I follow the steps on this video;

Step 1) Duplicated the layer

 

Step 2) Applied Frequency Separation on the dup. Layer

 

Step 3) Duplicated the LF Layer.

 

Step 4) Applied the Filter - Bilateral Blur on Dup. Layer

 

Step 5) Added Empty Mask Layer to this

 

Step 6) Paintbrushed the blemishes

 

Step 6) Selected the HF Layer.

 

Step 7) Added Curves 

 

Here On the video 4:27

 

He adds Curves and choose Spide on the context toolbar.

 

I don’t have It as you see on my screenshot?

 

Also whatever Adjustment Toolbar I add the context toolbar does not change?

You need to double-tap on the adjustment layer (or its thumbnail) to edit its settings. Without doing that, the Context Bar is for the currently-active Tool (such as the Paintbrush Tool).

I double clicked the adjustment layer and several other places. It does not work?

You need to double-click it in the Layers panel.

I think the problem is I can not create a Curves Layer on the Layers Panel.

 

When I choose Curves Adjustment on the Adjustment Studio Panel There options are not presented. So actually I can not add Curves Adjustment.

(You can check the last video I shared)

 

For example I go Adjustment Studio and choose Gradient Map there comes up two Gradient Map Options.

A) Ultra Violet (Gradient Map)

B) Nuclear (Gradient Map)

Try setting the pulldown to Adjustments, not Curves. You don't have any Curves Presets, and so you need to add a basic adjustment layer, not one from a Preset as you're trying to do. Once set to Adjustments, scroll down to Curves and click the one you see there.

That’s interesting and may not make sense to most users. But I understand now and could do It.

 

Thank you very much for the answers.
