Using PS to match color to photo palette

Today, a whim to the dream of the past with a picture. The dream is called the Blue Grass Manor Place, is the future world of a holiday mecca, full of blue and purple grass in full bloom.

But such a picture is not easy to find, direct use of Provence lavender field is too irresponsible. Cola Orange simply oneself PS a bit, incidentally here share the PS process.

Keywords: matching colors, replacing colors

This technique makes it easy to print the tones of a picture to another picture, creating a magical effect. Here's how to start the demo:

First, find a picture of the lawn. The light is yellow and the color is singular. But the composition and the level of the feeling is great.

The Blue Grass Manor is a quiet and distant place. This picture, regardless of tone or atmosphere, has this flavor.

Use PS to open both pictures. Switch to the grass picture, select the image in the menu--adjust--match the color.

In the pop-up window, set the source into Snow Mountain map, OK. You can also do some fine-tuning with the 3 sliders above.

The magical thing happened, there is no! The hue of the Snow Mountain chart is sucked over, and it is natural. However, the picture on the upper right of the light area looked unsightly, this cool light makes the screen has a hint of eerie feeling, but also to tune.

Select the image in the menu--adjust--Replaces the color.

A window pops up and the mouse pointer changes to an eyedropper. The next operation is very good understanding, replace the color, as the name suggests. Use the eyedropper to draw a color from the picture, and the color in the top of the window is what you draw.

Then click the color block below and choose what color to change. Adjusting the fuzziness (as if it is "tolerance") expands/shrinks the range of effects of the replacement color. But it's not a range, it's a gamut, and closer colors will be replaced together.

Let's choose an evening color.

The horizon has warmed up. But the light range is too small and the light is too dim. There is still a large expanse of cold light, and the source is particularly strange, and dusk out of tune.

Replace the color again, absorbing the cool colors at the junction of warm and cold, and replace them with darker shades of twilight.

Well, the sunset and the Blue grass mirrored the wonderful wine red at the junction of the light and shade. Dindal still vaguely visible grass fluttering.

However, there is a white spot in the lower left of the picture is very unsightly, it is reflective. Wipe it off with a patch tool.

It's the scene of the dream.

Summarize

Matching color + replacement color, this recruit a wide range of applications. can give the low-end equipment to take out the dim photo to Polish, can also make some film style of small fresh map, but also can treat the normal photos into a peculiar hue, even whitening skin. Of course, Coca-Cola Orange suggests that it's best not to use food photos, and the result is likely to save you a lunch.
