Source: POCO Author: The Nutcracker Snow pictures are generally highlighted, making the characters’ faces look pale. When processing, you need to make the character's skin color rosy, and at the same time add some light blue to the picture, so that the picture will be much fresher.

1. Copy the background layer and generate a new layer. We need to modify the skin on the new layer. Remember not to operate directly on the background layer to avoid going back to the beginning if you make a mistake.
2. Use the imitation stamp tool, adjust the transparency to 20% or even lower, and copy a better color to cover the dark and acne-prone parts. This step is very basic and can be replaced by many tools. You can choose different ones according to your personal habits. tool.
3. The whole picture is very dark and the snow scene is not white. We brighten the tone of the whole picture. Also, pay attention to the position of the small black square at the bottom of the adjustment curve. The black pixels have been slightly moved to a position with a higher pixel peak. This step redefines the darkest part of the picture.
To adjust the fresh picture and color relationship, this step is very important. Open the optional colors and control the tendency of each color. Red: cyan -100, magenta -26, yellow -7, black +12.
5. Yellow: cyan-100, magenta-42, yellow-26, black-26; cyan: cyan +100; neutral colors: cyan-7, magenta-7, yellow-8, black-6; black: yellow- 22. Black +13. After adjusting these values, it is obvious that the picture is much lighter and more transparent.
6. The character’s face still looks a little heavy in the picture. Add a curve adjustment layer that only affects the character’s face and hair. Pay attention to the range in the mask. The effect is as shown in the picture. After this step, the picture is cleaner and the girl has become the absolute visual center. Sometimes when processing photos, it is such a small and inconspicuous step that changes the visual experience of the entire picture, so everyone must carefully control every step.
7. Small and fresh pictures always have a slight color tendency, which may be a bit exaggerated, but it plays a very good role in rendering emotions. The color temperature of the snow scene itself is relatively high and tends to appear blue. Here we adjust the cyan tendency in the white by selecting colors, and artificially process a light cyan blue.
