Just like martial arts masters have their own special skills to make a living, there are also four secrets hidden in Photoshop's plane synthesis process. We use Photoshop's deepening tool to make it possible to "catch whales with a fishing rod". The secret weapons are the all-encompassing polygonal lasso tool, the blur filter, a powerful back-creation tool, the burn tool, and the mask tool that allows different materials to be seamlessly blended together. Although the synthesis effects vary widely, the most commonly used ones are none other than these four secret weapons.
In this article, we use Photoshop’s burn tool to make it possible to “catch a whale with a fishing rod”.
This is an advertisement for a certain brand of fishing rods. It tells customers that if you use this brand of fishing rod, you can even catch whales. This fishing rod can truly be called "the best rod in the world", and its exaggerated expression techniques always make people smile.
Secret weapon (burning tool): When new objects are added to the scene, the light and shadow will change. For example, shadows appear under the belly of a whale. Light and shadow are important factors in expressing three-dimensionality and texture. Using the burn tool to create shadows is a common method for creating shadows during compositing. The improved deepening tool in Photoshop CS4 adds a "color protection" function, making the shadows more realistic and credible.
