The Great Power of Frequency Separation in Photoshop | For Skin Retouching and Much More

[@petarkostic2905]

You are the best teacher of photoshop on youtube, because you explain not only quick tips like what value of certain fader to set, but you explain all the theory behind that. That is the most important. I use photoshop for more than 7 years but still learn a bunch of new stuff by watching your videos. Keep doing good work in the future. Please make more videos about Photo manipulation like Compositing images, creating depth, match light and shadows in order to achive realistic look. A have already watched almost all your videos and only thing i have to say is THANKS! Pozdrav iz Crne Gore !

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Petar Kostic Thank you for such a kind words and support! I appreciate it 💪🏻 Will do more photo manipulation tutorials in a future for sure. Veliki pozdrav!

really really good thanks sir , so many tutorials i have seend but i dont get any idea about f&s this one is helpful thank you

[@irfanfarooqui6403]

really its easy and amazing thanku my teacher

I am only in first half of the tutorial and I need to say: "Thank you!" I did not know all possibilities of FS and this examples - straightening of blankets,... wow. I always screaming during retouching of newborn photos and all of the folds in the blanket. I definetely need to try FS for that job. It seams even better and faster method like clone stamp at its own. The things goes even better in 4th example. Thank you. ;)

[@artmaltman]

You explain why it works! Other videos just say "now do this, now do this" but never explain the underlying why it works. When I understand why it works it is much easier for me to remember how to do it and also to invent variations. Question: I have heard that the "apply image parameters" are very different for 8 bit vs 16 bit images. I usually edit 16 bit. Were you editing 16 bit or 8 bit? Do you understand why the parameters might be different for 8 bit vs 16 bit? Thanks!

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Well they say that it is different. But I didn't noticed. Try exactly the same settings on 8 and 16 bit images and see for yourself if there is a difference 😉

[@user-yd3qy7sf3l]

Thank you very mach, love it !

[@STdemoniac]

just today find your videos and they one of the best awailable on youtube ! Thank you ! And have one question related to FS , I know there is difference with apply image when working with 8 or 16bits image , in this tutorial wich one you using 8 or 16 bits? And can you share apply image settings for both (8 and 16) ? Thank you !

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Thank you. About your question. Try this same settings for both, 8 and 16bit images ;)

[@Chrisdgallego]

I'm not sure if you said something about the images bits. I mean, in 8bit color depth images the blending mode should be set in Subtract and the offset value to 128 and the invert unchecked With 16 bit color depth, blending mode in Add and offset in 0 and invert checked. Cheers!

[@NemanjaSekulic]

David Christian Duque Gallego Yes, I know that. But do you know why or you just know because somebody told you so? 😊 Try like this in both 8 and 16 bit mode, and let me know the results 😊

[@Chrisdgallego]

Maybe banding effect in 8 bit images?I don't remember very well but I think something like that. Could it be?

[@NemanjaSekulic]

David Christian Duque Gallego Well, I don't think that is about the banding effect. Banding is there just because there is not enough information in colors to have a smooth transition... If you find it out, let me know 😊 Thanks

[@user-uk5cu4vw7o]

@@NemanjaSekulic im still wondering about this too - i dont know the function of the scale or offset :s

[@TomGrubbe]

Awesome!

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Tom Grubbe Thanks 😊

[@hendrix5757]

Since I've noticed that you also use a graphics tablet, I also noticed that you use the radial pad for increasing/decreasing brush size. Were you aware of the other shortcut available? You start by holding alt, then pressing and holding the mouse right button (which is the top button on the stylus by default), while hovering the stylus left and right (don't press down on the tablet) to adjust your brush size . While moving the stylus up and down as it's hovering also adjusts the hardness. I recently learned and began using this shortcut, which allowed me to free up those radial buttons for other commands. Just thought I'd suggest this shortcut to you in case you weren't aware of it.

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I'm aware of that, but I prefer this way. Just a matter of habit 😊

Hi there nemanja I recently found your channel of excellent tutoring of retouching it's really easy to understand for starter like me.. If its possible can you please make a video for straightening pattern different coloured material with any same technics which you known ... Ex.. men's shirt with checked pattern with multiple colors

[@NemanjaSekulic]

That is very hard to do.

[@davidrose731]

Thanks for all of your tutorials - Which graphics tablet do you use?

[@NemanjaSekulic]

[@fellebogren]

love you tutorial, as always! do you think this effect works on water to smooth and create a kind of long exposure effect?😁

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Bogren Thanks. Great question. Yes, you can apply this on water, but will you be able to smooth it all the way... That's depends on the image. Try it out and let me know.

[@ramoaromaz8023]

Nice tutorial, whats the difference between creating a blank layer between high and low and using clone stamp on high and clone stamp on the blank layer

[@NemanjaSekulic]

When you work on a layer in between hi and low, you are dealing with low frequency (shapes and colors). When you work on hi, you are dealing with textures. That is the difference.

[@ramoaromaz8023]

@@NemanjaSekulic thanks for the quick reply! anyway can edit both high and low, by putting blank layers on top of each?

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Not always. Experiment for yourself and you will see.

[@ramoaromaz8023]

[@petersolomon8894]

Very useful Nemanja S. Thank you. Do you have any technique for edge blurring cut out layers in Photoshop? In the years that I have used Photoshop I have been surprised Adobe and third party plugin vendors have not created a filter to do this. Often I have to resort to importing PSD files in to After Effects, and then applying a third party filter made for this purpose.

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Sorry Peter, I didn't quite understand you. Are you asking for a method to blur edges after you cut out layer from a background?

[@petersolomon8894]

Yes Nemanja, that is what I ask. To date I have found no effective way to do this.

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Peter Solomon Here it is how I do it. After I cut out an object, I load selection of that object by holding ctrl or command and click on the layer, then go to select menu, then to modify, contract and I contract it for one or two pixels, depending of the imge size. Then I invert that selection by pressing shift+ctrl+I, and now I have just an edge selected. Then I just blur that selextion for about one pixel. And that's it. Try it and let me know the results. Hope that you understand me 😊

[@petersolomon8894]

Nemanja, Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to explain the way you do this. I will try your method. However, I have to say this is quite a work around. I wonder why in the twenty or so years of Adobe having released Photoshop, that they and participating plugin vendors (Topaz, Tiffen, Digital Anarchy, etc), have not developed a filter to do this?

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Peter Solomon You can do the same thing via refine edge or select and mask menu. And then just play with sliders.

[@tarikisik5114]

H again, With healing brush, I think it works but if I use the clone stamp tool after I sample it and then apply it, it makes a red burned color:/ Can you maybe help? did I do something wrong?

[@tarikisik5114]

Found it! My clone stamp was applied current and below, when I change it current layer it works;D thanks again!

[@coelee679]

hey ! ask you a question Why do you process the image with the low frequency layer and process the image with the high frequency layer? What is the difference between them?

[@NemanjaSekulic]

I already explained it in the tutorial. In Low are the shapes and colors, in High is the texture.

[@tarikisik5114]

Hey thanks a lot, I am at 8bit RGB working on my raw file. When I do these, my picture gets a little darker. Is this suppose to happen?

[@tarikisik5114]

Found it! I set the offset to 120, not 128:D
