Professional Color Adjustments - Local Color Adjustment
1. Enhance Character Details By Region
- Skin Refinement： For a "vampire" character, selectively adjust the brightness of the facial or neck while preserving the rich red tone of the lips for a hauntingly pale yet vibrant undead look. For other "non-human" characters (e.g., those with blue or purple skin), use HSL adjustments or custom curves to fine-tune unnatural skin tones, ensuring fantastical colors remain vivid and true to the character's design.
- Costumes and Props Adjustment: Adjust individual props to suit color, glossiness, and other attributes/Apply consistent glossiness adjustments across coordinated costume sets(headwear + garments).
2. Basic Color Optimization
- Color Correction: Create atmospheric effects through color grading. For instance, when editing "Dreaming Lolita" characters, use a low-contrast curve to soften highlights while lifting shadows, creating softness.
- Texture Simulation: Customize graininess to match character styles. Apply fine grain for delicate fantasy looks or coarse grain for gritty cyberpunk themes.
1. Custom Face Shaping - Character-Tailored
- For kawaii anime-style girls, plump up the apple cheeks and chin tip to achieve that perfect, rounded doll-face effect.
- For a cold-hearted face, sharpen the jawline and cheekbones to craft a sleek diamond face with an authoritative presence.
2. Multi-Character Differentiation
- Gender-specific adjustments: When editing mixed-gender groups, enhance masculine features like deepening jawline shadows for male characters.
- Age-appropriate refinements: Maintain natural baby fat for child characters while slimming facial contours for adult roles in group photos.
