![]() ![]() This will remove the marks and give a perfect color blend in effect. There are many ways to accomplish this step, but we stick to the following one:ĭuplicate the “color” layer and apply Gaussian blur to smooth out all the colors in the image like this…Īpply “vector mask” to the layer (duplicated color layer) and fill the layer mask with black color to hide the image.įinally, select the mask, using soft white brush, paint over the dark marks on the face to reveal the blurred image. Now, we have to remove the dark color spots. You see, we have successfully removed finer details of the marks from the texture. Select the “texture” layer then select “clone stamp tool (S) “ and set sample to “current layer” then remove the marks from her face. To see the amazing power of this technique, lets remove small dark marks on her face. Now, we will see how to use this frequency separation technique to retouch the image. ![]() The result looks the same as original but we have the texture and color information of the image in separate layers. Follow these steps for frequency separation: Duplicate background layer twice. To complete the frequency separation successfully, set the blending mode of the “texture” layer to “linear light”. The result will be a gray looking image which represents high frequency or texture(finer details) of the image. Set the following properties in the palette and click “Ok”. We are going to be subtracting low frequencies (“color” layer) from the current layer. Here you can blend layers in various ways. Unhide the “texture” layer then go to the “image” menu and select “Apply Image” which will open up a palette. Now, let’s separate the high frequencies from the image. ![]() This “color” layer represents the low frequencies of the image. We just removed(blurred out) high frequency information from the image to retain only tone and color, in other words low frequency information of the image. Once you get the result you want, hit “ok”. In the Gaussian blur palette, increase the blur until the fine details disappear from the image. Now, hide the “texture” layer and select “color” layer. Name the top layer as “texture” and bottom layer as “color” like this…. (select the image layer > press ‘Ctrl + J’ twice) Open the image you want to apply frequency separation technique in photoshop or you can download the image that I’m using, please check the link for the image at the top.ĭuplicate the image twice. Now, lets go through step by step process of frequency separation technique Step 1 In other words, it is simply a process of separating texture(image fine details) of an image from its tone and color into separate layers so that we can edit tone & color of the skin and texture separately. Frequency separation is a process of separating high frequency information in an image( like acne, hair, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, skin texture, etc., ) from the low frequency information (like tone and color of the image). ![]()
