In addition, the author also introduces some techniques of interior image processing, such as the picture with too complex background, which can be properly trimmed by smearing or liquefaction tools. The part that can't be handled can be cut off with a cutting tool. The main color of the picture with elegant simplicity is preferred.

1, the original picture dragged into the Photoshop window, the picture automatically opened in camera raw, according to the normal visual requirements for simple screen cutting and parameter adjustment, this photo is Nikon d50+50mm f1.8 shot, detailed parameters see the upper right corner EXIF information, this is the initial default state after the import PS.

2, use the vertical tool and cutting tools to adjust the composition of the upper left corner, adjust the tone, contrast, slightly enhance exposure, reduce natural saturation, increase the degree of sharpening, after the adjustment is completed, click on the open image can be opened in the PS image.

3. Basic adjustment: The use of liquefied tools, the character's face and shape of a simple adjustment, should not be too large, otherwise it will look very awkward, if there is like to give the characters to wear skin, it should be handled in this step, and then the work only involves adjusting the screen color and light.

4, copy the background layer, using filters-other-high contrast retention, set the radius to a reasonable value, the layer's blending mode set to: Strong light, this step is to sharpen the image. Adds a mask for a layer that has just used the high contrast retention filter, sets the current foreground color to solid black, the background color to pure white (shortcut key D), and fills the high contrast retention layer mask with foreground color black. Using the Eraser tool, you will want to reflect the effect of the screen part of the corresponding mask to wipe white, such as the characters, hair, clothing and other places, other do not need to use the sharpening part of the mask to maintain the black state. Calculated layer transparency. If the degree of sharpness is often not enough, you can be high contrast to retain the layer directly copied to enhance the degree of sharpening, if you feel that the degree of sharpening, you can directly reduce the high contrast to retain the transparency of the layer.

5, Reduce saturation: Add natural saturation layer (this function only in the PS CS5 version only), adjust the natural saturation and saturation two parameters to reduce the saturation of the screen.

6, add optional color layer, for the first time color adjustment. Because the main color of the screen is red and yellow, so the emphasis on regulating red and yellow two channels, no sky, no plants, so cyan, green, blue channel almost no adjustment. Yellow channel is mainly used to adjust the characters of the painting department, reduce the yellow channel of the portion, can make the character face shadow part of the yellow lower, so that the person's face light ratio reduced.

10, after just a lot of steps color palette, the brightness of the screen feeling must have been a lot of influence. At this point, you need to use curves or levels to adjust the brightness of the screen. Here I have greatly improved the brightness of the screen, the principle is to make the face of light and shade than the minimum, and the character skin, especially facial skin, has just reached the edge of exposure. The brightness of the screen can be increased boldly, the amplitude can be larger, because the next operation will weaken the effect of exposure.

11, add photo filter layer, you can use the default warm color filter, the picture of the warming, the extent of the warming can be used to control the parameters of the thick, adjust the same need to maintain the screen brightness options. Photo Filter is a very few people use the tool, but it can bring a good screen dyeing effect, when the overall picture needs to be dyed in other colors, as long as the color of the check, and then select the color palette to choose.

12, add text.

13, if you want to shrink, you can try the last option in the sample position in the image size to resize the two cubic cubes in the image pixel (for narrowing), this interpolation method is more suitable for the use of thumbnails, in the process of reducing the image can be further sharpening effect.
