How to color ordinary landscape photos, PS tutorial

hello , Hello everyone , Today, I'll bring you a tutorial of landscape color matching , The original film is a very ordinary photo , The purpose of our later stage is “ save ” This ordinary photo , Reflect the color of the original film .

Let's look at the comparison chart

Analysis methods

First, let's analyze the original film , Put aside the color, let's first look at the relationship between black and white and gray , The overall picture is a little gray , Especially in the dark part of the grass, it's a little dark , The details of the dark side are not very clear .

The color problem is the most , First look at the sky , The blue of the sky is a little gray , It's a gray blue feeling , It's mainly about lightness and saturation , Therefore, the saturation and brightness of the sky should be adjusted in the later stage .

The green of the grass with the dark black is a little dark green , It gives people a dull feeling , So in the later stage, you can directly change green to warm — Yellow orange , In this way, the warm color gives people a sense of vitality , First, the warm color contrasts with the blue cool color of the sky , Warm and cold contrast is a very important and commonly used technique in landscape color matching .

This picture is our later thinking , Our ultimate goal of drawing revision is to realize this drawing .

camera raw The first tune

Conduct PS Interface , Now filter —cameraraw Adjust the filter .

First, adjust the dark part to blacken , Improve the shadow and black to find the details of the dark part , Make the dark part clear .

Color adjustment

This step of adjustment is to achieve the previous purpose of the picture , Get into HSL Tools to adjust .

In hue ： Turn yellow 、 green 、 The hue of light green changes to a warm color — Yellow orange .

Saturation ： Raise yellow 、 Green saturation , Improving can improve the brightness of the picture color , It can also achieve a kind of ash removal effect .

Brightness ： The grass is black in green and yellow , So improve their brightness . The blue of the sky is a little gray , So reduce the brightness of blue and find the blue details of the sky .

 

HSL After adjustment , Enter camera calibration to adjust the overall color ,HSL It is to adjust a certain color alone .

Red primary color ： Move towards orange and yellow , It can achieve the purpose of yellowing .

Green primary color ： Move in the Yellow direction , Make the overall picture less green .

Blue primary color ： Move towards cyan , Originally, the sky was a little purple , Moving towards cyan can make the sky blue .

After the adjustment ： The yellow of the grass has come out , The blue of the sky also began to come out .

The yellow of the grass has come out , The blue of the sky also began to come out . But the sky is a little yellow , The saturation of blue is not enough , And the grass is still a little green , So here we go PS The main interface uses the color balance tool to adjust the color .

Choose yellow to adjust the grass , Add red to yellow — That is, green reduction .

Choose cyan and blue to adjust the sky color , The purpose of the parameter is to reduce yellowness — That is, add blue , Raise the blue of the sky .
