[@gulubidulu]

Incredibly useful technique, explained in incredibly clear terms. Thanks

[@PerchedLeopard]

Fantastic tutorial. I'm also looking at the nightmare of the road sign reflections on the bus. Haha!

[@tsegulin]

So simple yet so effective. Well done, thanks!

[@vahanmartirosyan7710]

Awesome explanation of frequency separation!

[@cosmicnation]

Wow this technique is incredible! Makes me feel way better at compositing than I actually am!

[@genTrottier]

Thanks Paul, nice techniques!

[@FilmRestorations]

Good job! Bravo!

[@ponnalab]

Superb very useful , Thanks!

[@alexandersmirnov7851]

Wow, this is great!

[@justinjohnson9232]

such a great tutorial, I use a similar technique, but use division/multiplication vs. from/add, less artifacts.

[@MrThirumal]

Great tip. thanks

[@mohannitheesh007]

Superb ❤

[@charlesbrain5535]

This is a good technique

[@alaaaboelfotoh7181]

great one

[@pancatrie]

thanks very much

[@lewiswright4038]

i always do the merge divide lol it was taught to as the multiply trick didn't know about the plus method thanks.

[@lewiswright4038]

i like the merge divide because it keeps you in positive value territory and makes it easier to work with blending mode tricks on the high frequency side

[@ronydey2696]

Great

[@ranzhang5660]

hello, the rotopaint node sometimes causes some bugs like doesn't render properly. i'm not sure what's the reason causes this problem. maybe the caches? or maybe I brush to many times? Could you fix this node? This problem is not happen that much on Flame. and this problem occurs since i started to use nuke in 2015

It seems to me that a dermatologist could do this in fewer steps, and with less math.
