The scarlet hue, slightly blurred noise, creates a retro film sensation. In the nostalgic atmosphere to create a childhood dream world. In the face of the past dream, the image is still shooting a fantastic sense of surprise. How does a retro film feel like this later? Photographer Wang Zhixu (Micro blog @ Wang Zhixu imp) brings the Scarlet tone film sense of "behind closed doors", sharing the experience with you, interested friends look down.
Recently took a few village series photo, the picture content is super ground gas, but it seems to be quite fun. Contact photography time is also not short, but has been wandering in the senior rookie stage, saw a lot of great God's technical stickers, feel that the total when a vampire is not very good, for a moment, with the idea of prostitution, so I decided to this group of photos of the color process to share out.

Moreover is oneself indiscriminately to make a kind of tinting method, for the moment called "Vermilion tonal Film sense" of the closed doors, of course, if you read after, if the fire is obsessed with words can not come to me.
The reality is, before I saw the show where Dad went, feel that the peasant life is actually very interesting, so in a snowy afternoon, to the surrounding a place called three home experience, in the house and the old man chatted for a while, and then they were busy playing cards, I took the camera out.
A circle around the house, see the interesting place, took a few pictures. The sky is obscured by a thin cloud, and the intensity of the sun can be looked at with the naked eye, so that the natural light is weak and soft and light is small. Account of the time and place of the event, the following to specifically say the color process.
Here's a demo with this photo.
PS: In order to write this method clearly, I decided to display the step-by-step description of each of the steps, I hope that you are reading some help.
Original film
It was taken there the other afternoon. Because the light is weak at that time, only use the window side of the natural light, and is hand-held clap, come back to see, the speed has been opened to 5000, thought, finished, the pupil of the pattern will not be very beautiful, magnified a look, indeed so. But fortunately, the hands are not shaking, so it seems that can be studied.
Under such a photograph, is sure there is no way to clear the pupil, unless it is a painting, or superimposed material, but then do not have any meaning, I decided to think of some other way, to remedy, so I thought can try to make film feeling, the following say my personal color method.
First, the late thinking comb
First of all, I think this photo is about three parts to adjust.
1. The pupil, also the center of the vision, is the main part of the vision.
2. The upper and lower lashes, which are the visual center to the surrounding "background" of the excessive part.
3. The range beyond the lashes is the background of the whole picture.
I want to practice is to let the subject jump out from the background, looks more obvious, the other parts of the face will not rob the screen too, at the same time, but also to let the eyelashes to the face of the virtual excessive softer, not too hard, and then add on the film particles in the scarlet tone became.
Second, the specific operation
The first step, copy the background layer (leave a good posterior, if not a successful debugging, can also be a step back to the original state.) This screen is mainly composed of eyes and skin, color mainly red, yellow, white and black, add optional color adjustment layer, I made adjustments to three colors, mainly to restore the details of the eye.
Copy background layer, add optional color adjustment layer
The second step, add color balance, change the color temperature, the color temperature rise a little, look warm.
Add color balance, change color temperature
Increase the contrast adjustment layer
The third step, to increase the contrast adjustment layer, is to do so, the eye as a visual focus and background to distinguish more obvious, so that the focus more prominent, I put the contrast to the Mange, when the background part of the more clean, but the eyelashes and eyes part of the dead Black group, not too good-looking, so add masks, Rub the eyelashes and the eye parts out.
The fourth step, the color adjustment, highlights the "dead black" part of the screen, while the skin looks a bit more thorough.
Color scale adjustment, highlight local
Fifth step, add the film noise point. Here are two options, one of which is neutral gray plus noise, but that's better for black-and-white photos, and if it's color, I choose to use a stamped stamp and add noise directly on the stamped layer to make it look better.
Add film noise
Here's a wake-up call, plus the noise, these noises are generally evenly distributed on the screen, but at this point, as the center of the screen eyes will no longer bright, like a layer of sand, the eyes of sand is not too fun, so added a mask, the eyes part of the noise to erase part of the. If the sense of noise is too dense, you can further add a little blur up. I added a 0.3 gaussian blur.
Further adjustment of saturation
The sixth step is to further adjust the saturation degree.
The seventh step is to remove the small eye problems.

The eighth step, stamped layer, soft light mode, further increase the contrast.
Stamped layer, increasing contrast
Nineth step, fill red, control hue.
Fill Red
The tenth step, the final adjustment of hue saturation.
Adjust hue saturation
Because it is a film sense, it will no longer do sharpening treatment. If you do, personally suggest sharpening the film before adding it.
The 11th step, stamped the stamp, at this time to see some of the eyebrows below the discordant color, with a Dodge tool to gently rub, and the surrounding color roughly consistent. Because I do not wear makeup, just by feeling it.
Stamped stamp, detail trimming
Finally added a dark angle, bob.
Add Dark angle
Finally, this figure is not particularly representative, do not calculate well, and even some of the necessary adjustment options are not used, such as a strong curve, even a little useless, in fact, behind the stem, hidden a skeleton secret.
Because that day took several photos of the country, if each adjustment, it will be very time-consuming, so immediately lazy from the heart, laziness from the edge of life, so, I decided to think of a way, that is just to make a, the back of the direct apply on it.
After looking at the material, feel the retro film feeling will enhance the interest of the picture, add a little vermilion tone, so that the screen will look more close to the traditional some, so I have to do it, the first adjustment, you can directly apply to the back of the picture, the operating method is, directly to adjust the photo from the bottom of the first layer load, Then the mask is all disabled, of course, there is a added noise in the middle of the part also need to manually add.
