Everyone wants to look good - both in life and in the photo. Someone for this takes care of themselves, and someone resorts to cunning and achieves beauty with the help of the notorious Photoshop. Adobe Photoshop is a very powerful tool. Traces of professional interference in the image are sometimes impossible to find even after careful examination of the photograph. No professional photo is complete without using Photoshop or similar programs. So if you have a professionally taken photo in front of you, be sure - it has been edited and retouched.
Instructions
Step 1
Color. All professional photographs undergo color processing, or rather, correction. This is because the camera is not able to see the surrounding world in the same way as the human eye. In order to bring the photo closer to beautiful natural colors, you have to correct them. In amateur photos, interference with colors can be detected by their unnaturalness. Too rich, too bright, too dim are all signs of interference.
Step 2
Shine. Professionals always shoot with additional equipment, so light correction is not often required. Another thing is an amateur photo or reportage photo, when there is simply no time to put the light on. In order for such photos to look better, they usually resort to correcting highlights and shadows.
Step 3
Skin texture and beauty. There is nothing perfect in the world, but everyone strives for it. That is why in advertising photos the models have ideally even, smooth and beautiful skin, which does not exist in nature. In amateur photos, skin retouching is quite easy to detect. With inept intervention, the skin looks like a doll's or plastic. Also pay attention to the skin color, freckles, pimples and small wrinkles - if none of this, then you have Photoshop.
Step 4
Installation. This definition means a huge range of actions: from simple background replacement, to waist reduction and hairstyle changes. With a skillful approach, only a professional or a very attentive person can recognize the installation. All this is done professionally so that the image looks natural, although, in fact, it could be assembled from different parts. Here you should pay attention to the little things: to the boundaries of objects and especially to the hair.
Step 5
When the background is replaced in a photo with a person, some of the hair (especially lush and disheveled) is lost or washed out. Take a close look at all the boundaries of the objects. If they are blurry or there are “areolas” of a different color around them, this is montage. To find, for example, the place of waist reduction - carefully consider this area. If there are clothes, they will most likely have unnatural folds or irregular patterns. If the skin is - it will be unnecessarily blurred.
