Chapter 198: You give me a gift and I also give me (4.2K, please subscribe and get monthly tickets)
How do photographers do post-production photo editing?
Simply put, it is to try to make it look good if you don’t look good.
The specific points are to adjust the color difference, brightness, and saturation, highlight the subject, change the proportion, correct the distortion, emphasize the connotation of the photo story, etc.
For portraits, you may also have to beautify them.
It’s not as simple as one-click beauty. It needs to go from overall whitening to facial flaw removal, breast enhancement and weight loss, eye highlights, etc.
Although the work is cumbersome, professional photo editing teachers are also paid low. Portrait refining costs 10 yuan per picture. Some people who like to reduce the price of intra-coiling, and they are willing to repair each picture of 5 yuan per picture.
Just learn, learn every time and say nothing.
When I get more than 10,000 yuan a month, I guess my eyes will be almost 800 degrees myopia.
At this time, Hasselblad’s value is reflected.
The reason why Hasselblad is called "Cutting God" is because it has 100 million pixels, which allows photographers to take bold shots without spending too much effort on composition, and then obtain the picture they want through post-cutting.
To a certain extent, it can greatly compensate for the lack of photography technology.
Chen Jingle's aesthetic taste is online. With the help of top-notch equipment, the photos taken are naturally not much worse.
So the post-photo editing work is much simpler.
What he wants to do now is to first select a batch of quality-approved from so many photos, and then use PS tools to make some detailed adjustments to make the photos perfect.
As a result, the more I pick it, the more confused I become.
I feel that there are a lot of photos above the passing line. "This is troublesome." Chen Jingle took a deep breath.
It means that his workload in screening pictures is much greater than expected.
It's like picking fine items from a pile of jewelry, which is much more difficult than picking gems from a pile of stones.
What do you think of it as good as that? Of course, there is a reason why Li Beixing looks good.
I can only choose slowly.
Fortunately, even if you can't call it a pleasure, it won't be torture.
At this time, I have to admire those professional photo editing teachers and those photography teachers in the comic exhibition.
…
It’s really not that Chen Jingle bragged himself. The photos taken today are indeed very good.
He is a supporter of content over composition.
A photo with connotation and sense of story does not need to be repaired.
Because the content that the picture wants to express is better than everything else. No matter how you practice, the audience's attention is on the subject and will not pay attention to those irrelevant details at all.
After the film is released, people will be surprised, and such a photo is successful.
Some of the photos of the works of the gods are taken casually on the Internet, some rely on inspiration and creativity, and some rely on chance. But without exception, they are all works with great connotation and storylines.
For example, in the documentary of Big Pants last year, a photo became popular all over the Internet.
The worker pulling goods with his upper body naked to the left, and the white Porsche to the right. The title of the video is "Making money with strength can make peace."
It has both connotation and composition.
What is this not a magical work?
When there is no particularly good content, you can create a sense of connotation and story through composition.
Like the picture mentioned above, the comparison composition method is used, which is also the simplest and most common composition method. Through comparison, it highlights the main content of the picture and strengthens the message the author wants to express.
The same common comparisons include the elderly and children, black and BC city and rural areas, advanced and backward, etc.
New photographers can check out more photos of the god-level online to ensure that their experiences are rising.
The many photos Chen Jingle took for Li Beixing today, except for each of them satisfying the three elements of portraits, there is no shortage of light composition and picture atmosphere and story sense.
Not necessarily every picture has these factors, but most photos basically have several types.
It can be seen that he did not do it perfunctorily when shooting.
Even if you adjust the light and color saturation, it will at most add icing on the cake, which will not improve the photo itself qualitatively.
So, he had to create two new folders, the first one was after preliminary screening, and the second one was to sift through the first one again.
The so-called careful selection is this process.
It must be admitted that in addition to being good-looking, Li Beixing is also very photogenic.
Because some people look good in reality, they give people a very average feeling in the camera, and they are completely different from themselves.
This is not called photogenic.
…
Chen Jingle picked a few photos he felt satisfied with and sent them to Li Beixing first.
Li Beixing replied in seconds: "Is this me?!"
"Is it me not you?" Chen Jingle smiled.
Li Beixing was surprised: "You made me look so beautiful, it's a bit unreal."
In the photo, she has bright eyes and white teeth, a bright and unpretentious smile, and is filled with an emotion called happiness from the inside out. Even herself, the first time she saw this photo, was attracted by the content conveyed by the photo.
Is it beautiful?
beautiful!
Stunningly beautiful!
It's much better than her usual selfies!
So that Li Beixing was secretly shocked. Is this the difference between amateur and professional?
