Frequency Separation to Improve Portraits in Affinity Photo

In this start-to-finish video, I will show you the workflow I use to improve a portrait, aiming to keep it sympathetic to the person. We are going to remove/reduce lines and dark rings from around the eyes. We will also remove/reduce lines and redness from the face. A flash can sometimes create a harsh glare on the skin giving it a shiny appearance, so we look at how we can also improve this.
The video has chapters making it easier to find the part you need.
