A Suitable for photos with magical effects
Generally speaking, beautiful white gauze skirts and children's dresses of various colors are more suitable for photos with magical effects, and various insect-shaped costumes are also good. In addition, for babies under 1 year old, it is also a good idea to add wings to the cute baby's naked body. In the same way, natural scenery or solid color backgrounds are also more suitable for photos that are post-processed to create magical effects.
B Not suitable for photos with magical effects
In terms of clothing styling, more fashionable styles and clothing with more fashionable styles are not suitable for magical effects, such as jeans, dresses, etc.
In terms of photo scenes, more modern scenes are not suitable for magical effects, such as urban gardens, parks, etc.
C Issues needing attention
During the production process, we not only have to pay attention to the response between the baby and the scene, but also the connection between the shape and color, and try to ensure the integration of the overall effect of the photo. Technically, it is best to use a mask operation to protect the original image and facilitate modification. In addition, we must first have a creative idea before production, and then select materials for production based on this idea, and pay attention to the response of various materials.
Angel baby in the garden
A little princess, wearing a pure white princess dress, was sitting leisurely on a bench in the park, stretching her little feet, looking cute and cute. If you can add some magical effects, such as adding a pair of angel wings to her, and adding some magical light spots to put the little princess in a magical garden, that would be perfect (as shown in Figure 1)! Below We will teach you how to achieve it step by step.
Custom brushes to make angel wings
You may think that angel wings are difficult to make. In fact, we only need to find a suitable picture of a bird spreading its wings, and then make it into a custom brush. It can be made very easily!
First find a picture of a bird spreading its wings, preferably with a simple background, so that we can extract the prototype of the wings (as shown in Figure 2). After finding a suitable photo, use the cropping tool to cut out a relatively complete wing. Next comes a little bit of wing work.
Observe the cropped wing image. If you use the magic wand tool to directly select the area where the wings are located, it will not only be troublesome, but also the edges will produce a relatively rigid jagged effect, so here we use channels to process it. Because channels can be used to accurately filter out unnecessary information and elements in the picture.
Observe the three channels of red, green and blue. The contrast between the wings and the background in the red channel is the most obvious, then copy the red channel to the red copy channel (as shown in Figure 3).
