Frequency Separation Technique

I uploaded this video by request from users on the www.ModelMayhem.com community to show how to do a frequency separation on an image in this sample I show a brief display on how it can be used to smooth skin or remove blemishes but this technique can be used for multiple things, such as contrast,sharpening,adding texture etc.

I want to repeat that the Image I'm working on is 8 bit if you want to use this technique on a 16 bit image the settings will be different on the apply image box but the steps will remain the same.

I hope you enjoy it. :)

If I was going to dodge and burn, would I put those layers above the highpass layer or below it?

@Aydensgrace

I would put those layers in between the low and the high.

whats the best way to set up a dodge/burn layer after separation?

[estoymirandoesto1983]

@ritagberry

I used to curves adjustment layers one curved up and one curved down, curve down set to darken and the curve up one set to lighten.

I'm foreign and you just showed what a ridiculous person you are if that's all you got from this video. You are a little too angry over a pronunciation pathetic. Please step away from the computer and get a life.

At what point do you merge all the high and low and original layers?

Thanks Angie. Nice short explanation of it. Very similar to wavelet decompose in GIMP :-)

Great tutorial, Angie!  Straight to the point for these who are very with Photoshop and different techniques. Clear and no waisted time explaining the obvious. Thank you.

Great video, great tutorial!! I love your voice, so calm and good to follow! Thank you so much!

[gasknr]

fairly vauge in your explaining, just saying about ten pixels for the blur doesnt teach anybody anything, understanding the radius is everything with this technique and you totally overlooked it.
