Great tutorial as always! In all these years that frequency separation has been a major thing in PS, I'm surprised Adobe still hasn't implemented a button to generate it automatically, and that we still have to rely on actions.
After they introduced the new tools some months ago, i directly implemented them into my FS workflow! Glad you are showing it here as well! Safes so much time!
Your tutorials are simply the best! Love your teaching style, crystal clear, and your lessons cover both basic and advanced techniques flawlessly. You have a gift for sparking creativity. Keep up the fantastic work!
Once again you have saved my life Unmesh!!!! π€£ Just used Frequency Separation to even out blotchy background of black & white photo and it worked brilliantly!! Thank you!
I watched your all series of retouching but I this is gold π₯
The Remove Tool has gotten so good in recent years. It even seems to learn on the spot as you apply a second and third pass. Itβs amazing.
I remember watching your video on frequency separation 7 years ago when I was first starting using Photoshop...look how far we've come :') thank you so much for your guidance
Great tutorial! I think this technique works very well when you need to work fast and have lots of images to retouch. The only thing I would say is- if you are working on your own portfolio images and you want the best quality retouching, I would still take a bit more time in order to preserve the skin texture and make the portrait look as natural as possible. If you have time, I would suggest this workflow: use Liquify first if needed > removing the main blemishes first (the new Remove Tool is amazing for this) > do dodging and burning > do some light adjustments using frequency separation > create a brush layer like in your first example to fix remaining problems > do another dodge and burn, this time to make accents > add noise to mimic skin texture if lost > add final contrast and colour adjustments if needed.
This channel deserves more more & more subscribers than technical guruji has
Another fantastic video from piximperfect. Thank you π¬π§π¬π§π¬π§π¬π§
Best Photoshop teacher ever
Thank you for this new technique. I will try and compare with "usual 8 and 16 bits FS", not only for the fact it's muuuch faster but also to compare both results. I'm sure that it's going to make us win a lot of time for retouching that are just used in low def for sure, and what's interesting is to see if HD pictures work with this technique can keep the skin as realistic as usual FS can do ππ I already imagine mixing both techniques to have the best control and a good balance between speed and quality π Thank you Unmesh, always on top π
Outstanding as always Unmesh, Thankyou π
This technique works so well and looks so natural! Thank you so much!!
As usual, Top Class!
Funny. I used to adjust individual frequencies with a nifty photoshop plugin called Equalizer ( part of Kai Power Tools 6.0, if I remember correctly ), some 20 years ago! It worked great for removing unwanted discernable patterns in tillable textures ( like grass ), and was extremely intuitive. Note: I still have it somewhere, though one needs Photoshop 8.0 for it to work. KPT was awesome; still is, in fact.
When, in the workflow, would wrinkles be "touched up"? I keep seeing tutorials of young models without this issue. Thank you for what you do!
Thank you so much - this is HUGELY appreciated
Like many, I always learn and appreciate the way to instruct us in the most efficient ways to work in Photoshop. Thank you!!
