A football game where someone enjoys the process and someone pays attention to the result. Just like the art of photography, some people pay attention to shooting, and some people are obsessed with post-production.
Retouching is a process, and the process is very enjoyable and fascinating.
Retouching occupies a very important place in the creation of photography. It is not only a simple retouching of a photo, but also a key link for photographers to express their creative intentions and improve their visual effects through retouching.
First of all, fix the shooting flaws. Due to the creative environment, equipment limitations, shooting technology or other uncontrollable factors, it is impossible to achieve the original photo in one step, and most of the works have problems such as exposure, color, and composition in the early shooting.
Post-editing can help correct these imperfections as much as possible, bringing the photo closer to the photographer's intended result.
Second, enhance the visuals. In the later stage, you can adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and level of the photo, especially the works taken by mobile phones, and the first four items should be appropriately strengthened to enhance the visual effect of the photo and make it more attractive to the audience.
Third, improve creative expression. Post-retouching is not only a technical correction, but also a stage for the photographer's creative expression. Through post-processing, photographers can create visual effects that are not achievable with conventional shooting, such as HDR, black and white tones, double exposure, glamorous halos, pictorial effects, AI technology, and more.
This issue focuses on the use of AI technology to play with pictures.
Fourth, convey the emotion of the work. Color plays a crucial role in emotional expression, it not only enhances the emotional atmosphere, but also has symbolic meaning.
The adjustment of color and light and shadow can greatly affect the emotional atmosphere of the photo and make the viewer have a psychological effect. Post-editing can help photographers better convey the emotions and stories behind their photos.
In short, photography creation is a complete enjoyment process, and post-retouching is an important part of photography creation, which can make the photos more perfect to present the photographer's creativity and emotion, and enhance the artistic value and appreciation of the photos.
