Recently, the temperature has warmed up, the magnolia flowers on the roadside have bloomed, and the season for shooting flowers has come again.

Although there are many flowers in the park and by the roadside, it is not easy to make the flowers look good, especially when matching portraits, it is not easy to show the artistic conception of spring.

Today, I'm going to teach you a late-stage technique to make your photos "colorful" and have a strong spring flavor.

In spring, when cherry and peach blossoms are in full bloom, everyone wants to show a feeling of "wind blowing and falling", but the blooming period is short and the weather is not fixed, so it is difficult to find such a scene.

However, we can achieve the following "falling flowers" effect through a simple late operation.

We need to use a photo of petal material with a black background and a PS tool.

First, import the original photos that need to be edited into PS, and also import the petal material photos into PS.

Then drag the footage photo to the original photo, press and hold "Ctrl+T", and the footage photo can be flexibly resized.

Next, press "shift" while pulling the circular pattern on the corner to adjust the size of the footage photo (pressing shift is to prevent the material from deforming), make sure that the footage photo can cover the original photo, and then press enter.

Then in the control panel in the lower right "layer", we change "normal" to "filter" so that the black background disappears and the petals in the material are displayed in the original photo.

In this way, we get a picture of falling flowers.

But this is not enough, on the right side of the "filter" there are "opacity" and "fill" two tools, "opacity" controls the display effect of superposition, the lower the opacity, the more "transparent" and "virtual" the superimposed petals appear; the "fill" controls the range and degree of superposition, and the lower the filling value is, the weaker the effect of the petals is.

We choose the appropriate value according to the characteristics of the photo to prevent the superimposed petals from looking too fake.

Then we can simulate the feeling of the wind blowing on the petals:

We go to the "filter" tool above, select "blur", and then select "motion blur"

In this tool, we can manually choose the direction and degree of blur, so that the movement of the petals blown by the wind will come out, and the photos will look more real.

After completing these steps, our operation is basically completed and the prospect of the petals is ready.

When using this technique, we also need to pay attention to the following points:

First of all, pay attention to the petal material we choose to be consistent with the flowers in the original photo.

Secondly, we should pay attention to the scope of superposition, for example, the petals should fall with the wind, and if we put all the petals into the sky, they will look very fake, so we should pay attention to the reasonable position of the petals in the photo. If you can't avoid it, you can smear it with erasers and other tools later.

Finally, after all, the human effect is not as shocking as the real scene, so we can use it appropriately instead of using it as a dependent tool.

Some friends should find that artificial "making rain", "making snow" and "making fog" are also suitable for this operation, as long as we have suitable material photos, all of them can be achieved through the above steps.
