I believe that many friends have had this feeling when they opened PS later: Is PS the devil? Why is it so difficult?

In fact, sometimes you don't need PS software, and you can just use the mobile phone retouching APP later! Today, Air Jun also invited a photographer, Cao Feng, to teach you how to use four retouching apps to repair a group of beautiful portrait photos.

Recently, I have been studying how to use mobile phones to realize professional portrait post-stage. I have to say that the current mobile APP is comparable to professional computer processing in some aspects.

If you don't consider the high standard output such as commercial films, other things like portraits, still life and scenery can be handled by mobile phones. One is convenience and the other is efficiency. Why not?

It is worth mentioning that no matter whether you use your mobile phone or computer later, you still need some basic color theory knowledge and early shooting skills to get a good-looking tone.

Don't be superstitious about the saying "later period is everything". Let's share my thoughts on the later period of mobile phones with a group of recent works.

Original and modified tones

Liquefaction grinding will also be involved in this paper.

As you can see, the original film was shot with weak side backlight. Because the main body of the character was not exposed when shooting, the whole photo looks gray.

Fortunately, VSCO, a mobile phone color matching software, supports RAW original films, which can be imported directly and repaired by filters and debugging. As long as the previous period is not too bad, there is basically room for recovery.

VSCO

The interface of the filter should be familiar to everyone, and I feel at a loss when I look at the dazzling array of filters. In fact, there are two ways to choose the filter that suits your style among many filters.

1, find a film for reference. If you want to imitate the movie style, you can find a picture with similar color information taken by others and choose a similar filter to use.

2. Try one by one to find the filter you feel in your heart, but this method is time-consuming.

I believe that most people will choose the second method, but this method is not suitable for beginners, and the first method is more reliable. It is worth mentioning that no matter which of the above two methods, don't expect to produce direct results. A good mobile phone must have done a lot of debugging on the original filter in the later stage.

Many students can't handle the later retouching of mobile phones because they can't debug. I personally want to adjust this group of works to the feeling of retro movies. Let me talk about the specific methods of my later operation.

I use the G 1 filter here. Personally, I divide G-series filters into filters with relatively partial membranes, and it is relatively easy to get results by combining debugging.

The filter intensity of G 1 can basically be full, which is equivalent to the tuning mentioned in my previous tutorial. Next, all our steps will be completed on this tone.

The first step is to correct the exposure problem. My own idea of color matching here is to make it overexposed and create the feeling of Japanese highlights overflowing.

We can see that the original film and exposure of RAW are very harmonious, which is due to the tolerance of RAW, so even if you use your mobile phone for post-production, I suggest you choose the format of RAW for output.

A simple step brings the photo back to life, but the overall color level is not rich enough. Let's move on.

In order to preserve the image quality, I filled it up here. Students can decide according to their own film situation, and the sharpness of film style should be relatively moderate.

The purpose of adding color temperature is to make the feeling of gold under the side backlight richer and more in line with the field situation. You don't need much here, just add a little.

Since it is imitation film, it is necessary to add particles. Only three points are recommended here, and any more is unnatural.

HSL is a fine-tuning of each color. The chromaticity of red is orange to the right, which makes positive red orange-red, which conforms to the color characteristics of film, and reduces saturation to make it red and elegant.

Then turn the orange to the right, in order to make the skin color more yellow, close to the Asian skin color.

The adjustment of green is extremely important. The green color on the right makes the green plants greener and increases the saturation. This step is adjusted to be close to the green, rich and deep feeling of the film. After this step is completed, the effect of color matching is immediate.

The adjustment of blue chromaticity is mainly aimed at the color of clothing, making the big dress more like JK's navy blue; Reducing saturation makes the color elegant, and brightening the blue brightness makes it look less boring.

At this point, we have finished the color matching of VSCO, and then we can copy this preset in batches and paste it into other photos of the work.

Batch paste editing greatly reduces the retouching time. As long as the light perception of the scene is basically unified, the purpose of one-button color matching can be achieved.

After color adjustment, it can be liquefied and refined after batch export.

There are many apps for peeling and liquefaction. I am used to using Meitu Xiu Xiu and Tian Tian P.

Although there is a more powerful Facetune2, it belongs to paid software. If there are no particularly high requirements, the two models I use are enough, but the disadvantage is that there are too many advertisements.

Open the APP and select "thin face and slim down" to liquefy. Here, I moved the cheek and chin of the model.

Pot friends who are not good at post-treatment of facial skin can try the "facial remodeling" tool.

It can recognize the five senses and adjust the face one by one, but the personal feeling is definitely not as natural as its own.

The function of "removing dark circles" can reduce the bags under the eyes and make them look less deep. This tool has a soft retouching effect and is very easy to use.

The function of "peeling" can make skin smooth. For sister paper with good skin, the lighter the strength, the better, otherwise it will reduce the texture.

I have tried many typesetting apps. Generally speaking, it is no problem to complete some primary typesetting with mobile phones at present. But if you want to get rid of beautiful daily necessities, you still have to use the computer PS.

Here I can barely achieve the effect with butter +MOLDIV. In addition, if you have a good typesetting APP, you are welcome to add it to the message.

After selecting the butter text template, you can also freely adjust the font style, color, size, paragraph, etc. Achieve your best results.

This requires a certain knowledge of graphic design when typesetting. Otherwise, you can directly refer to the relationship between characters and materials in the template.

Simply put, mobile phone typesetting is to make a single typesetting block by using various text templates in butter, and then import MOLDIV for splicing, so as to achieve the purpose of designing typesetting.

Enter MOLDIV, select series typesetting, and connect the sections exported by butter in series.

In this way, our typesetting effect has been achieved. You can connect more photos in series by analogy, and there is no limit to the length of typesetting photos with this APP.
