Second, the curve tool. This tool is actually the best tool in Photoshop. It can not only brighten and dim, but also correct and adjust colors. Use the curve tool to "gray" the photo, increase the contrast, fix a central point, highlight the highlights, and press down the dark parts, and the photo will become clear immediately. Of course, the situation of each photo is different, and the specific values should be practiced repeatedly and adjusted according to the actual situation.
Third, the brightness/contrast tool. This tool is the easiest to use. Just drag the contrast slider to set it. As for the effect, because the data cannot be analyzed in detail, there is a gap between the above two methods, which is suitable for beginners.
Fourth, optional color tools. This tool is mainly used for color matching. It is amazing to fine-tune the photos with the tool of "optional colors" to make them appear more layered to some extent. It may be difficult for a novice to master, so you can wait for other methods to be proficient before thinking slowly.
Verb (short for verb) Gao Fancha keeps tools. "Gao Fancha Preserving" means that where there is a strong color transition, the edge details are preserved within the specified radius, while the rest of the image is not displayed. Simply put, a photo is blurred, and some can't be seen clearly. After using "Gao Fancha Reservation", the grade will come out at a glance. This tool is very powerful, but it is also very complicated to use. There are several ways:
1. Soft light method. Copy a layer, and select the "Gao Fancha Preserve" tool in the "Other" item in the "Filter" menu. The radius can be set around 1, depending on the size and clarity of the picture. Select "Soft Light" in the layer options after confirmation, or press "Ctrl+J" to copy an enhanced effect, and finally merge the layers.
2. superposition method. Copy a layer, select the adjustment option from the image drop-down menu, find the decoloring tool in it, and then make Gao Fancha reservation for this layer. Select overlay in the layer options after confirmation, and the opacity can also be adjusted appropriately. Finally, merge the layers.
Sixth, sharpening tools. From the name of this tool, we know that it is the most direct. "Sharpening" is usually the last step before the whole photo is adjusted and stored, and it can be divided into the following methods:
1.USM sharpening. Open a photo and copy a layer. Select USM sharpening from the sharpening item in the filter drop-down menu. The value is 87 and the radius is 0.3. This data will be adjusted according to the actual situation of the picture. If the value is too large, the photo will be "destroyed".
2. further sharpening. If the USM effect is not obvious enough, the enhancement effect can be further sharpened.
3. Intelligent sharpening. This tool is also very easy to use and can be fine-tuned based on the default settings.
4. Sharpen the smear tool. There is also a Sharpen Tool in the shortcut menu. When in use, just apply it directly to the place that needs sharpening, and the effect is very general.
