Simple and practical, aerial night scene later tutorial

It is not best to shoot at night when it is completely dark and the lights are completely bright. Unless necessary, the light in the dark is not good-looking, because the light ratio is large, the light is overexposed, and the place without light is black.

The basic principle of photography and other post-retouching steps will not be described in detail. PS CC 20 15, as the following explanation, only tells you how to do this step by step.

Take Nanjing Yuejiang Building as an example, please see the original picture:

The original picture shows AEB shooting mode with 3 lenses. The shooting data are as follows:

Step 1: Open adobe bridge cc and select three photos taken by AEB at the same time.

Step 2: Right-click one of the works, select Open, and transfer it to adobe camera raw for batch processing. The processing contents include the loading and correction of lens data and the elimination of lens purple edge.

Step 3: Click the hidden function key in the upper left corner to load and merge three AEB exposed images into HDR, and open the merged images.

Step 4: Click to open the picture, enter ps for processing, press and hold option+command+2 (win system Ctrl+alt+2) to select the highlight part of the picture, bring up the curve adjustment layer in the lower left corner, and fine-tune the highlight part of the picture.

Step 5: Press shift+option+command+e to stamp the layer (win is ctrl+shift+alt+e), and select "Filter" camera raw filter in the adjustment bar above to enter.

Step 6: Enter fx effect option, click "Remove Mist" and move the slider to the right until the picture effect is satisfactory. After that, you can go back to the "Basic" option and move the slider in the "Shadow" section slightly to the right to repair the loss of shadow details caused by removing the mist before.

Step 7: Click OK to enter ps, bring up "Quick Mask" in the left toolbar, enter the selection area, select the ground building and water surface, and then click the adjustment layer on the right to select the color scale, and adjust the established selection area according to personal preference.

Step 8: Make the final tone adjustment. Click the "Curve" adjustment layer in the adjustment layer on the right to adjust and increase the contrast of the image. Please refer to the curve in the figure for specific methods.

Step 9: After the image processing is completed, hold down shift+command+e to merge the layers, and hold down shift+option+command+s to save the images. Please refer to the diagram for specific values.
