I made good use of the watermark function of the picture.
-
Adding a watermark to your digital photos can not only reflect a *, but also protect the copyright. Using a watermark in Photoshop is very troublesome. However, in the hands of light and shadow magicians, it becomes easy. You can make or download small pictures to make your own watermark. After editing the digital photos, select the "Tools" → "Watermark" command in the hands of the light and shadow magician to set the basic genus * (as shown in figure 1).
We can set the transparency of the watermark, the "position" where the watermark appears, select the pixel points of "horizontal margin" and "vertical margin" at "margin", and finally click "OK" button. The software will intelligently remove the background of the watermark, analyze the irregular edges and draw a faint shadow on the edges. In this way, the watermark is not only looming, but also very stereoscopic.
Add your own watermark to the photo (Figure 1)
Tip: ★ We can also click the "Watermark 2" or "Watermark 3" label to add the second and third layers of watermarks to the picture.
★ The light and shadow magician can also use the text label and select the command Tools → Text Label. * The method is the same as above.

Second, solve the common problems in shooting, and balance one finger with white.
Photos taken under fluorescent light will appear green, while photos taken under the shadow of sunlight will appear blue inexplicably, which will happen to friends who have just played with digital cameras. The reason lies in the setting of "white balance". How to compensate for this "common disease"?
Select the command "Adjust → One Finger White Balance" in the light and shadow magician, and select the correction method under "Options" in the open window, such as "Strong Correction". Next, click on the corresponding part of the picture, and you can see that the photo will immediately brighten in the correction effect (as shown in Figure 2), and then click the "OK" button to finish the photo processing.
We usually have to use the mouse to find the "colorless object" in the original picture in order to restore the true color. Such as eyes, teeth, hair, concrete floor, white walls, ash bark and other scenery, bowls, paper and other objects. Can be used as color selection targets. And master the white balance, the modified photos will have more accurate color performance.
(Use one-button white balance function)
Tip: ★ We can also select "Slight Correction" in the "One Finger White Balance" dialog box to make adjustments. You can try it.
★ We can also click the "RGB correction" button and drag the sliders in the red, green and blue channels respectively to correct the RGB channels.

Third, make the photos artistic and easy to bind.
It takes two minutes for a Photoshop master to make a border! But even a novice can make a professional border in a few seconds with a light and shadow magician! The light and shadow magician can make three kinds of borders, one is a simple "easy border", the other is a "pattern border" painted on the edge of a photo with materials, and the third is an irregular "tear border".
We can choose Tools → Simple Border, and then select the corresponding simple border in the open window, and we can see the effect immediately (as shown in Figure 3).
(Add a simple border to photos)
Tip: ★ We can click the "Download More Easy Borders" link in the window of Figure 3 to open and download more easy borders.
-
Fourth, the unconstrained boundary.
Easy border is relatively simple, and the light and shadow magician also provides many patterns for us to choose from. Select Tools → Pattern Border to open the Pattern Border dialog box (as shown in Figure 4), select the border effect you like, and click OK to add a pattern border to the photo. The picture of the border effect is really great (as shown in Figure 4)!
Figure 4 adds a patterned border to the photo.
Tip: We can open /frame/ download more graphic borders by clicking the "Download more graphic borders" link in the window in Figure 4.
-
Fifth, performance art: tearing edges.
Tearing the border is an effect that can make digital photos look like old photos with torn edges in the computer. We choose the command "Tools → Tear Border" in the light and shadow magician, and we can select the corresponding module by opening the window as shown in Figure 5, and we can see very good results.

Tip: We can download more broken borders by clicking the "Download More Broken Borders" link in the window in Figure 5. In fact, the light and shadow magician has many functions. It can be said that there are large tools and software for digital photo processing, and both light and shadow magicians have them. For example, positive effect, black and white effect, sunset glow rendering, digital fill light, faded old photos, the main means of color scale and curve in PS and so on. Moreover, there is also a special corner repair for digital photos. For the camera with dead angle on CCD, it is convenient and effective to repair the dead angle on all the photos it takes with one setting.

