darkmunk Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Been using PS since 192 and Affinity Photo is looking great guys. Well done :)Trying to get my head round FS (frequency Separation). It creates two layers, but I'm not sure what to do with them?I've tried making a mask on the top layer and painting-in (or out) the areas I want affected, but nothing is happenning.Checked all the brushes are correct, ie 100percent, black, normal blend etc. Nothing :(any clues how I get my image to actually show what the filter has done?Obviously missing something obvious :) chrisw and peterbak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coranda Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Have you looked at the tutorial video on frequency separation? https://vimeo.com/130965888 Homathko, The low-freq layer is soft because it has had the high-freq info removed and that's where all of the sharpness is.

livetheshot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Low frequency deals with the tones of the image. High frequency deals with the details of the image. Derayway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manu schwendener Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Have you looked at the tutorial video on frequency separation? https://vimeo.com/130965888 The video 'Nature portrait start to finish' has also a long part about frequency separation, starting at 1'07'' chrisw and Nivrams 2 Quote manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livetheshot Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 A good rule of thumb is to increase the separation until you lose the details in the lower frequency layer. This way you can do selective gaussian blurs to even out the tones better. You can see an example of this in my sped up retouching video that I did for a fashion campaign I recently shot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Naqtoh9ey4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterbak Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 ... I've tried making a mask on the top layer and painting-in (or out) the areas I want affected, but nothing is happenning. ... I also struggle with this problem. When i follow the video, @1:41 begins the painting-in but nothing is happening at my photo. I already found out that is have to select an area first, but still nothing happening (no spots disappear) I will try to follow the tutorial video again with another photo and watch the vid @manuschwendener.ch is referring to.

JimGoshorn Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 You don't mask either layer. You correct any color or tone flaws in the low frequency layer and you correct any detail flaws in the high frequency layer. It is possible for some flaw to exist on both layers, in which case, you have to retouch both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicdixon Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 For better results on more refined adjustments: select an area - "feather" before applying "Gaussian blur" on the low frequency layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithel Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Once you've edited the low and high frequency layers how do you merge them back into being a single pixel layer that you can then do more editing on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Right-click the high frequency layer and choose 'Merge Down'.
