Don't rush to delete unattractive photos. These tricks turn waste into treasure.

Will you choose to delete or keep the unattractive photos?

Sometimes photos that don't look attractive enough may just need some post-editing to shine, and it's a pity to delete them.

Today, I'd like to introduce several techniques for turning photos into treasures:

1. Cutting-changing composition is affected by personal shooting habits and aesthetic habits, we usually choose a certain composition as our main shooting method, such as three-part composition, horizontal composition and so on.

At a later stage, we can completely rethink these "patterns" and use cropping and changing the composition to find interesting elements in the photo.

In this photo, for example, the author seems to want to keep the big triangle in the middle to highlight the characters, but the effect is not good because the edges are not clean, and the main body is not prominent enough and not attractive enough.

Then we can change the composition and the proportion of characters by cutting, so that the main body is more prominent, the whole is more concise, and the photos are beautiful.

Cutting to remove irrelevant elements, highlight the main body, or change the composition is an important work in the later stage, this step can also stimulate our shooting ideas and provide experience for our later shooting.

two。 Black and white is not a panacea, but most of the time it can make photos look "advanced".

Black-and-white photos put more emphasis on tone contrast than color photos, and the lack of color elements can also highlight the importance of composition, especially to eliminate the influence of messy colors.

So when the color of a photo is not good, we can try to adjust it to black and white, maybe it will be more interesting.

However, it should be noted that not all photos are suitable for black and white. Photos with texture, texture, simplicity, strong light and shadow contrast and large negative space are more suitable for black and white.

3. Photos that can't be used as material in the later stage are not necessarily useless, we can use them as material.

I don't know if you still remember an article that was pushed to you before: imitating the effect of "falling flowers" in the later stage.

Artificial "drop" flowers? Learn this PS trick, it looks better to shoot flowers in spring.

The material used in this is made of the petals in the "waste photo" little by little. If you dig out the petals inside, you can become a very useful later material.

The cloud, smoke, sky, Rain Water and other elements in the "waste photo" can all be used as later material, so if there are more distinctive elements in some photos, don't rush to delete them, you may be able to use them sometime.
