We often see clouds processed into blue-green-green effects in some Korean pictures, which are very cute. In fact, it is very simple to process with Photoshop.
1. This is a photo taken with a mobile phone. We open it with Photoshop and duplicate a layer.
2. Do some smoothing processing on the photos,
It is recommended to use NeatImage plug-in filter for noise reduction processing.
Neat Image is a powerful professional image noise reduction software that is very suitable for processing digital photos that are underexposed and produce a lot of noise, minimizing external interference on the photos. Neat Image is easy to use and has a concise and easy-to-understand interface. The noise reduction process is divided into four steps: opening the input image, analyzing image noise, setting noise reduction parameters, and outputting the image. Output images can be saved in TIF, JPEG or BMP format.
Preview, adjust appropriate parameters and click Apply.
Get the denoised layer:
3. Copy another layer, right-click and select convert to smart object, execute Filter-Blur-Gaussian Blur, radius 2.4.
4. Select the upper layer and add a mask to the smart object layer.
Select the mask. At this time, the foreground color changes to black. Use a brush to smear the clouds that need to be clear on the image, that is, cover the cloud parts of the layer that do not need to be blurred. Get the following effect.
5. The above is to deal with the hazy effect. If you are not satisfied, finally we can directly click Gaussian Blur under the smart layer to adjust the radius. Next is color adjustment.
Create a new adjustment layer: Brightness/Contrast.
Create a new adjustment layer: Color Balance
mid tone
shadow
Highlights
6. Create a new adjustment layer: Curves
Create a new adjustment layer: Hue, Saturation, Increase Lightness
Create a new adjustment layer: Levels and make slight adjustments.
At this time, the following effect is obtained
7. If you don’t like this color tone very much, you can double-click the adjustment layer to modify the hue or color balance and make subtle adjustments until you get an effect that satisfies you.
Next we will simply add a sunlight transmission effect.
Let's simply add a sunlight transmission effect. Hold down shift to select all the previous layers, copy them, and flatten them. Convert them to smart objects. The reason for this is so that we can better control the filter effect and can modify it at any time without having to redo it all.
Go to Filter-Blur-Radial Blur
Then change the opacity of the layer.
Then add a mask and use a soft-edged brush to cover the middle clouds along the edges.
8. We can also add the text we want and set a simple glow effect. Then save the satisfactory picture in the format we like.
(Without radioactive effect)
