  • In today's video I will be sharing my process of using Frequency separation with the mixer brush in Photoshop for skin retouching.
    A lot of pros dislike the use of Frequency Separation because they believe it is a destructive way of retouching but for a long time I have been using this technique together with Dodge and Burn and in this two part video, you will get to see the way I use them.
    The term sounds very complex when when you understand how to use it, it's a very quick way to retouch portraits and in this video we get to see how I use it.

      @@Phloshop Being a newbie to retouching, I noticed that it doesn't take away the pimples and skin pores and all those skin imperfections. It evens out the tones but not the texture. Am I doing something wrong?

    • @Phloshop
      @Phloshop  4 роки тому

      Bunmi Adefisayo oh no.. what you’re doing is right. It means you didn’t heal the skin blemishes before using frequency separation.
      I’ll recommend you watch this video of mine
      ua-cam.com/video/Yrmp7tQSCjg/v-deo.html
      And then come back to this to understand Frequency Separation better. And then let me know if you have any more issues.

Do you have a video of the exact thing you do to photos taken raw before brining it to Ps. Most especially If you use LR? Also, can we use FS on a non make up face of a model? Most especially men, i noticed all of the videos i have watched is with makeup faces. If no, then how do we edit and retouch a non make up face of a model(male or female) thank you. I hope you can reply and help me with answers.

What i noticed is that when i start passing the brush on the skin the icon on the top left (the white square) I'm seeing a brown circle in the middle of mines but I'm not seeing that with yours....
