I want to create a pink romantic feeling and make the photos more beautiful.
Step 1: Synthesis
Cut off the debris that affects the picture, such as the building in the upper left corner and the extra branches.
Step 2: Color matching
Color matching can usually be achieved by three methods: curve, coarse grain and white balance. I chose the white balance, because the other two don't have the pink I want, and of course they can be mixed and superimposed.
Turn on the white balance, the color temperature is warmer+1, and the upper color is lighter+12. The specific value depends on the picture effect.
Step 3: Optimize the details
Now the whole picture feels a little exposed and the flowers are not prominent enough.
Open the adjustment chart, the highlight is reduced by -35, the atmosphere is increased by+10, and the brightness is increased by +24, reducing the sky exposure.
Open the outstanding details, structure +9, sharpen+18, and make the plum blossom more prominent.

At night, the photos taken by mobile phones are gloomy and have no bright spots. I want to highlight swallows as the main body.
Step 1: Synthesis
The wall is too big. Cut it off and let the swallows occupy most of the picture. You can focus on the main body.
Step 2: Highlight the main body
There are many ways to highlight the subject, such as local brightening, background darkening, atmosphere adjustment, filter assistance and so on. As long as it helps to achieve outstanding results, you can use it.
Open the curve and select Highlight, and the whole picture will be brighter.
Open the adjustment chart, the atmosphere is +52, and the main body begins to stand out; Shadow+19, the dark part of the subject becomes bright.
Open the coarse-grained film and choose a filter that can brighten the subject and make the edges vivid. I chose X04, with coarse grain of 0 and style strength of +48.
When Retro is turned on, you can adjust the intermediate brightness and vignetting intensity to darken the background and highlight the main body. The specific parameters depend on the effect you want.

This is a common close-up of flower buds. I want to make it retro and highlight the main body.
Step 1: color matching
The background of this photo is relatively clean, so you can directly start color matching without secondary composition, and the goal is retro.
Open the curve and darken it.
Open the coarse grain slice and superimpose it with X02 and L05. The retro feeling is already there.
Step 2: Local optimization
The main body of the bud is still not prominent, and tools need to be used to locally brighten and darken the background. In addition to the curves, atmosphere and coarse-grained film used in the last photo, there is also a very important tool to deal with small parts: parts.
Open the part and add local marks. At the marked place, the brightness, contrast, saturation and structure can be adjusted, and the adjustment range can be controlled according to the finger retraction.
Reduce the brightness of the background part that needs to be darkened, and increase the brightness of the main part of the bud that needs to be brightened.
Turn on retro, select 12, and the brightness is+12.
Can you tell the difference?
Step 3: Cut.
Sometimes, the aspect ratio of the picture will also affect the effect. The film ratio of 16: 9 will make the photos look more textured. But also make the main body stand out, and the branches will have a sense of extension.
Open the crop and select 16: 9, so that the bud is in the middle of the picture.

A daily photo with black paint, SLR shooting, RAW format, I think it is a blue photo that is very popular recently.
Step 1: color matching
Snapseed is compatible with photos in RAW format. After importing photos, the software automatically turns on development by default, which can make more detailed adjustments to many parameters of photos.
Open development, exposure +0.67, highlight-100, contrast -39, structure -78, saturation+10. These operations are all aimed at brightening the photo colleagues and controlling the noise. This is not a fixed parameter, the specific value depends on the photo.
Color temperature +40 14, coloring -32, and the adjusted picture is blue.
Open the curve and select M02 to make the tone of the photo more in line with the desired effect.
Step 2: Cutting
Cut out the clutter that affects the picture, such as pebbles in the lower right corner.
Step 3: The lens is blurred
After color mixing, this photo is almost ready. But considering the photos taken at night, the quality is very poor, so adding a little fuzzy special effects will cover up this shortcoming.
Turn on the lens to blur the background and make the portrait clear. This tool is very powerful, it can control the size, ellipse and straight line of clear objects through fingers; Too much power can also be chosen; What I like best is that I can change the spot shape of blurred objects. I chose a heart, which is very dreamy.
Step 4: Style
Open the coarse-grained film, select B0 1, and the granularity is +7, so that the noise and coarse-grained images naturally transition; Style Power +80 to enhance texture.

This angle is good, but not brilliant enough. I want the bridge to stand out as the main body.
Step 1: Synthesis
The picture is clean and does not need to be cropped. But according to people's visual preference, "horizontal and vertical" will look better, so use tools to adjust the angle.
Open it and turn left. It's still not vertical enough.
Turn on Perspective, select Free Mode, and adjust the door frame to be vertical.
Step 2: Color matching
Open the coarse-grained film and select X04. The granularity is 0, the pattern intensity is +46, and the main body is greener and more prominent.

It's another close-up of exotic roses in Pingping Zhang, but the main body is prominent, so it doesn't need secondary composition, just control the color. I want it to have a little fresh feeling in summer.
Step 1: basic adjustment
Turn on the tone map, mainly to enhance the shadow and brightness, because the small fresh is brighter and more transparent as a whole, but in order to prevent the photo from being pale and stereoscopic, it will be better to add a little contrast.
Step 2: Color matching
Several color matching methods mentioned above. This is an advanced version, which is more difficult, but much simpler than PS.
Open the coarse-grained photo, and select X0 1, granularity 0, and style strength +80.
Open the curve, adjust the red, green and blue curves respectively, light up and dark down. Similarly, red/green/blue is added, and red/green/blue is added and subtracted. As for the amount of each color and bright color, it depends on the feeling.
Small freshness is characterized by high brightness, low saturation and green tone. So you can try it several times according to your own preferences.
Step 3: Highlight the details.
Open the highlight details, sharpen +69, and feel some small particles.

Snapseed portrait retouching only supports skin rejuvenation, bright eyes, facial brightening and whitening, and cannot adjust facial features and face-lifting, which is not as good as Meitu Xiu Xiu. However, as a professional mobile phone retouching software, it pays more attention to the texture and skills of the picture, rather than the special effects of online celebrities.
This photo is very dull, but the color of glasses can be used as a bright spot, so I want to fix the effect of local color.
Step 1: Beauty
Open the beauty, and choose the corresponding tools as needed. I often use combination 2, facial brightening +50, skin rejuvenation +20 and bright eye +30.
Open the curve and coarse-grained film and choose a favorite filter to make the whole picture bright. I choose F0 1 in the curve, and L03 in the coarse grain.
Step 3: Mask
Masks in ps are usually divided into three types, namely layer mask, clipping mask and vector mask. This time it's called partial color preservation.
Turn on black and white and select the black and white filter. I prefer the texture of the film.
Click on the upper right corner to see the modified content, click on black and white, select the mask mark in the middle, and paint the part that needs to be colored with a brush.

Write it at the end
0 1. I'm not a professional photographer. I've been using snapseed for six or seven years. It's purely self-study and exploration, which inevitably has limitations.
02. The key of retouching is not the parameter value, but the method, so the parameters of retouching are different every time. Think about the reason for this step, know why, and then use it flexibly.
03. Make sure the effect you want to present before retouching, and every step is for the final effect. Of course, it also allows new inspiration in the middle, which will collide with unexpected effects.
04. Photography is not limited to equipment. Good equipment can help imaging, but good composition, creativity, ideas, capture and expression are the most valuable places in the picture.
05. Shoot if you want, just be happy!
The equipment is not enough, so make up the picture.
