Another great and simplified lesson. Frequency Separation has always been a bit confusing to me, but you managed to explain and demonstrate very well, and remove some of the stigma associated with the difficulty of using this great tool - thank you!

[@AffinityRevolution]

I was confused when I first learned Frequency Separation, but it's so useful once you get the hang of it. 🙂

[@Watcher9000]

This is the best explanation of the Frequency Separation filter I've seen. Demonstrated and explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Thank you so very much.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! That's so nice of you to say 😊

[@7577GG25]

I totally agree. Well done Ally.

[@waltertanner7982]

It's a hugely useful video and I now understand it better than ever before, and will now use the technique. Thank you so much!

[@AffinityRevolution]

[@KathleenRenninger]

Wow! This was a real eye-opener. ( No pun intended!) I had no idea of what frequency separation was for, but now see how useful it can be. Thank you!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Frequency Separation is pretty unintuitive at first, but it's a great tool for retouching after you know how it works. 😊

[@dioningutriquez]

Brilliant presentation as per usual Ally!
I have a request: please make a video demonstrating the many uses of the Point Transform Tool in Affinity Designer.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thanks for the idea!

[@KAGosage25]

Affinity Beta 2.6 just came out and has some great features too. I was anxious to see your opinion on it in a video.

[@AffinityRevolution]

I'm going to make a 2.6 video when it's out of beta, because the new features might change before the update is actually released.

[@craigfiles7067]

Thank you for the demonstration i love these short video demonstrations. I do a lot of portraits airbrushing & need a way of turning a image to black & white but I also need to reduce the opacity of the image so it's like a ghosted image i need this for ticking up the artwork, could you help with a demonstration of how to do it? I know it seems easy but i really need the help.

[@anapantz]

Wow... I wish I had known this years ago... awesome!!!!

[@AffinityRevolution]

I'm glad you liked the video! 🤗

[@kathleenryan8545]

I wish it was that easy in real life! 🤣

[@AffinityRevolution]

For real! 😆

[@Tremmor500]

Let's get started!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Ohhh ya! 😄

[@Tremmor500]

Seriously , I have been mastering this stuff thanks to your UA-cam videos. I've gone from never having used Affinity or edited a photo in my life to putting out pro level headshots that are actually booking me busniess. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

[@AffinityRevolution]

@@Tremmor500 That's awesome!! Way to go! 👏

[@augustya7543]

James Rison of Affinity Photo has a different approach on using Frequency Separation for Portrait photos.

[@AffinityRevolution]

I haven't seen his technique, but there are lots of ways to retouch a photo, so use whichever method suits you best! 😊

[@oriffel]

take that, wrinkles!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Poof! They're gone! 😄

[@romeosoroka]

tbh its better to use 100% hardness and something around 70-80% flow when you work with the texture layer, because its easy to mess with texture and make it too soft and messy.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Interesting! I'll need to give that a shot.

[@pattysmith5924]

It seems you can do these same things without creating a high frequency layer and pixel layer. You didn't really explain these and why they are necessary. Sorry, i am a nubie, but I thought that was the target audience. I do very much love your videos though.
