This is the best tutorial I've ever watched on Frequency Separation. Bravo Eli!
Wow, thank you!
Best tutorial video on the internet. Ive looked everywhere. You explained the sweet sauce that makes up frequency separation and the reason to use it. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Giving us a 24min video of skin retouching for free? Impossible!
Truly appreciated! :)
Most content on UA-cam is free, so I figure why not release it.
we learn so much from you thank you for these tutorials. my work has really improved drastically
That's awesome Collin that's why I keep making these videos! I truly appreciate it the support man
Thank you Eli! You're the Best!
You're welcome Jesus! Thanks for supporting man!
That was a great tutorial and learning material. Great for a Quarantine time.
Glad it was helpful!
I love watching your tutorials, top on my list! I don't know how long before I master all these steps and techniques but I'm surely gonna enjoy and not get bored learning from your videos! Thanks for the free action and raw files.. very helpful when I practice!
You can do it!
@@EliInfante Hi Eli.. how do we "erase" those edits we want to remove or reset? Like example for the Texture layer, if we want to remove/reset the edits we did in that layer, is that possible?
How very sweet & selfless of you to include a free action for us. Thank you for that. Much appreciated.
You're welcome! Let me know how it works out!
@@EliInfante The action gives error messages.
this is such a great tutorial. Thank you so much
You're very welcome!
Excellent! You do beautiful work and are very good at explaining.... thank you!
Thank you very much!
I got this frequency separation action 2 years ago, today I returned to thank you because this technique helped me with cloning a VERY irritating pattern on a sofa cover.
Thank you! ❤️
Dude following you for about 1 year, first videos you have and loving OCF photography since then. Saludos de Sudamerica🙌🏼
Happy to hear that Diego!
You are the man! Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thank you Antonio! :)
Hey guys!! Eli & Roland, so proud of both of you!!
Thanks Maria! Hopefully I'll be able to make it out to WPPI this year.
holy crap your tutorials are the best ive found, you are such a great teacher. thank you so much
Thanks Chris that means a lot man!
Just discovered you on Instagram. Really love your style and teaching method. Thank you for sharing so much! Haven't done shoots like yours at this level so will definitely give it a try!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for giving us a free action!!
Of course Christian! Let me know how it works out :)
@@EliInfante Hi there! I downloaded the action but it doesn't give me an option to "play" it in the action panel :/ any advice?
thank you for this great video and the action - it´s a game changer vor me :)
You're welcome man! Thanks for supporting :)
you are amazing!thanks for share your knowlege you give me a big help!!!really appreciate it!!
You're welcome! Thanks for supporting :)
Love these deep tutorials you got my subscription !! and I don't give it to just anybody :))
Seriously appreciate the feedback! Good to know people enjoy my content
I would also love to see another tutorial for dodge and burn ! Love the first one 😁😍
Thank you so much. Excellent tutorial.
You're very welcome!
I needed this... Thank you.
You're welcome Eric!
🔥 hell yeah
Thank you!
Thanks for the videos. Lots of knowledge.
You're welcome Erick!
Why dont u have many subscribers dude😳
U deserve 10 million ❤❤
Possibly my best follow yet!
Thanks man! Comments like this pump me up!
oneword... Awesome!
You're awesome!
Great video! Thanks a lot! Now I need to figure out how to create actions. I'm a beginner :)
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best technique I have seen. Thank you!
Appreciate it! Let me know how the end results look for you.
I just started watching your videos. You are very easy to understand. I usually edit my raw photos in Lightroom and when I have blemishes or a dark spot or light spots, I bring it into Photoshop. I never really took the time to really dive in and learn color layers etc. I would love to have you choose one of my photos to work on one day.
Happy to help!
I sent you an email from Photographerphotos@gmail.com a few days ago.
very helpful, easy to understand 🙂👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback Putra! That's always my goal when I make video content :)
Editing 👑
Hahaha I wish!
very useful... thank you so much
You're welcome man!
Yeaaahhhhh mennn 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the love man! :)
Good luck
P.s i found you on Instagram for first time
Thanks for supporting Basel! :)
Thanks for great tuts. My brush strokes are mostly perpendicular to the light when using mixer brush, thinking that those spots should have the same brightness, and my stroke can smooth them while mostly keeping the bigger structure untouched. Sort of confused.
Hey Eli I had a great time at this workshop and hope to make it to the next one!
Thanks Jesse! It was great having you out there man! I'll be out traveling around Texas soon.
West Texas Eli, West Texas bro!!
perfecto!!
Gracias!
Great tutorial learning a lot from you these days
Awesome, thank you!
@@EliInfante No sir, thank you

Glad to hear that!
Thankyou very helpful 🤘

Thank you so much 😀
Muchas gracias.
You're welcome Jose!
Came across your channel last night and till today have been watching every video. They are very impressive and informative. Could you please make a tutorial on your complete workflow for editing potraits
I would but the video would be too long and nobody would watch
Thanks for sharing! learning new things from your video. Gracias por mostrar "todo el pedo" jaja
You're welcome man! Thanks for watching :)
🤣🤣 #TODOELPEDO!! Saludos desde Mexico!!
