How is such a magical repair effect achieved?
1. First copy one or several layers of the original image (when using layer properties, copy 1 or 2 layers, and then merge them), and only do * on the copied layer.
2. After preliminary processing of the copied layer (adjust curves and levels or use layer properties to brighten dark images)
3. Then copy the preliminary arrangement of the picture to a layer (used to cut out the human figure), and use the following layer as the background and comparison.
4. Click out the eyes on the lower two layers and cut out the uppermost layer (generally use the deletion method: use different methods to select parts other than the portrait and gradually delete them. For example, use a pen [ctrl+mouse click path] to convert curved areas into a selection. ]; Generally, use a straight line lasso, and use a magnetic lasso if the edges are clear. If it is a solid color background, use a magic wand or select a color range. [Before, you can copy a layer of color levels, or you can invert it as an auxiliary, and then Delete this layer], there are many methods [such as channels, etc. - Tianshi is not commonly used])
5. Use the stamp and repair tool (I rarely use it) and your fingers (used to deal with large meshes, change the shape and size, and pull hair) to repair and polish the tattered and dirty parts of the photo. (For particularly bad places, you can copy symmetrical or similar places and transplant them [——use the lasso tool to select, feather "alt+s,f", copy to layer "ctrl+j", free transform "ctrl+t" ", after placing it in the approximate position, you can change the transparency of the layer {mainly used to copy the precise positions of eyes, mouth, etc.}: usually 50%, then adjust the position accurately, and then color adjust the layer - if necessary Then adjust it so that it is similar to the surroundings, and finally merge it downwards with "ctrl+e", stamp processing], use the stamp to carefully process the facial features, increase the brush size, set the stamp transparency to a small point [about 30%], and follow the direction of the facial muscles Continuous smearing [note that it is not a point but a drag])————For those with mesh, you can combine it with Gaussian blur
6. For clothes, you don’t have to be so detailed (if you have enough time, you can be more careful). Tianshi usually copies the clothes to a layer to facilitate coloring and adjustment later.
7. On the body alone, there is a dark or color cast. . . . Wait for some adjustments before making adjustments, especially the facial features (sometimes hand-painted).
8. Soften the edges and pull the hair with your fingers
9. Coloring (if coloring is required): Generally press ctrl+b, so that the coloring will be natural and vivid. If the picture is too dirty, use "ctrl+u" to color, and then adjust the all-round color.
10. After completing the portrait, merge the visible layers, click on the background layer’s eyes (the ones just now also need to be processed), or change the background. Perform portrait background fusion processing (making the background new, old, blurred, etc., with unified colors and consistent lighting).
11. Create a new layer and fill it with white. Filter (add noise, how much depends on your image resolution), set the decolorization layer mode to Multiply.
12. Merge the layers, use Gaussian blur of about 0.5, and USM sharpening.
13. If you want to add a foreground, add a border or the foreground of the picture - you can experiment with various layer modes to blend it into the photo.
