Use of photography color cards
Using the Deta48 color card as an example, the tutorial was as follows: 1. ** Color card selection considerations **: Color cards are generally divided into 24 and 48. Usually, 24 color cards can meet the needs of general shooting and high-saturation color correction. If one wanted to restore the detailed colors more accurately, and there were more portraits, there was a need for high and low saturation color correction. The 48-color card was more suitable. 2. ** Datacolor 48's structural features **: Datacolor 48's appearance is a foldable box. There are 1/4 male and female joints at the top and bottom. The 1/4 joint of the external tripod is hidden. When it is used, push the side slide outwards to expose it. When it is not used, it will automatically retract. The inside was a left-right split structure. The right side was the same as the ordinary 24-card, while the left side had 24 color blocks of skin color, gray scale, near white, and near black. It was suitable for portrait shooting and low saturation correction. The back of the two color cards were gray-scale blocks used to adjust the white balance of the camera. The left and right color cards were fixed by a magnetic frame, and there were magnetic contacts inside for easy flipping. There were special notches on the top and bottom of the color card to prevent displacement. 3. ** Software installation **: The Datacard website provides the SpyderCheck software for the 48-color card. There are two versions of the software, which can be downloaded on demand. Read more exciting novels for free
Color photography classic
Color is a very important factor in photography. The following are some classic points of color photography: 1. * * Color matching tool-color wheel **: The color wheel can be used to obtain different color collision effects. Through the use of complementary colors, contrasting colors, similar colors, and color contrast, the high-level feeling was reflected. 2. * * Color and Emotions **: - Red represented energy, excitement, passion, and anger. - Orange conveyed warmth, happiness, and enthusiasm. - Yellow meant cheerful, friendly, and creative. - Green represented calmness, nature, balance, and growth. - Blue gave people a sense of tranquility, coldness, sadness, and trust. - Purple contained spirituality, mystery, and luxury. - Magenta represents innovation, transformation, and non-standard. 3. * * Shooting Practice and Techniques **: - * * Tri-color shooting **: For example, red, yellow, and blue colors can be used in different environments and subjects (such as nature, architecture, landscape, city, and portraits). - * * Similar Color Shooting **: Use the same color system with different saturation and brightness to make the picture have a sense of layering and space. - * * Complementing Color Shooting **: Complementing colors not only have visual impact, but also can achieve a coordinated effect. If used properly, it won't appear out of place. - * * Single Color or Split Color **: Sometimes you can consider using a single color tone or adding other color elements to a single color tone, such as "a little red in a green bush", or use different colors to split the picture. - * * Foreground and background color contrast **: Use the combination of the front and background colors to create the visual depth of the depth of field in the image. The more saturated the red, orange, or yellow color is, the more dominant it will be in the image. 4. * * Color Control Principle **: - There had to be a main and secondary, bright and dark, and light and light, forming a contrast so that the photo had layers. For example, when shooting flowers, if there were many types of flowers in the scene, only a few flowers of the same color could be shot to highlight the main body. - Make the photos simple and controllable. Try to unify the colors as much as possible, or use the same color system. For example, one could choose to shoot natural scenery in the evening, where the sun would give the scenery a uniform color. One could also use the same color scenery as the background, and focus on the main body behind the large aperture to achieve a contrast between reality and reality, or unify the background color. - Under normal circumstances, try not to have more than three colors in the main body of the photo, otherwise it would easily look messy and have no focus. 5. * * Color adjustment **: - You can add a color correction filter or a gnd filter when shooting. - Use various color toning software for color innovation or correction. For example, the mobile photo retouching software Vsco could adjust the color of the photo by adjusting HTL (hue, saturation, brightness). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Dual-color photography
Dual-color photography was a photography method that used dual-color temperature (hue) effects. It was difficult to encounter dual-color temperature environments in natural environments. Usually, dual-color temperature images could only be shot at night when the artificial environment light source was complex or indoors, and the distance between different color temperature light sources was close. When shooting outdoors or indoors, there was a chance to shoot dual-color temperature images when the environmental light sources of different color temperatures were close to each other. You can use a flash plus a filter or use some continuous lights that can change the color temperature to create a dual color temperature effect. When shooting with a continuous light source, if the continuous light source is too bright, the model's eyes will not be able to open. At this time, the brightness should be adjusted to the intensity of the eyes, and then slightly increase the sensitivity, increase the aperture, and slow down the shutter speed to obtain a brighter exposure value. However, in this way, under the large aperture and slow shutter speed, pay attention to accurate focus and avoid shaking the hand; When the environmental light source is weak and the model is far away from the light source, it is also necessary to increase the sensitivity, increase the aperture, and slow down the shutter speed to obtain a higher exposure value. If you use a high-wattage flash for shooting, you can overcome the things that need to be paid attention to when shooting with a continuous light. Some mobile phones, such as the Oppo Find X, added a two-color light effect in portrait mode, allowing them to take photos with unique styles. In addition, there were photography lights with dual color temperature (3200k-5600k) design like the Tukuang PT -24B dual-color shadowless LED photography light. It used a patch lamp bead to switch between cold and warm colors without significantly reducing the brightness. Through the function adjustment button, it was easy to play with the dual-color temperature without changing the camera settings, greatly increasing the playability of photography. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Color powder photography