Gracias vato! #todoelpedo
This is the best tutorial I've ever watched on Frequency Separation. Bravo Eli! Can you help to send download link for RAW photo for practice. Much appreciated. Waiting for your response.
I have plenty of RAW files in my other videos that you can use :)
Thanks for the Mixer Brush (MB) tip! I'd been using a hack for it. But, the MB is much easier and way more efficient!
You bet!
❤️📷
Todo el pedo es mucho bueno, thanks Eli.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Excellent work, thx :) Saludos desde Polonia :) Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
Thanks Tom! Appreciate the support :)
Thank you for you sharing so much but I don't understand how to get median adjustment layer?
Gracias
You're welcome! :)
I need your actions!! 😄
Great job Eli! Is that the Benq SW270 monitor, I'm thinking about to get one and wanted to know if it's worth it?
Yes sir its the Benq! I'm loving it so far the price is hefty so it depends on your budget.
Hi!
What the values of median and high pass do you use?
Danny Batista says you need to use at least 30, but it's not always good.
This is the second tutorial of yours I've watched. Thank you for doing them so well! I appreciate you going into detail but not belaboring the point like others sometimes do. Your voice and cadence are nice to listen to too, not grating at all. After you do FS and D&B, do you use portraiture or portrait pro? Or do you do everything in PS?
You are so welcome! I don't use portraiture or portrait pro. I've heard of them before I might give them a try one day.
I've used portrait pro and that doesn't really fix the issues presented here. Just smoothes out too much or not enough. You end up having a lot lot less control with portrait pro, when compared to your tutorial here.

@Eli Infante it´s a very very good tutorial thank you but i have some problemas trying to put the action, could you help me, please please please :( ?????
Update: I resolved the problem changing the lenguage from spanish to english, thank so much for the tutorial please keep doing this kind of videos,are the best!!!!!!!
Maaan your soo good
Thanks man!
Bro How to install fs action in Photoshop...?
Eli, Main thing I still don't understand about Frequency Separation is: What do I when I'm all done? I.e., After I'm done blurring or blending my top or Texture layer and my bottom/Colour layer, what do I use as my final image? What/which do I save? The top or the bottom? Or do I merge or combine them and Save that? When I save, do I "Save As"? My problem is probably I don't understand enough about Layers.
I love your technique. Thanks for the action?
Thanks Sven! Let me know if you need anything :)
@@EliInfante I sure will. I'm new to retouching so every help is appreciated. 😎
great work sir but I want the detailed tutorial on frequency separation. can you make it, please?
and also explain how to create that action
You can download the action, it's a link in the description
This one is good. ua-cam.com/video/Z8mnzVNaiD0/v-deo.html
You got a tutorial on how you got the raw image so freakin clear? I’d be stoked if I got an image like that
Wow! Pilipino ka po pala. Hahahahaha.
Great !!! you are a master .. I love your style, thank you for the action. I'm telling you, I don't know what happens, but the action throws me pure mistakes. In the end, I couldn't do anything in the tutorial. Could you help me please
It gave me errors as well
I got errors too. Many selections were unable to run, therefore the action is not usable and it threw the whole tutorial off :(
@@tinagarcia303 same for me, pls help
Thank you to sharing this.... why do you prefer this method to the Gaussian blur method to mix the colors?
Median does a better job of not blurring the edges when your adding the blur.
Eli Infante thank you
Haz unos cuantos en Espeñol mi hermano!!!! Saludos y abrazos de Honduras
@todoelpedo leaked que lastima de verdad!!! Los latinos somos una muy destacada raza!! Saludos
Thank you sir... ...please do the same thing for the local and global dodge &burn please please please 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥😭💯📸
I will at some point :)
So when brushing with color is it better to leave the layer on normal or will it be better to change it to color to preserve luminosity. I haven’t tried it with later set to normal. I’m gonna try it!
Its really up to you! Try it and let me know what you think.
Hey Eli, I love your work. After I download the Free Frequency Separation Action, where do I put that file in terms of folder so the photoshop can read?
You install it in the photoshop actions panel. As far as folder location its up to you really.
Eli, can you do the same tutorial using Capture One? Appreciate that.
I don't think you can do FS in Capture One 20.
Un favor, ponle subtítulos a tus videos, se ven muy buenos, pero no se inglés jajajaj, muy buen trabajo 👍🏻
Gracias Xavo!
Woowww your in San Antonio too?!
Nah we just had a workshop in San Antonio. I'm from South Texas RGV!
Hey Eli
Excellent content again. I really appreciate your time you spend in showing us your workflow and techniques.
I have a question. Why do you use median filter over gaussian blur for frequency separation. Does it have advantages? I am using gaussian blur.
However. I can't wait for your next video/igram content. I'm so thankful that I somehow found you here. Thanks for your 'free tutorial' ;)
You're welcome! I feel the median filter does a better job when blending the colors. Feel free to experiment with both to see if there is a benefit.
