Mobile phone retouching uses these 1 gestures to dye, deepen, lighten and fill the light |Snapseed Tutorial 3

When retouching a mobile phone in the later stage, there are generally three steps to adjust a photo:

The first step is the second composition, and 90% of the large pieces are cut;

The second step is the overall adjustment, including the adjustment of exposure, saturation, warm and cold tones, atmosphere and highlights. Remember: first set the tone and then set the color, first set the tone and then set the color. The important things have been said countless times, and the second step is to set the tone.

The third step of partial repair is to change the bad place.

The whole idea of mobile phone retouching is above. Next, let's talk about specific actual combat and solving skills for a certain problem.

It is also the practical application of Snapseed, and the power consumption is only 30% of the first three articles.

First of all, look at today's case, a landscape map, a fresh case just taken.

Basic treatment has been carried out in the early stage, and the contents of the first three sections are repeated: first, cutting-second, whole? Brightness? Contrast? Saturation? Highlights, cool colors and blue tones-finally remove stains on the lake.

Observe the picture, this picture is to express the feeling of sunshine and peace.

But because the lake and sky account for two-thirds of the picture, because of my early stage? Brightness? Contrast? Saturation? Highlights and a series of actions make the picture appear noisy and grainy.

Find out the problem: this landscape photo should look beautiful, not retro film texture, so the noise in a large area is abrupt and needs to be adjusted to be smoother and softer.

At this time, someone said, wouldn't it be nice if you wanted the water to be smooth, the sky to be natural and the contrast to be reduced? Let's try to adjust the picture first-reduce the contrast of the processing effect:

It can be seen that no matter fine-tuning or direct-100, the noise has not changed much. We have seen the effect and it is not feasible, but we still need to know the truth.

(Contrast is to adjust the contrast effect of the picture. Simply put, black is darker and white is whiter. Lowering the contrast is to make the white less white and the black less black. It needs to find a middleman-gray to adjust, which is why the picture is covered with gray. You can go back to tutorial 2 and review it. )

You can't adjust the contrast. I'll go on stage after you sing, and today's protagonist is here.

This paper introduces three adjustment skills of Snapseed3, highlighting details, parts and charm. The three functions have their own emphasis on the application effect, but they can all make the uneven, granular and noisy sky and water surface smooth and supple.

Next, operate one by one:

There are two functions: sharpening and structure, highlighting or weakening the detail edge of the shooting picture.

Click Tool-Click on the highlighted details, slide your finger up and down, and the structure/sharpening options will appear.

Choose the structure-100, and you can clearly see that the noise disappears in the picture below, and the picture reflection is softer and more natural. Smoothing the water or sky is such a step.

Conversely, if you want to deepen the contrast between the scenery and the building of a picture, but don't want to change the brightness of the picture, you can use the function of highlighting the details.

This function is rarely used by most people who use Snapseed to retouch pictures, but for local adjustment, its advantage is that it can automatically identify the same area, smear the sky and never touch the ground. But it's a bit complicated to use.

Click Tools —— Click this section and slide your finger up and down, and brightness, contrast, saturation and structure options will appear.

You can see the adjusted selection range by sliding two fingers on the screen. The power of the local tool is that it can automatically capture the same area and prevent adjustment to other parts that don't need adjustment.

Click the+sign in the lower left corner. After the icon turns blue, continue to click on the place you want to adjust, that is, add a+sign to the picture.

Then slide up and down to select one of brightness, contrast, saturation and structure, and slide the progress bar left and right to indicate deepening or darkening.

Select the structure and parameters here-100, and you can clearly see that the noise disappears.

On the contrary, which area do you want to deepen the brightness, saturation, contrast and structure, and adjust the parameters.

This function is similar to the long exposure in the later stage, which makes the edge of the picture blurred and weakened, which is very suitable for the post-processing of water flow and fog.

The disadvantage is that it can only be adjusted on the whole screen, and the local functions have not yet come out.

Click Tools-Click Charming Halo, and swipe up and down to see three options: Halo, Saturation and Warm Tone.

Select Halo here, and the parameter +58, you can see that the noise disappears, but due to the adjustment of the whole picture, the structure of trees and houses has also increased halo, which is not as clear as before.

On the contrary, we can go back to the second step here and adjust the structure of houses and trees to increase the level.

Finally, let's take a look at the comparison before and after:

Before adjustment:

After adjustment:

In the later stage of retouching, the first step is to add and then subtract. Only when you know first can you make a choice.

The seemingly lengthy skills, as long as they are mastered and familiar, can be extrapolated, interconnected and patched all the way, and eventually reduce unnecessary branches and form a very simple routine.
