How to deal with old photos?

There are many kinds of old photos. Some are wrinkled, some are blurred, some are discolored, some are scrubbed, and some even have their basic image destroyed. See what the landlord can do to solve them.

General habit of retouching old photos (steps):

1。 First copy one or several layers of the original image (1, copy two layers when using layer properties, and then merge), and only make the copied layers.

2。 After the initial process of copying a layer (tone curve, tone scale or brightening a dim picture with layer properties)

3。 Then copy a layer of preliminary layout (used to dig people's images), and the lower layer is used as background and control.

4。 Remove the eyes from the lower two layers, and matting the top layer (generally using deletion method: use different methods to select parts other than portraits and gradually delete them, such as using a pen where the curve is located.

[ctrl+ mouse point path converted to selection]; Generally, a straight lasso is used, and a magnetic lasso is used, so the boundary is clear. If it is a solid background, use magic wand or select a color range [before

In order to copy a color scale, you can also use it as an assistant in turn, and then delete the layer]. There are many methods [such as channels, etc. -Not commonly used in Shi Tian])

5。 Repair and polish the damaged and dirty parts of the photo with a poking tool (which I seldom use) and fingers (which are used to deal with large grids, change shapes and sizes, and pull hair). (For special

Don't rot, you can copy symmetrical or similar places and transplant them [-Select them with lasso tool, feather "alt+s, F", copy them as layer "ctrl+j", and freely transform "ctrl+t".

After putting it in the approximate position, you can change the transparency of the layer (mainly used to copy the exact position of eyes, mouth, etc.): generally 50%, then adjust the position accurately and then color the layer.

Deal with it-adjust it if necessary to make it close to the surrounding area. Finally, merge "ctrl+e" downwards and seal it], and carefully handle the five senses with a seal to increase the brush size and seal transparency.

Set a small spot [about 30%] and smear it continuously according to the facial muscle direction [Note that it is not a spot but a drag] —————————————————— For reticular lines, it can be combined with Gaussian blur.

6。 For clothes, you don't have to be so fine (you can be more careful if you have enough time). Shi Tian usually copies clothes into one layer for later coloring and adjustment.

7。 As far as the body is concerned, it is dark and color-biased. . . . And other places to adjust, especially the five senses (sometimes hand-painted).

8。 Soften the edges and pull your hair with your fingers.

9。 Coloring (if necessary): generally ctrl+b, so that the color is natural and vivid. If the picture is too dirty, color it with "ctrl+u" and adjust the color in all directions.

10。 After making a portrait, merge the visible layers, click on the background layer (which should also be processed just now), or change the background. Carry out portrait background fusion processing (making background

Do the old blur and other treatments. Color uniform lighting has).

1 1。 Create a new layer and fill it with white. Filter (add noise, depending on your image resolution), set the achromatic layer mode to positive overlay.

12。 When merging layers, Gaussian blur is around 0.5, and USM is sharpened.

13。 If you want to add a foreground, add a border, or the foreground of a picture-you can try various layer modes and incorporate them into the photo.
