Preface
It's been a month since the last time Xiaobai explained the PS introductory tutorial, and from today onwards, we will officially enter the primary PS tutorial.
The beginner tutorial is not too difficult, learn a little bit, and you will be proficient over time.
From today onwards, we may ignore some relatively simple operations when we explain, PS This skill must be tried by hand, not only can't you remember it, but you won't use it at all.
So the best way to learn PS is to get moving and play with Xiaobai! Just play and play.
The body begins
Today, let's talk about it: if the background and the color of the character's clothes are similar, how to cut out the main body of the character?
This tutorial also applies to objects, not just people, and focuses on similar colors.
For example, black and gray are very similar, and there are yellow and orange, orange and red. This may not be so easy for boys to understand, but it will definitely be easier for girls to understand. For example, lipstick, which is also red, may be bright red, vermilion, crimson, crimson, water red, orange, apricot red, pink, pink, rose red, rose inlay red, earth red, rust red, light pearl red, shell yellow red, purple red, ruby red, orange red, light pink, salmon red, scarlet, bright red, cardinal red, burgundy, gray rose, azalea red, jujube red, etc.
Today, let's find a picture with a young lady to try:
Import it into our PS:
There are many ways to import pictures to PS, the easiest is to copy the picture directly, then open PS, click [New] to appear the [Clipboard] option, and directly click [Create]
Once you're on this screen, press the shortcut key [Ctrl] + [V] to paste the image you just copied into it.
Let's start today's tutorial!
It's a good habit to start by duplicating one more layer
Select the young lady layer
按快捷键【Ctrl】+【J】，就会多一层小姐姐
Then turn off the background layer and the small eyes of the second layer
Add an adjustment layer
Click Create New Fill or Adjustment Layer on the Layer Control Panel
Select Brightness/Contrast
On the Layer Control Panel, when the cursor rests over the Brightness/Contrast layer, two sliders appear in the Properties Control Panel
Adjust the value of the Brightness/Contrast property
This adjustment does not say how much to adjust, basically adjust the two adjustment parameters in opposite directions, generally the brightness is adjusted to the maximum, and the contrast is adjusted to the lowest.
The young lady who will see the picture has become obvious
Select the body
Then click [Select] - [Subject]
After a little waiting, the dotted box will appear, and the young lady is selected
Click Add Mask
The last step is to operate on the [Layer Control Panel], and first select the layer of the young lady with small eyes
Then click the Mask button on the Layer Control Panel
In this way, the young lady was picked out.
Finally, don't forget to hide the [Brightness/Contrast] adjustment layer you just added!
--End--
The whole process is not very simple! Cutouts aren't a problem anymore!
This cutout method is suitable for those pictures where the subject is similar to the color of the background and the border is not obvious. If you use the magic wand or quick selection tool to select the area directly in the picture of the young lady just now, there will be a box selection error area caused by the selection boundary is not obvious.
