That is a big improvement. Thanks for bringing to the fore. Cheers, Bill

cooooool Joseph, very helpful, keep up the gr8 work !

To go a level deeper: Make high and low pass layers and put a layer in between to correct colours in the low-pass region non-destructively. Also, try thinking of the low pass as the colour without the texture, and the high pass as the texture without any of the colour. Also, if you apply the high pass filter to a copy of the image, you can use a clone and stamp to replace rough skin texture with samples of skin texture that actually belong there.

Great tips! It might be worth an even longer video on particularly hard subjects.

@@JosephSlinkerbe warned: I tried doing this today, but I quickly found that there’s some issues. Still working out what’s wrong, but I’m confused because this used to work really well in Affinity Photo’s implementation. Very straightforward. With Pixelmator pro I’m having to mess with blend modes and whatnot and do some destructive editing. Specifically, cloning and stamping is not picking up the alpha channel. Super weird. Might be a glitch, might not be. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you very much! Very helpful and clear!

[@JosephSlinker]

Happy to help! I hope you find great use cases for it.

[@sonycemedia]

Much appreciated as always, your tips go a long way!

[@JosephSlinker]

Glad to hear it!

[@ramirezproductions0826]

Wow, this is a cool trick! Thanks for the useful info! I hope you have a good day!

[@JosephSlinker]

Thanks! You too!

Could you make a tutorial on body reshaping with pixelmator/photomator? thanks 😊

[@Navs_Music]

Wow this looks much more versatile than lightroom which I'm using in phone but this is quite costly to afford being a PG student and content creator now. It would be nice if this software goes on any deals in to buy it at affordable price 🤞🏻 & BTW this is a great tutorial Joseph❤

[@JosephSlinker]

They do deals all the time, but if you’re ever paying for the Adobe suite, Pixelmator more than pays for itself within a month or 2. Best of luck to you!

[@Navs_Music]

@@JosephSlinker Thanks for your response. Then 1 more request from my side, can you please do a detailed about the differences between Pixelmator pro and photomator? Which one would be the best for making youtube thumbnails, some color corrections at times etc..

[@stepangrabelnikov2205]

what to do with the second chin in the pixelmator?

[@ClubNoiseband]

Gonna do this thanks. Question: Anything “apple style aesthetic and ease of use” for simple solo recording audio, besides GarageBand?

[@JosephSlinker]

Something between GarageBand and Logic?

[@ClubNoiseband]

Maybe below GarageBand? A modern interface without clutter and too many options, almost like a straight recorder for live performance with some effects etc. Ableton is great but too many options.
