Photography Tutorial -
With the technique I show you today, we can correct the color of a bad picture, as in my case.
This makes the camera did with my mobile phone and as you can see is pretty bad.
With Photoshop we will improve it.
STARTED:
1. Open the picture (
CONTROL + O).
2. Press CONTROL + J
to duplicate, this step is required, I will never tire of telling you that you work on a copy, never on the original.
3. Blur
applying layer Filter> Blur < DESENFOQUE GAUSSIANO: in my case I have put radio
10 px.
4. Then
change the Blending Mode from Normal to Soft Light
.
5. With these steps we have recovered, somewhat, the colors and contrast of the picture.
now place you in
FUND layer and apply a Curves adjustment layer:
LAYER> NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER> CURVES (or click the circular icon
half white half black color palette located under Layer and select Curves ).
Click the center of the curve and move a little, down, to darken the picture.
6.
Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Levels : let us make use of droppers black and white, like this: click the black point eyedropper and click on the area of \u200b\u200bthe darker picture, then choose white-tipped eyedropper and click in the image clearer.
In this way we recover the image definition.
7.
Layer> New Adjustment Layer> Selective Color : in my case I changed the yellow color-selection from the drop-down box at the top of the dialog box, with these values: Cyan: 0, Magenta: I have +1 , in Amarillo: +12 and +10 have put Black.
8. With this step we have achieved something
over image sharpness. Now press the letter Q
to activate
Quick Mask and press the letter B
to select the Brush
. Drawing on the mask
the area of \u200b\u200bthe photo that you believe need to be improved - for example
an area still has a predominant color.
9. Press the letter Q
to exit Quick Mask, then it shows the selection you have made. Invert this selection:
Select> Inverse (Control + Shift + I) and smooth a bit this selection:
SELECT> Refine Edge: put 4 px radio.
10. Now let's apply a new adjustment layer:
LAYER> NEW ADJUSTMENT LAYER < EQUILIBRIO DE COLOR: click HALFTONE
and put the appropriate values \u200b\u200bthat you believe - in my case I put these -15 / +16 / 0, then LIGHTING
click and put, as are the corresponding values, in my case I put this: -3 / +1 / 0 -.
That is all. With the help of PhotoShop
, and using a few
Adjustment Layers have improved a picture quite dull and poorly made.
Learning the technique and use it in your work. I will be very useful ... and practice, practice, practice.
DESIGN IS IMAGINATION Greetings.