Color powder could be used for photography. For example, in 2019, a photographer tried to shoot with color powder in a studio. In photography, color powder could create a unique visual effect. For example, when taking a photo of a beautiful woman, the shutter could be pressed at the moment of color powder, and the photo could be taken directly after special processing. In addition, in some activities such as Changsha's "Color Powder Battle" at the World's Window and the Rainbow Run at the graduation season of Happy Valley in Wu Han, the elements of color powder and photography were integrated, providing colorful and energetic materials for photography. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Portrait photography color matching
There were the following techniques for portrait photography: 1. ** Prominent main character **: You can make the main character more prominent in the screen through movement or color. For example, in a yellow environment, let the subject wear black clothes, a gray hat, and black shoes. This way, the character in the picture would attract the attention of the viewer. 2. ** Use good embellishments **: Embellishment is very important in portrait photography. For example, in a warm environment, the subject painted red lips and held a bubble machine with pink edges. The bubbles sprayed out could be shot into stars under the light. These embellishments could make the photo less rigid and more spiritual. 3. ** Use different colors **: Use different colors to form a contrast. For example, if the background was light yellow, the character's hair was dark yellow, and the clothes were cyan, the contrast between cyan and the light yellow background could add a little cool effect on the warm basis, making the photo more intense, the primary and secondary relationship clear, and the picture had content. 4. ** Use the colors given by natural light **: The colors given by natural light can create an overall atmosphere. If you want the photo to be warmer, you can take it in the evening; if you want the light to be softer, you can use a black filter. The person being photographed and the surrounding environment should play the role of embellishing the picture. You can also add embellishments such as red flowers to make the photo look better. 5. ** Use matching colors **: Let the color of the subject's clothes be related to the color of the scenery in the background that attracts the viewer's attention. For example, the background is red flowers, and the subject wears a red hat and a red skirt. This will make the subject more related to the background and make the picture more harmonious. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Commercial photography, color proofing
In commercial photography, in order to reduce color deviation, some professional auxiliary equipment can be used for color correction. For example, a color correction instrument could be used. It could effectively reduce the difference in color and color temperature, allowing the photos taken by the camera to accurately display the color. In commercial shooting scenes, it could display the actual color of the product in detail. Datacolor's color cards (such as 24-color cards and 48-color cards) could also be used for color correction. The 24-color side could be used to correct colors, and the 6-level gray card on the other side could be used to adjust color levels. The largest area of standard 18-degree gray could be used to adjust the white balance on the spot. When shooting a portrait, the model could hold the gray card and take a photo before taking a regular shot. It was convenient for later toning to accurately control the white balance. The adjustment process required the user to download and install the adjustment program from Datacolor's official website. When using the color card, the user needed to pay attention to protecting it from being damaged. The RAW format photo containing the color card was imported into the lighting room, and the area of the color card was cropped. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Taobao photography color matching
For Taobao's photo color adjustment, it was very important to first take photos in the early stages. The lights had to be evenly distributed. In the later stages, you can use PS to adjust the curve, then press ctrl-b to adjust the color balance, and adjust it according to the effect you want to achieve. You could also freeze the light and shadow first, then use the white balance tool to adjust the color temperature and tone. If one used a mobile phone to shoot, the original Apple camera had a universal color adjustment formula, such as no net sense to increase the exposure, cold white skin to increase the brightness, dark background to increase the brightness, yellow photos to increase the color temperature, gray photos to increase the saturation, and blurred photos to increase the sharpness. In addition, after taking Taobao pictures, you can also adjust the brightness and contrast of the photos to make the colors more vivid. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Black and green color photography
Here are some ways to bring out the black and green tones in photography: ** 1. Pre-filming ** 1. ** Shooting time and location ** - Choose an environment with plenty of natural light, but avoid strong direct sunlight. This will help maintain the depth and nature of the color. You can choose a dark green wall or a scene with a lot of plants as the background. 2. ** camera parameters adjustment ** - Increasing the contrast appropriately could enhance the contrast between light and dark, making the black and green layers more distinct. - Increasing the saturation level appropriately could make the green color even richer. - For cameras with white balance settings, you can enter the white balance custom adjustment, such as adjusting the color temperature to about 5500, and adjust the blue and green colors in the color drift (for example, blue 1.5, green 1.5). This way, the vegetation will be greener. ** 2. Post-processing ** 1. ** Phone or camera has built-in filter ** - You can use the "retro" or "cool" filter of the phone camera, which may help to create a basic atmosphere of black and green. 2. ** Post-processing software (Take PS as an example)** - Enter the Camera Raw to adjust the exposure. If the highlight is too bright, you can lower it a little. The shadow can also be appropriately brightened, but the contrast between light and dark should be preserved. - Make adjustments to the green color in the HTL panel, such as lowering the green hue (it can be adjusted to the bluish direction) and increasing the saturation. - He entered the color options and adjusted the cyan, yellow, and cyan parameters in the green color. For example, he added cyan, yellow, and cyan to the green color to bring up a black-green color that was more suitable for his needs. - You could also use the curve tool, such as selecting the RGH button and adjusting the middle tone of the red curve to lower the red color, so that the overall color of the screen was more black and green. You can also make local adjustments through the mask, such as darkening the parts that don't need to be too bright to highlight the black-green effect. In addition, you can also use Snapseed, Vsco, and other software to adjust the color tone, saturation, contrast, exposure, and other parameters to achieve a black-green effect. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The application of color filter in photography
