Use of the highPass filter


Recommended Posts

Within 4.1, using the high pass filter on a duplicate layer, everything works fine until I try to merge,or flatten the image, then the image, instead of applying reverts to my highpass image. It did not happen before the upgrade, am I  missing something. I like to use the highpass  in most cases where possible, it has a more subtle effect.

Hi BJA 42

 

Can you explain what you were seeing in the previous versions when flattening your image?

I have followed these instructions and it seems to be working as expected. 
 

  1. Duplicate Background Layer - Layer > Duplicate
  2. Select Duplicated Layer
  3. Change Blend Mode from Normal to Overlay or Soft Light
  4. Go to Filters > Sharpen > High Pass....
  5. Change Radius and click Apply
    Select both Layers, Document > Flatten

    Cheers - J

Sorry J, but you have the cart before the horse. If you use this method you cannot see the high pass filter. Surely the high pass filter has to be applied before overlay modes, otherwise you cannot see the degree of sharpening. Either way, I I Have tried it now two or three times and it's working perfectly I can manage and flatten, no problem. It must have been a glitch. But thank you for your response, Brian