Hello, I purchased your Photoshop actions and in trying to follow along with your tutorials I keep receiving an error message: could not use the clone stamp tool because the source is a group. At first I thought it was my photo so I downloaded your sample. I ensured that I was on the texture layer and sample=current layer. Same error message. How can I fix this problem?
Hi Eli! question, it looks that the action doesn't work. i't gives a fault with selecting, maybe because I'm on a dutch version of photoshop (newest version) can you help me out?
Same here just tried using this action but it wont work , keeps giving me a message saying no selection is not active , loved the Tutorial , but I would be having second thoughts about buying any with no due respect here , but if the free ones don't work .....
@@paulmoss7983 same
I love this video so much but sadly the FS action doesn’t seem to work in Photoshop 2024 😢
I'll see if I can update it over the summer. What is the error that shows up?
You can also press SHIFT + B to change your brush
Yes sir that's what I use as well :)
Hello... I am attempting to use the action and it continues to give me errors.
The action does not work in PS 2021, is there a new version? Thanks!
right i cant get pass the first part bc i cant find it
Hi Eli, I bought your actions and I really appreciate it. It does seem it won't do the first action of selecting layer, maybe because mine is in another language? Could you provide me some help? thanks in advance
The language needs to be set to English.
Do make a video on dodge and burn for the picture
That video will be in the works soon! I'm working on a BTS video right now :)
hi boss, I have downloaded your action from FS but I manage to use it because: its saying the command selection is not available. what to do ?
You need to have a duplicate copy of the background name Layer 1.
Hi!
Really appreciate ur vids! However, I downloaded a cpl of actions from u, but they cant be played, whats up with that? Its the fs and the d/b btw.
Is photoshop set to English?
@@EliInfante No, will that change make it work? 🤔🙂
Not sure if it would work, but I think maybe you should make a copy of the Texture layer than hide the one below, just so you always work on deconstructive layer. In case you make mistakes.
You can by duplicating the texture layer and setting it to normal blend mode plus a clipping mask. I don't do it because I rarely adjust the texture to the point where I might want to decrease it.
Algún día vas hacer alguno de estos vídeos en Español??
I wish Julio but my Spanish isn't great.
Hey @EliInfante. Just recently found your channel. Great stuff! Got to get me a drawing tablet soon.
I tried to load the free FS action, but everything does not work the same in Photoshop v23.1 I think - it creates different layers, but throws warnings on Selection of things so I don't have what you have at the end. Is there any way to update the action or give a tutorial on how to update it ourselves?
Thank you again.
It's not just you, I'm seeing the same thing in PS 23.1.0
Pretty sure the issue isn't the PS version, it's something to do with the layer names and the selected layer when running the action
Thank you! Are you still having this issue?
@@EliInfante I got around it, thanks! As I recall the fix was to flatten my layers first, probably something with a layer name issue. That's worked ever since so I just flatten the image when I'm ready to do FS and the issue hasn't reappeared.
I have not tried again unfortunately but will try the advice from John to flatten things first. Not sure if I had other layers created when I tried it.
I have a question. What is advantages and disadvantages of using Median vs Gaussian Blur?
I believe the sharpness of the edges when creating FS.
@@EliInfante Aaaa I see, makes sense. Another question, what do you do so that your actions stop, and you can choose a custom blur amount?
Damn is this the taken by A7r4? Cause my A7iii can't be that sharp when zoom in 200% or 300%.
Bao Tran My friend Roland used the Sony A73 and Sony 85mm 1.8.
hello sir great tutorila but i have some problem with the action as i load the action and play it the texture layer isn't visible what to do about it? thank you in advance
Is your photoshop set to English?
@@EliInfante yes
Buenas tardes, Se puede usar la accion en version española de photoshp? Gracias
I hope to do it some day Marcos :)
@@EliInfante OK. Thank you. Is it, because the smart acción of frequency seperation do not work on my Spanish photoshop. Thank you.
I have made a duplicate copy layer (background copy) and I consistently see the message "The command Selects is not currently available." Any help would be greatly appreciated. Great video but would love to make the action work successfully.
tampabayaudio Press command/Ctrl J on the background layer. The layer should say Layer 1. You can see it in my video. :)

@@EliInfante Thank you - that worked
@@EliInfanteafter giving a free tutorial,eh i mean action,you still care to see the comment section and helped out...was facing the same problem here...God bless you man...great tutorial
John Huss Hekte I’m glad everything worked out 😁
Hello Eli What version of photoshop is required to use the free action?
I'm not sure let me know if you have any issues.
after I play the action I cannot find the texture layer in the layers palette anybody else having the same issues or maybe I didnt correctly install the action?
That's odd it should work. Send me a message on Instagram so I can help you further.
change the duplicated layer name from whatever name it has to "Layer 1"
@@madalinionita1083 thank yooou! it worked!
Hi Eli
Just a heads up that the action doesn't work with the latest Photoshop version.
Thanks Jeton! I'll look into it bro
so the step to step for Retouching skin: 1- blemish 2- Frequency Separation 3- Dodge&burn. Is that right Eli ?
You can do it anyway you want but that's the way I approach it.