Chen Jingle teased, "The first time I saw someone who praised me so shamelessly."
Li Beixing: "???" Why did he boast about himself?
Chen Jingle said, "I haven't started practicing."
Uh, I'm embarrassed.
She thought these pictures had been fixed.
Li Beixing was a little stunned and asked, "Then do you still need to practice this kind of thing?"
Chen Jingle replied: "You can practice, or you can not practice. Even if you practice, you just need to deal with the details, and the main part does not need to be moved."
Li Beixing really didn't see any details that need to be repaired: "I think this is good, and it's okay to post it directly on WeChat Moments. It's really good to take a photo!"
"Isn't you good-looking?"
"You said this, making me embarrassed. I feel like we are bragging each other in business, it's so fake, hahaha."
Li Beixing was a little shy, but he was happy, and couldn't help but smile foolishly.
Chen Jingle asked, "Do you want to make up the nine-grid when posting on WeChat Moments?"
"Yes!"
"OK, wait."
Chen Jingle picked up a few more photos from the second folder and sent them to her, and got enough of nine photos.
There are materials to post to your Moments.
Li Beixing was also not vague, and uploaded it immediately and edited the copy, "It was you who made my world turn pink from that moment."
Click to post!
After posting, my face was a little hot. "Will this... be too obvious?" He hurriedly buried his head in the pillow.
On the other end of the Internet, Chen Jingle refreshed his circle of friends and saw Li Beixing's new updates.
Well, the background of the photo is pink strange kapok, and there is nothing wrong with this copywriting.
What people are most taboo is to over-interpret others' behavior, which leads to misjudgment, creates illusions, and ultimately leads to both parties being embarrassed.
Please like it first.
…
This circle of friends has been posted in less than 10 minutes, and the number of people who like it exceeded 100.
After all, Li Beixing has been very popular since childhood and has never lacked attention in life.
Most of the comments are praised for her good looks.
Some people also asked where this was taken.
The flowers are beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful!
When Zhou Manlin saw Li Beixing's Moments post, she was surprised and asked her privately: "Where did you look for a photographer? You did a good job."
In her opinion, these photos truly restore Li Beixing's appearance, and even have some different feelings from reality.
In short, beautiful!
Li Beixing replied with a smile: "I picked it up by the roadside."
"I will pick it up, so I will pick one too." Zhou Manlin raised her eyebrows.
Li Beixing: "You can't pick it up. / Smile"
Zhou Manlin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did Chen Jingle take it for you?"
Li Beixing replied with a blushing and shy expression. "..." She really guessed it.
Chen Jingle has such technology?
He really knows everything?
The photos are so beautiful, so I must have taken pretty girls a lot, right? Tsk!
Zhou Manlin was convinced and asked curiously: "When did you two go out to take pictures?"
"Just this afternoon." Li Beixing did not hide it.
Zhou Manlin blinked when she thought of the pile of express delivery she received only at noon today.
I originally thought I would give Chen Jingle a gift, but now I suddenly don’t really want to. No reason.
"Forget it, let's give it away, so that people won't think I'm a stingy person." Zhou Manlin muttered in a low voice.
One code and another code.
When when Jiang Zhiqin saw this update of her daughter, she clicked on the photo and saw an ominous premonition in her heart.
As a person who has experienced it, she is so familiar with this feeling.
The smile on my daughter's face was clearly telling others that it was in the passionate love period.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
So, were these photos taken by that boy for her?
The shots were really good.
I just don’t know if they have done anything else besides taking photos, and what specific development they have.
Jiang Zhiqin took a deep breath and asked her daughter on WX: "Is the strange kapok in the park open?"
When he saw his mother sending a message, Li Beixing was immediately panicked.
Oh no!
Forgot to block your parents!
"It's over, it's over now, wuwuwu..."
Li Beixing's face was buried in the pillow, and he couldn't imagine how he would face his parents next.
What if my mother asks, how should I reply?
Do you want to continue lying?
Oh, it's so annoying.
After sighing, he could only answer his mother's words with a slight tone. Gu Zuo said to him, vaguely speaking, pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Exposure is impossible to expose, so I will firmly conceal it to the end!
Ask is an ordinary friend!
…
Chen Jingle can't understand Li Beixing's worries.
People like him may not post to Moments once a year or two.
The last time I posted it on Moments was the last time. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, I wrote a few words and took photos to post them online.
Including the "Stop reading, there is nothing in the circle of friends", there are only two news items in total.
Don't even think of spy on his life through his circle of friends.
There is a persistent update on the shaking hands.
