你看，这个新的修图软件特别好用，我最近都用它来处理产品照片。
nǐ kàn, zhège xīn de xiūtú ruǎnjiàn tèbié hǎoyòng, wǒ zuìjìn dōu yòng tā lái chǔlǐ chǎnpǐn zhàopiàn.
Look, this new photo-editing app is really easy to use. I've been using it lately to process all my product photos.

看起来界面挺干净的，那我应该先从哪一步开始呢？
kànqǐlái jièmiàn tǐng gānjìng de, nà wǒ yīnggāi xiān cóng nǎ yí bù kāishǐ ne?
The interface looks pretty clean. So which step should I start with first?

先把照片导入进来，然后点这个裁剪工具，把多余的背景裁掉。
xiān bǎ zhàopiàn dǎorù jìnlái, ránhòu diǎn zhège cáijiǎn gōngjù, bǎ duōyú de bèijǐng cái diào.
First import the photo, then tap this crop tool to cut out the unnecessary background.

明白了。裁完之后颜色好像有点暗，怎么调亮一点？
míngbái le. cái wán zhīhòu yánsè hǎoxiàng yǒudiǎn àn, zěnme tiáo liàng yìdiǎn?
Got it. After cropping, the color seems a bit dark. How do I make it brighter?
W
你在下面的工具栏里找到“亮度”，往右滑一点就行，不过别调得太过头。
nǐ zài xiàmiàn de gōngjùlán lǐ zhǎodào “liàngdù”, wǎng yòu huá yìdiǎn jiù xíng, búguò bié tiáo de tài guòtóu.
Find 'brightness' in the toolbar below and just slide it a little to the right—but don't overdo it.

好，那滤镜呢？我看这儿有好多种，拍产品用哪个比较合适？
hǎo, nà lǜjìng ne? wǒ kàn zhèr yǒu hǎoduō zhǒng, pāi chǎnpǐn yòng nǎge bǐjiào héshì?
Okay, what about filters? I see there are so many kinds here—which one is more suitable for product shots?

拍产品的话，尽量选那种自然、颜色不夸张的滤镜，这样看起来才够专业。
pāi chǎnpǐn de huà, jǐnliàng xuǎn nà zhǒng zìrán, yánsè bù kuāzhāng de lǜjìng, zhèyàng kànqǐlái cái gòu zhuānyè.
For product shots, try to pick a natural filter with colors that aren't exaggerated—that way it looks professional enough.

原来如此，我以前总爱用那种特别鲜艳的滤镜，难怪照片看着有点假。
yuánlái rúcǐ, wǒ yǐqián zǒng ài yòng nà zhǒng tèbié xiānyàn de lǜjìng, nánguài zhàopiàn kànzhe yǒudiǎn jiǎ.
I see. I always used to love those really vivid filters—no wonder the photos looked a bit fake.
W
对，客户一般更喜欢真实的效果，尤其是要放到电商网站上的图片。
duì, kèhù yìbān gèng xǐhuān zhēnshí de xiàoguǒ, yóuqí shì yào fàng dào diànshāng wǎngzhàn shàng de túpiàn.
Right, clients generally prefer a realistic look, especially for pictures that will go on e-commerce websites.

那我给它加一点这个提升清晰度的滤镜，可以吗？
nà wǒ gěi tā jiā yìdiǎn zhège tíshēng qīngxīdù de lǜjìng, kěyǐ ma?
Then can I add a little of this filter that boosts sharpness?
W
可以，适当加一点清晰度能让产品的细节更突出，不过同样别加太多。
kěyǐ, shìdàng jiā yìdiǎn qīngxīdù néng ràng chǎnpǐn de xìjié gèng túchū, búguò tóngyàng bié jiā tài duō.
Sure, adding a bit of sharpness can make the product's details stand out more—but likewise, don't add too much.

太谢谢你了，这样修出来的照片确实专业多了，我这就去试试其他几张。
tài xièxie nǐ le, zhèyàng xiū chūlái de zhàopiàn quèshí zhuānyè duō le, wǒ zhè jiù qù shìshi qítā jǐ zhāng.
Thank you so much—photos edited this way really do look much more professional. I'll go try the other few right now.
