攝影｜修圖的思路

只要拍攝人像，多少都會經過修圖軟體處理身體、服裝、五官，比較常用的方式就是『液化』，另外，我也會把重點放在處理陰影上，因為陰影處理得好，是可以比液化的效果更好更自然，最後成果也會更好看。

As long as portraits are taken, they will undergo editing with photo editing software to modify the body, clothing, and facial features. The most commonly used method is ‘liquify.’ Additionally, I also focus on enhancing shadow manipulation because skillful shadow editing can yield better and more natural results than liquifying, resulting in a more visually appealing final outcome.

上圖為例，通常會優先處理陰影部分，最後再通過液化的步驟做一個結尾。

In the example shown, shadow areas are typically handled first and then followed by a final step in liquefying.

首先，把我認為的問題找出來，衣服的褶皺、陰影、手臂的陰影、手臂的邊緣。

First, identify the issues I believe are present: wrinkles on the clothing, shadows, shadows on the arms, and edges of the arms.

這些其實都只是一點點小問題，新娘本人身材各方面都已經是很符合普通人認知裡的完美了，衣服的選擇上也是，不論式版型、合身程度、剪裁都非常棒，只是因為現場的光線、姿勢的變化，導致身體和服裝的陰影有點多。

These are just small issues. The bride herself has a figure that is already very close to the conventional perception of perfection, and the clothing selection is also excellent in terms of style, fit, and cut. It’s just that due to the lighting and changes in posture at the scene, there are a few more shadows on the body and the clothing.

陰影的部分：把皺摺處的陰影消除或者淡化之後，就不會有這裡是皺褶的感覺。需要先理解褶皺的形成是因為有陰影，陰影也是影響一個物體立體感很重要的因素，所以只要把陰影消除或者淡化，立體感就會消失或者淡化，褶皺也是一樣就會消失或者淡化。但是也不是就要把所有陰影都消除，不要忘了目前的位置還有胸部的存在，只有形狀沒有陰影的胸型，觀看感覺是非常奇怪、虛假，所以適度地保留也是修圖很重要的課題之一。

Shadow area: After eliminating or lightening the shadows on the creases, there will no longer be a wrinkled feeling here.Understanding that wrinkles form due to shadows, and shadows are also a crucial factor in influencing the three-dimensionality of an object, removing or lightening shadows will cause the three-dimensionality and wrinkles to disappear or fade.But it’s not about completely eliminating all shadows. Don’t forget that the current position still has the presence of the chest. A chest shape without shadows looks very strange and fake when viewed, so it is also important to retain some of them appropriately during photo editing.

液化的部分：自然就是把彎曲的線條調整成滑順流暢的曲線，適度的把該放大的部分放大，縮小的部分縮小，注意背景會不會因為液化變形的太誇張，線條的調整會不會太多，這是一個很需要時間處理和手感的步驟。最後重點也是在適度就好，調整過頭的情形都是非常容易被察覺出來。

Liquidation part: Naturally, it means adjusting curved lines to smooth and flowing curves, appropriately enlarging and reducing the necessary parts. Pay attention to avoid excessive deformation of the background due to liquidation and excessive adjustment of the lines. This is a step that requires time and a sense of touch.The key is to moderate and avoid excessive adjustments, as they are easily noticeable.

修圖的重點之一，我認為就是不要過度處理。像是煮菜一樣，修圖就像調味的過程，一道菜餚裡不管有多少種類食材，調味的方向就是讓每樣食材的味道融合在一起，或者把想要突出食材的味道讓它更強化明顯，這樣的菜餚才會色香味俱全，讓人想大快朵頤一番。修圖也是如此，不須要太多的處理，一點點的液化，一點點的柔膚，一點點的調整就可以讓畫面分數再多加五、六分，觀看者並不會感覺到異常、奇怪，只會覺得畫面很舒服、很好看。

One of the key points in photo editing, in my opinion, is not to overly process.

Like cooking, editing is like the seasoning process, where no matter how many types of ingredients are used in a dish, the direction of seasoning is to blend the flavors of each ingredient together, or to enhance the desired flavor of an ingredient to make it more pronounced. This kind of dish will have a perfect combination of color, fragrance, and taste, making people want to indulge in it.

Editing works the same way – it doesn’t require too much processing. Just a little retouching, a little softening, and a little adjustment can enhance the score of the image by five or six points. The viewers won’t feel anything unusual or strange, they will only find the visuals very pleasant and attractive.

在找範例的時候還真的有點煩惱，還好看到這張圖，不需要把臉部打馬賽克或者眼睛畫黑線（會很像新聞裡面出事的人），做這種範例解說還真怕沒說明白以外，還得罪當範例解說的當事人。

I was a bit worried about finding examples, but luckily I came across this picture. No need to blur the face or censor the eyes (which would make it look like someone in trouble in the news). Besides, I’m afraid of not explaining the example clearly and also offending the person being used as an example.