The life of modern people is that sesame blossoms are on the rise. The transportation is convenient, digital equipment is cheap, the capacity of digital memory card is also large, and the price is also reduced. More and more people pay attention to tourism and become "donkey friends". While enjoying the delicious food along the way, I will definitely record the great rivers, mountains and scenic spots of the motherland with a digital camera. So when travelers go out, there are bound to be many photos. How to batch convert and produce the desired effect? With the help of the light and shadow magician, batch conversion can be realized once and for all, and the picture effect can be increased.
-
Step 1: Copy the photo.
-
The digital camera is directly connected to the computer, so the speed of transmitting photos will not be too high. We can take out the card, put it in the card reader, and then connect the card reader to the computer. Windows XP will immediately pop up a window as shown in figure 1. We can choose the command "Open Folder to View Files" to open the corresponding folder (as shown in Figure 2), so that we can copy the photos to the hard disk.
Tip: Of course, as long as we install the driver of the digital camera and connect the camera to the computer with a cable, we can also identify it and copy photos, but at a slower speed.

Digital cameras are getting cheaper and cheaper, and the memory of digital cameras is very large. When you travel for a while, everyone will take a lot of photos with it. But sometimes the format of these photos is not uniform, or the color and size are not satisfactory. Open Photoshop and fix them one by one. It's too much trouble. The light and shadow magician is a rare and excellent tool. The light and shadow magician is not only small in size, but also simple in operation. Sometimes the mouse can complete the task with one click. The light and shadow magician will definitely become the necessary software for us to look at and process pictures.

The light and shadow magician adjusts the tone of the photo;
-
In order to take a good picture of the snow scene, we need to adjust the camera parameters accordingly. In order to make the photos more tasteful, the tone processing of photos is particularly important. Taking nEO image software as an example, this paper introduces how to create charming snow photos, so that ordinary photos can sprout different artistic conception.

How to create a melancholy and mysterious artistic conception of photos?
.................................................
Innocent as snow
It fell gently to the ground.
So in this world,
Countless fairy tales were born.
In the depths of my dream
This is a beautiful village.
The end of the road
Your vague back is fading away.
A little disappointed.
How lost
Into flying snow falling in memory.
How many times can you throb in your life?
The most unforgettable thing is meeting for the first time.
Melancholy and mysterious artistic conception of photos: To achieve the melancholy visual effect, the color of photos should be as cold as possible. Let's start the "nEO iMAGING" software and open the photos to be processed (Figure 1). The bleak trees in the cold wind and the snow on the ground present a unique artistic conception. The figure in the distance on the path became the visual center of this photo. However, the color of the photo is slightly dull.
Figure 1
Now let's start to change the tone of the photo. First, we press the "F4" shortcut key on the keyboard, and the "Negative Film" dialog box will pop up in the interface, and the color of the picture will change accordingly. Dark tones with cyan give the picture a strong nostalgic color. Expressing melancholy and nostalgia is a good choice (Figure 2).
Figure 2
We can adjust the different tones of photos through three adjustment options. If we increase the saturation of red in the dialog box, the colors on the screen will be blue and purple. This is also a very attractive tone (Figure 3). The sharp contrast between light and dark makes the picture present an abstract mystery. If we strengthen the saturation of green and reduce the saturation of red, then the photo will show a milder green tone.
Figure 3
Beginners had better try several times when adjusting these parameters. After being familiar with the characteristics of various parameters, the task of changing the tone of photos becomes very simple.
If we are satisfied with the adjusted photo tone, please press the "OK" button. The photos will be processed quickly at this time. At this time, we press the key combination of "Ctrl+Shift+F", and the dialog box of "Fade-in and Fade-out Effect" will pop up on the interface. At this time, we can fine-tune the tone of the photo. This helps us to grasp the effect of the photo more accurately (Figure 4).
Figure 4
After color adjustment, we can also press the key combination of "Ctrl+AlT+F" to pop up the "Easy Border" dialog box, select our favorite border, and permanently save the processed photos.

If we want to create another effect for this photo, we can choose the Reload option in the File menu and select the Yes button in the dialog box that appears. At this time, the photo will be restored (Figure 1).
Figure 1
At this time, we click the option of "Effect → Other Special Effects → Yellowing in Cool Tone", and the photo will have an old sense of vicissitudes. This feeling is as warm as drinking a bowl of old wine in the cold ice and snow. In the warm wine, we are reminded of the past. (Figure 2).
Figure 2
First, we use "Reload" to restore the photo, and then click "Effect → Portrait Processing → Studio Style Portrait" in turn, and set the color tone to "Cool Blue" in the opened Studio Portrait dialog box, which will soften the color tone of the photo (as shown in Figure 3).
Figure 3
If we set the tone to "cool green" in the dialog box, the result will be that the photo will turn into a soft green tone. If the tone is set to "retro" in the dialog box, the resulting photo will become a soft golden tone.
