Extra Tip : While working with 8bit images you can keep the same settings as mentioned above in the video. But if you are working with 16bit image there are some changes need to be made, LAYER:COLOR (if you have renamed the color layer), BLENDING MODE (ADD), SCALE to 2 AND OFFSET to 0. and make sure the Invert box is checked.

Not only is this well explained but it is also made easy. Game changer

[@tw9535]

So awesome!! You are the first person I have seen use that brush. Thank you!

[@dorabirk9981]

Amazing fast easy and very well explained thank you so much for this!!

[@mefakhokhessm.5361]

You just nailed something I was trying to accomplish for months..... thanks

[@cubul32]

Put that light a bit down the camera and or to the left if the wall permits, to get some contrast/shadows on your left - cam right. Fill from the right as needed. But a bit of shadow will really make the image more dimensional. Cheers.

[@kimutak123]

Very clear explanation. Thank you sir!

[@godsonejimofor1708]

You’re one helluva tutor mate! (Inserts British accent) but much respect from the states. You explained FS in the simplest way possible!

[@diahsuter]

You are a such a brilliant teacher!

[@TheScar172]

This is the best tutorial!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@JK005]

I have learned so much from your channel. Thank.

[@ronbphotography6271]

Great video. Straight to the point

[@Totonch]

Great tutorial. Easy, fast, and simple. I'm using it right now and is looking amazing in my photos. My only con with this is that you lost the freckles on her nose and cheeks. Is there any way to restore some texture or parts of the skin that (in my understanding) must be there? for example moles, scars, or freckles.
Great video! Thanks!

[@graphicspacechannel9177]

Great one mate 👏

[@ClaesFeldt]

AWESOME !!!!

[@ksphotography730]

Nice video and walkthrough. The skin of your image became a bit to smoothy for my liking though, which could have been avoided by reducing the flow or change the opacity on the layer afterwards. But great walkthrough.

[@menelikesisay]

Thanks you so much 🇨🇭🙏🏿

[@isrissi1]

Thanks Broo

Please make a Video how enhace skin Texture in Photoshop. For high-end beauty photographers.

[@emmanuelsampson3713]

Hi, feaver, thanks for your video. I would like to say that the settings used for the frequency separation is for 8 bit images
For 16 bit, you check the box and set the blending mode to add.

[@britters24]

you should try editing with a wacom pen, its life changing

[@felixakpan1761]

How did you make it easy moving the brush tool??

[@neefc]

is anyone having issues with texture layer not really working? I'm unable to remove texture on that tab. WHat exactly am I doing wrong?

[@adrianzmb92]

What if after all that it paints red

[@chaneykansas]

why cant i click apply image?

[@canonshoooter]

I must have done something wrong because the Mixer brush washed out the skin tone & any definition in the model face.
