a trick is:

Use low opacity and use a soft edge brush.

The final effect is this:

Is the feeling of autumn more intense?

The late course of Blue sky tone

Let's briefly summarize the features of the screen:

One, the color of the screen is divided into two parts

The screen mainly to the blue sky and the yellow ground, the two formed a very good complementary, giving people a great visual feeling.

　Second, the sky color

I do not know whether the color of the sky is natural or post-processing, but there are a few classic alternative color combinations that are used to imitate this color.

　　Third, the ground color

The color of the ground has two aspects:

1, there may be natural color, it may also be post-processing. We can get this color through post-processing.

2, the brightness of the ground is improved. The color of the ground mainly orange, so when we improve the brightness of orange, the overall brightness of the ground will improve, and the sky to form a better match.

Let's open a picture first:

This picture overall contrast is too high, the detail flaw is more serious, we use the gamma value to adjust the picture:

We first use an optional color to adjust the sky:

The results are:

This is a very classic optional color combination.

Next we adjust the ground and we use this optional color combination:

Note: The black here is reduced by 46%, which means that the brightness of the ground has increased, which is a key parameter.

The effect of the screen is:
