Using curves to strengthen tonal contrast backlight Portrait palette Tutorial

Very long time not out of the tutorial, the Internet asked more people, took out a previous map to do the tutorial, now ask the backlight is the most.

This tutorial is the main color palette, but also I now repair portrait with the main method, so often someone asked me what PS function, in fact, only the curve, encounter the different models will add a bit of liquefaction grinding, and other basic is the curve to fix

Words are not much said, the process is as follows:

This is the original image, also by the way of the backlight shooting tips bar.

It is not difficult to shoot the backlight, time can not be too late, in general, the Sun before the sun to shoot people easy to blind, it is best to have a little space between the sun and people, so that only part of the light in the leak can be, so that the details of the figure can be saved, otherwise it is the photo with eyes bright blind.

The original artwork and effect chart of the tutorial.

The back is open PS Guide map:

Description, because the filming time probably know their own way will let the photo warming, the scene of light and very warm, so the color temperature to be lowered some, this is 4100, the other does not change, directly to the JPG palette.

1, the first step is to add the first curve, that is, to brighten the RGB curve, a little light a bit better.

2, the second step to change the red and green curve, so that the picture slightly out of the magenta before the tone, magenta weakening only need to strengthen a little bit of green curve can be, and then improve the red curve part also reduce the dark part of the green tones.

3. This step adjusts the four curves to enhance the detail and contrast of the dark part.

4, the fourth step curve reduces the high light area, the dark part is also continued to strengthen the red-green curve continues to improve, the blue curve slightly lower, the three curves and the previous step, are to the darkest part of the region to improve the color will be rich, to this step if the pursuit of more comfortable tones, it can be over.

5, the last step completely look at the interest of the individual, I personally prefer a relatively high contrast photos, so will come a big curve contrast, red and green blue Three only need some fine-tuning, is to reduce the high light to improve the dark part of the adjustment.

The benefits of this step in addition to the character contrast to strengthen a backlight will be more prominent, the head leaky area and the effect on the hair color will be more obvious

And then it's over, the model doesn't need to grind the skin, just a little liquefaction.