In photography, color filter was widely used: 1. ** In terms of black and white photography ** - It is used to correct the color sensitivity of black-and-white films. - To adjust the contrast, for example, through the effect of a filter, the contrast between different tones in the picture would be changed to achieve the desired visual effect. - Eliminate the interference light and reduce the stray light that might affect the image quality. 2. ** Color photography ** - Correct the color temperature of the light source to ensure that under different lighting conditions, such as lighting with different color temperatures or natural light, the color can be accurately restored or achieve the color effect that the photographer wants. - Compensate the color. When the color in the picture is deviated due to various reasons (such as the influence of the environmental color, the characteristics of the film or the sensor itself, etc.), the filter can adjust the color. 3. ** Special Effects ** - The use of special shapes, structures, and optical properties of the filter can make the photos have special effects. For example: - The UV-filter (Ultraviolet Mirror) was made of colorless and transparent optical glass containing lead (which could absorb short light waves). It could absorb the ultra-violet light and eliminate the effects of fog. It was usually installed on the lens to protect the lens without exposure correction. - The Skylight Mirror (Skylight filter) is a light pink color that can absorb a little blue and violet light. It is used to eliminate the light blue hue on color films in cloudy or cloudy places. - The colored filter could filter out a portion of the light in the spectrum, allowing only a certain amount of light to pass through. Different colored filter colors had different effects. For example: - The Y-colored filter absorbed the violet and blue-violet light, giving the correct contrast between the day and the white clouds. - O orange filter can make red and yellow stand out, green and blue darker, suitable for mountain areas, seaside and other occasions. - The G green filter brightened the green leaves in the sun, making it suitable for taking close-ups of flowers in the park and people in the soft sunlight. - The R red filter lightens the red color and darkens the other colors. It can be used to create the effect of the moon in the morning light or infrared photography. - Close-up lens (half-length lens) was a concave lens with a long focal length. It was installed at the front of the camera lens to shorten the focal length of the lens. It was used to shoot small objects at close range and copy documents. When used, it needed to increase the exposure time by about a quarter. - The Reiden 80 color filter was blue in appearance. When using daylight color film to shoot under an iodine-tungsten lamp (the color temperature of the light source was lower than the equilibrium color temperature of the film, and the color tone of the photo would be particularly red), the color filter could increase the color temperature of the light source, and the color reproduction would be normal, but it needed to compensate for the level 1 and level 2 exposure. - A soft light mirror (diffusing filter) uses the diffusing effect of light to make the originally bright and clear scenery become hazy and blurry, achieving a hazy and beautiful mood. For example, when shooting a girl or an old man, it can create a different atmosphere. - Starlight mirrors (such as cross-shaped mirrors and rice-shaped mirrors) can reflect point light sources and mirrors to form 4, 6, or 8-star starlight effects in photos. The intersecting lines in the mirror can be used to diffuse light. When shooting water or strong light sources (such as night street lamps, car lights, stage lights, etc.), it can produce starlight effects. - Rainbow lens (light filter) can produce a radiant and colorful effect when shooting scenes under strong sunlight, night lights, and stage flashes. - Hollow lenses (halo lenses) used a small hole in the middle of the close-up lens to make certain parts of the scene clear and bright. The surrounding was a virtual surface. Rainbow Starlight Mirror, Soft Focus Mirror, Soft Net Mirror, Spider Web Mirror, and Magic Mirror could highlight this effect. - The multi-prism (multi-image filter) grinded into a number of small planes on the mirror surface, causing the photo to produce multiple identical images, forming a patterned picture. The multi-image lens could be roughly divided into four types. One of them was a flat transparent part in the middle, and the surrounding was grinded into a number of small planes. The center of the photo was a clear image, and there were several images with slightly lower clarity around it. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
What are the color characteristics of photography?
The color characteristics of photography mainly included hue, purity (saturation), and brightness. Hue was the main difference between colors, such as red, green, blue, yellow and so on. The human eye could distinguish about 180 colors, which were determined by the spectral composition of light. It could also be expressed by the wavelength of light. For example, 687 millimeters was red, 658 millimeters was orange-red, and so on. Purity was also the degree of saturation, which reflected the brightness of the color. Lightness refers to the depth of the color, and the reflection rate is often used to indicate its size. However, because the human eye was most sensitive to yellowish-green, followed by red, and least sensitive to blue, different colors would have different lightness feelings under the same reflective rate. The higher the lightness, the more white it was, and the lower the lightness, the more black it was. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
