I created my actions for frequency separation a while ago, saw your video, checked my apply image settings and sure enough I had the substract method for 16 bit. I fixed it and using the add method instead. Thanks learned something new today, even a small shift can cause issues

I have just been introduced to the concept of frequency separation today through other videos and I had no clue why the recommended settings were being recommended. Frankly, neither were some of the people making the videos (and understandably so because photographers are not "scientists!") I have to say as someone who is very into math, science, metrics, and just wanting to understand how things work, this video was EXACTLY the type of explanation I was hoping to find on why these values should be what they are. Thank you!!!

Congratulations on your way of explaining concepts that were very difficult for me to understand. This is, without a doubt, the best video I've seen (and I've seen many) on Frequency Separation. You are an excellent teacher. And I want to thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. Today I discovered this channel and I already subscribe and I will study your videos.

Thanks for this video! I noticed that some frequency separation videos used the addidive method and some used the subtractive method. I wasn't sure whether it was a Mac versus PC thing or just six of one half dozen of another so this video answered my question. Just a thought from a viewer perspective. Towards the end when you were duplicating some steps maybe you could put the screen image back up; even if you're zooming through the steps I think it's more instructive to watch what's happening on your screen rather than just listening to you say what your doing; alternatively just do a jump edit and say I just repeated the steps I explained earlier in the video. But thanks again for this video and I hit the thumbs up and the Subscribe buttons!

Catapumblamblam - it’s short because it’s that simple. If you a want 100% accurate representation of the image after FS, use a 16bit image. If you use an 8bit image it’s going to be fine, really. BUT that is why I use a 16bit image. Thank for watching and I Hope that helps clarify.

@@SteveWalterPhoto hmm, maybe I didn't explain well. Why, technically, if we use 16 depth colors, this situation is changing? No others technics changes, but fs. I know, I already knew tha 16 bit need a different fs process and what is happening if I use the 8 bit process ina 16 bit image, but in would love to understand technically why.
@Catapumblamblam5 жыл бұрын
It is not that if you repeat the same things 10 times, my question adapts to what you keep saying! I said that if you say: "I'll explane why images with 16-bit color depth require that method to be 100% accurate" you should explain WHY the other method is not accurate and not just "because is lesser accurate". See you
@SteveWalterPhoto5 жыл бұрын
Catapumblamblam oh. Gotcha. It’s because a 16bit image has more color information. So in the deconstruction and then reconstruction of the image, it’s able to preserve it completely. The apply image function is very specific with this technique. The answer to that would have to come from Adobe. I’m just interpreting the process. Hope this technique helps in your workflow!

ZuluSango most cameras that capture a raw file actually capture a 14bit file. Slightly confusing, but when you open that raw file in photoshop it gets converted to either an 8bit or 16bit image. So, when it’s converted to a 16bit image, it’s still actually only 14 bit, inside a 16bit container. I hope that helps.

Sorry for what I am about to say ... nevertheless, I simply do not understand why in the world you took SO long to muscle through a complex "technique", that through my eyes ... made no difference to the completed edited image from the way it looked at the very beginning of the video. What is the "fix" that was achieved? What was the "enhancement" that was achieved? What difference did all that work make, whether 8 bit OR 16 bit. I've watched this twice through and see no reason for the effort. It appears that the image looks exactly the same when finished, as it did before anything was done. Similar to this comment.
@randall422 жыл бұрын
@Jay Sigal Frequency separation is a means to an end, not the end result in itself. The difference is that once you've separated the color information from the texture information, you can edit the color of something in your photo without losing any of the texture, and you can edit or remove some texture without affecting the color.

Thanks for the feedback. I really thought I kept my jargon to a minimum, It’s a somewhat complex topic so I wanted to cover the why and not just the how. There’s a bunch of other videos that talk about the how. And the comments in those videos ask why. So maybe I could try again with a happy medium of both.
