In fact, I have been using this method for a long time. I also used it to adjust the aesthetic effect in the eighth color adjustment tutorial. I just mentioned it casually. It is necessary to talk about it specifically today. I tried it for a long time today and found it very interesting. I just don’t know. What is the principle of this color combination?