I will post some calligraphy and painting practice works every day, relying on quality to increase my fans. The number of fans is increasing every day, and now it has exceeded 10,000.
The growth rate is much faster than expected.
At this moment, I can be called a serious art blogger. Ha ha.
It can be seen that in the calligraphy track, it is still possible to increase fans by making content. Although it has not increased much, it is better for others to increase quickly by relying on their figure and by touching their edges.
However, there are many users who want to buy calligraphy and paintings for him. Compared with the beginning, there are more and more people, but he has not had much time lately and he has declined one by one.
"Wait until you're free, then consider taking orders."
Chen Jingle thought.
It is OK to rest, but it is not easy to rest for too long. Even if you don’t take orders, you will write and draw normally, but the degree of seriousness is different.
Since that's the case, you might as well take one or two orders occasionally to earn some pocket money.
Especially at the end of the year, I consider taking more orders before the New Year to make more money, so that it is better to have a fat year. This way you can have a good rest during the Chinese New Year.
I got off the beat and continued to focus on editing pictures.
If Chen Jingle wants to be lazy, he actually doesn't need to practice it at all. Even if he suspects that he has practiced it, Li Beixing can't see it.
However, with a serious and responsible attitude, he decided to make some decision.
Striving for excellence.
You must do things as you do.
Putting aside the time spent taking a bath, it took two and a half hours from selection to finishing the photo editing.
Chen Jingle is slow to edit pictures, efficiency is not the top priority, and it is natural and beautiful to cultivate!
If you take good photos, you must also practice them well. You cannot destroy the original photos.
After the repair, he sent the file package to Li Beixing.
Say: "I personally think the photos were good, and the 9 photos I sent to you were 45 of them in total, all of which were repaired."
"So quickly?" Li Beixing was surprised.
Chen Jingle said: "It's not difficult to edit a picture, but the screening process is more troublesome. Let's see how the effect is. If you are not satisfied, leave me a message and change it tomorrow. Now I'm going to go to bed."
"Okay, good night~"
"Yes, good night."
Li Beixing felt a little sorry for him and complained that he didn't say it just now, in fact, he was not in a hurry. He could take it slowly, which made him rush to work overnight just to help him repair the photos.
Thinking about this, she received the folder, unzipped it and opened it to read it.
I was surprised to find that every picture was carefully selected, not worse than the nine pictures she posted on WeChat Moments just now.
It can be said that if you post nine nine-cup grids every day in Moments, you can post them for another four days without any recurrence.
The key pictures are repaired very naturally, and there is no trace of modifications in specific places, which means that they are really attentive, not just one-click beauty.
I feel that even the art photo packages that cost tens of thousands of yuan in professional studios cannot produce this effect.
Don't be satisfied?
It doesn't exist!
So satisfied!
The original promise was to give Chen Jingle a gift, but now it seems that the amount of the gift seems to be a bit low. "What else should I give you?" Li Beixing fell into thinking.
She didn't plan to come back that Hasselblad.
Even if Chen Jingle is unwilling to accept it, she can put it there in the name of "lent him", so that she can ask him to help take photos and ask him out to play.
In addition, you have to give me something else.
The more he didn't want it, the more Li Beixing wanted to give it away.
…
the next day.
Chen Jingle woke up and saw Li Beixing's reply, saying that he was very satisfied and there was nothing to modify.
Seeing this, Chen Jingle didn't say anything, just be satisfied.
It is still a day to complete the schedule according to the system, exercise, hygiene, study, and practice.
Then make some delicious food at noon to reward yourself.
After eating and drinking, Chen Qiyun lay on a mahogany chair, touched her round belly, and said, "By the way, we are going to take the midterm exam this Thursday and Friday." Chen Jingle raised her eyes and looked at her: "Then how are you preparing?" Chen Qiyun tilted her head and thought, "I don't know." "It's okay if I don't know." Chen Jingle smiled.
Chen Qiyun was not ashamed at all: "I just don't know. The grades of the classroom test are OK, but I have never taken the formal exam. I don't know if I have made any progress during this period, or how much progress has been."
"Do you have no accurate understanding of your own strength?"
"Then do you think I have made any progress?"
"Yes, not only has, but also has made great progress." Chen Jingle affirmed.
Chen Qiyun was immediately happy. With this sentence, she felt that she should be able to perform well this time.
After all, judging from her usual grades, her efforts over the past period have achieved good results.
After Chen Qiyun left, Chen Jingle washed a pear and prepared to go upstairs to take a nap after eating.
At this moment, Zhou Manlin sent a message: "Are you free in the afternoon?"
