Very refreshing to hear a pro say "I don't remember the numbers, i use actions.". I am always very stressed out about not remembering the numbers and exact steps. Thank you Lili.
😆I prefer to leave my brain space and time to something else that is more important than the technical stuff. I can look the numbers up anytime I want. Give your brain a break and try not to be too hard on yourself. instead, give yourself a lot of encouragement, I promise you will learn faster!! ❤️❤️❤️You're more than welcome.
ohh, came in from the hair roots tutorial to see what's behind the action. this is pretty awesome -- I'm just glad I'm at a level where I can understand the reasoning behind it and not just blindly copying, makes the entire solution (and process) more enjoyable!
Thanks for let me know your thoughts. I'm glad you understand the reasoning behind it. It might take some time for some people to understand it. Some understand it slower, some quicker but we get there eventually. 😄
The way I understand Frequency when it comes to photos comes from the Texture slider in LrC/ACR, and it's also the basics of how Sharpening work. Texture looks for things of high Frequency and ignores low to no frequency. The best way to describe it is anything that has a rapid change in color from one pixel to the next. Using black and white as an example, low frequency from one pixel to another would be like bbbbwbbbb. Whereas high frequency would be bwbwbwbwbw. The more change from one pixel to the next is considered higher frequency. For the most part, Frequency separation is about taking high frequency (texture) and separating low frequency (color). When we look at color, even on skin, there is a low amount of change from one pixel to the next, which is why it is considered low frequency. Seeing a series of bumps on the skin, the bumps can easily have a light and shadow side, thus having high contrast or frequency.

Incredible, thank you!
You're welcome!
I don't understand how photoshop still doesn't have an adjustment layer to do this in an easier way. Been like this for probably 20 years now.
Good point.
