Skillfully using color shadow to realize high quality beauty effect

It's a common problem to encounter: Photo of the characters many small acne, skin is not too good, so want to make a good face, improve the photo grade, we can find a lot of fool beauty software, to achieve a variety of cosmetic effects, but after the beauty of the photos do you think it looks real? Many people may have such a concern, Especially when your photos need washing, for everyone to appreciate, the real is the most important! We know, with PS can achieve professional-level cosmetic effect, but PS is professional-level software, operation is not simple. Can find a software operation is not troublesome, the effect is first-class?

Today I would like to introduce this section of "Color Shadow 2010" Can help you solve this big problem! (Figure 1).

Fig. 1, the original image/Effect chart contrast, the cosmetic effect is professional, true!

1, let's start to experience it! First, start the software, in the main interface of the central area to easily double-click the mouse, you can open the fastest speed of your photos, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2, open the photo to be beautified

2, the analysis of photos, we can not be difficult to find photos of the environment caused by the face black. But because some places high light is very bright, some place is very dark, if uses the ordinary enhancement brightness method to repair, that will certainly let the photograph expose excessively, therefore we should use the special brightening function. Here we use the color shadow unique "HDR elevation detail" function, let the bright part as far as possible, and let the dark part of the light up. Click on the Advanced Repair tab in the top navigation bar, and then select HDR Elevation details on the left side of the function, and adjust the parameters as needed, not too bright or too dark, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3, first use the HDR feature to make the photo sound and look more comfortable

3, look at the details, mm face a bit rough, this time you can click on the top navigation bar "advanced repair", on the left side of the sidebar to select "Local Grinding", the picture below will appear "local grinding" of the setting panel, adjust the appropriate aperture size, in the rough part of the smear, but to be careful not to "wear off" the details of the boundaries of facial features, As shown in Figure 4.

Note: In the feature sidebar on the left side of advanced repair, you can also find the "High quality speckle" option, and if your photo character has spots, you can use that feature first, but don't wear it for the time being. I compared the color shadow of the speckle function, in detail to retain more than the traditional software is much better, the transition is very natural.

4, finished? No, not yet! It can be said that any software grinding skin will cause skin texture and the loss of details, skin looks unreal. Don't worry, color shadow provides us with the solution, this is the general software does not have the function---"USM Advanced sharpening"! USM Advanced Sharpening "is a kind of high intelligence sharpening tool, its sharpening effect is very outstanding, USM sharpening has many realization methods, but to PS for the best, color shadow of USM sharpening and PS effect compared, can say no difference, visible quality equally outstanding." USM Sharpening can also be used in photo image restoration and other fields, a very wide range of uses!

Because we just skinned the face of the character, so just use the Lasso tool may simply choose the face of the MM (in the picture easily click the right mouse button can be called to select the Lasso tool), so that the USM sharpening only for the constituency, and do not need the whole picture, as shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5, just use the Lasso tool to easily select the face for USM Sharpening, probably simple selection can be, do not need accurate

5, finally, in the "Advanced repair" on the left side of the function bar, select "USM Advanced Sharpening" (Figure 6), while adjusting the value of the preview effect (generally just adjust the "quantity" parameter and use a smaller value), until the skin restores the original texture, clarity and brightness and look very real.

Fig. 6, the magical "USM Advanced Sharpening" function lets the skin texture, the bright ze restores again

All right, let's take a look at the finished product effect chart, have you all learned it:

Figure 7, there is no too much modification, but in the simple details to strive for perfection, out of the most beautiful!
