Focus aerial Raiders article three: distance from the new season "right games" there are two days, maybe you can learn to use PS to create their own scenery scene map

This issue comes from the latest July issue of Focus magazine (Tmall).

The latest season of HBO’s magical epic “The Game of Power” is about to start next month. In the first six seasons, the audience followed the story between Westeros and the eastern mainland, enjoying the spectacular scenes of the show. Many fans have found locations for many classic scenes in the play, such as the Icelandic representation of North Mirror, the Ward Castle Manor in the city of Winterfield, and Ayit Ben Haddou of Morocco in the location of the Yuankai city. Tsukiji Ancient Village. In addition to the magical and bizarre scenes created by the powerful post-composition technology, how did the crew turn the sunny scenery into a cool, heavy, and depressed drama environment?

In this issue, we will use two actual later cases to explain how to turn aerial photographs into Westeros and Eastern Continent through post-technology.

I. Northland Icelandic style

The first case was that we restored aerial photographs of the Irish coastline to the Westland style of North West in the play.

First of all, we need to analyze the situation of the original film, then find the scene stills in the play for comparison, and then determine the production direction. The original film was shot when the weather was fine. The sunlight was strong and the contrast was relatively high. The exposure of the light source on the right side of the screen was slightly excessive. The whole coast of the picture shows a warm yellow tone, while the sea surface is a greenish green tone, which is quite different from the scene in the play. What we need to do is to darken the overall brightness of the picture, weaken the contrast, and adjust the color tone to a cool color dominated by blue-green.

1-1. Converting smart objects

Open the original image in Photoshop. Although the original film is in Jpeg format, you can still use Camera Raw as a filter. Use the Filter | Convert to Smart Filter menu to convert the artwork to a smart object, then select Filter | Camera Raw Filter.


1-2. Camera Raw Adjustment

In the basic adjustment, the first is the color temperature and the exposure, and the color temperature value is appropriately lowered to lower the exposure. Due to the strong light, we need to weaken the highlights and reduce the contrast. Increasing the sharpness enhances the detail in the picture and lowers the natural saturation for back-toning.


1-3. Split tone color

Go to the Separation Hue page, because the original piece of light is warm, we adjust the hue of the highlight part to blue, and enhance the saturation, so as to weaken the warm color of the bright part.


1-4. Camera Calibration

Switch to the camera calibration page, weaken the red and green primary colors, and strengthen the blue primary color. At this time, it should be noted that the khaki on the coast of the original map and the turquoise of the sea cannot be completely eliminated, otherwise the picture will lose its color, like a black-and-white photograph that turns blue.


1-5. Handling Sky Shadows

After the processing of Camera Raw is completed, the image has taken shape, and we will proceed with the details. First we add a curve adjustment layer, slightly increase the contrast while darkening, and then use the layer mask to make it work on the sky part.


1-6. Adjusting Color Balance

Use color balance adjustment layers to further control the overall tone and make it more chilly.


1-7. Overall darkness

Then use a curve adjustment layer to darken the entire screen to add a deep, depressing atmosphere.


1-8. Decrease saturation

Use the natural saturation adjustment layer, first increase the saturation level, and then lower the natural saturation level. This will allow you to retain some of the details in the overall achromatic environment.


1-8. Sharpening

Finally, use a high-contrast retention layer, the value can not be too high, and the blending mode is selected to soft light for sharpening. At this point, the adjustments have all been completed.


In the final comparison, the pictures can be said to be completely different pictures of the cold and cold style after the later period.


Second, the imperial city style

In the game of power, Westerlo’s landscape is mostly cold, heavy, and oppressive, but there are two exceptions. First, the Donne collar in the south of the mainland, where the scenery is like a tropical desert, it is The eastern continent is more similar. Another place will be a few kings of the city. Even though you are in the middle of the city, there is a scene of infighting and fighting. However, the scenery of the gentlemen is sunny and warm. The location of the Junlin City is Dubrovnik, Croatia. The scenery there is already beautiful. However, the usual shooting is still difficult to reproduce the style of the play. Let us restore it through post-processing.

The original film was shot in the early morning and the sun was already rising. But the sun only shines in the bay. The surrounding is still in cool tones. We need to adjust the picture to the overall warm tone while enhancing the light perception. Appropriately weaken the air perspective to create some magical atmosphere.


2-1. Convert Smart Objects

Open the original image in Photoshop. Although the original film is in Jpeg format, you can still use Camera Raw as a filter. Use the Filter | Convert to Smart Filter menu to convert the artwork to a smart object, then select Filter | Camera Raw Filter.


2-2. Camera Raw Basic Adjustment

In the basic adjustment, we appropriately raise the color temperature value, reduce the contrast, and darken the highlights.


2-3 color processing

Go to the HSL/grayscale page, because the original film is too cold, there is a need to intensify the warm color and weaken the cool color.


2-4 camera calibration color correction

Switching to the camera calibration page also strengthens the red primary colors and green primary colors, weakening the blue primary colors.


2-5 increase the mist

After the processing of Camera Raw is complete, we will duplicate this layer and then enter the Camera Raw filter of the duplicate layer. On the effect tab page, set "Remove Mist" to -30. Then use a layer mask to make it work only on distant scenes.


2-6 Reduce Contrast

Use the curve adjustment layer to brighten shadows, darken highlights, and apply layer masks to only the distant scenery and nearby water surfaces.


2-7 color balance

Use the color balance adjustment layer to further enhance the overall warm tone of the screen.


2-8 processing tone

Use two curve adjustment layers, one to brighten highlights overall and the other to reduce brightness but only to the sky and water.


2-9 saturation processing

Use the natural saturation adjustment layer to slightly increase the saturation and then drastically reduce the natural saturation. Complete all adjustments after sharpening.

In the end, your "Jun Lincheng" was completed.
