i swear this is the best photoshop tutorial channel ever! I loved PHLEARN but when I found this channel, this guy's explanation is much more understandable.
@@michaelcus734 well did you just watch phlearn free TH-cam videos or the pro subscription? The phlearn pro videos are awesome and he doesn't explain as well in the Freeones but yes this guy is amazing and just as good as paid but free which is nuts. I've literally never seen a TH-cam tutorial channel for anything that doesn't leave out the most important info until now Edit: ok I didn't actually watch the video yet before commenting holy shit. Yeah this guy's a god lol perfect explanations. I was wondering what order to blemish, liquify, frequency separation etc and sorta had it figured out but this makes so much sense. You don't need to know this stuff exactly to do it but I always love to know the why and makes it much easier to remember Also just saw he has a patreon I think I'm gonna donate so he stays "free" if he ever makes a structured paid course he's gonna be riiiiiich
No one ever explains the numbers. They always say "somebody just figured them out." Great job Unmesh, explaining the man behind the curtain of Freq separation.
Your explanation is very detailed. It answers the "why" that 's most often forgot. Some people just want to know the "how" to do it, and get it done. Great tutorial 👍🏻
I agree with you Andy. Most tutorials dive straight into the the how and you are often left wondering why one wants to do a particular set of operations. This chap is excellent in that he starts of with the raison d'être for doing something before doing it. Cheers Suresh France
You got that right. I previously bought a course on Photoshop where the guy simply showed the actions and I was like what the hell am I doing and why? What is mask what is layers what is separation. Of course I quit. With Unmesh there is hope for me.
Some people are just really born talented as teachers/instructors. You're a perfect example of that! Instructions are so clear. Even your old vids like these are a gem. If no one has said it, i'll say it now: you are a gift to the photoshop/photography community!
I'm an English teacher and you have inspired me to like science! Oh, and I'm also a photographer. Your technique in the way you explain explaining things is something that is really rare. We need more teachers/DIY youtubers like you!
I've been a digital media pro since the 90's, and I'm still always learning new things from Unmesh. I believe he's a master teacher producing some of the best tutorials on TH-cam.
I've been using Frequency Separation for years and have seen countless tutorials on the subject, but this is the first and only one that actually made me understand why we do what we do, instead of just following a cookbook formula. Thanks for the effort and the crisp presentation. Well done!
My goodness! You are genius! I have never, ever had anything explained so completely and thoroughly. You made Frequency Separation UNDERSTANDABLE! Thank you so very much!
This is the most in-depth and comprehensive video I've seen on frequency separation. I have paid for classes online that doesn't go into this kinda detail about this whole genre. Thank you for breaking it down so well.
thank you so very much, you don't just teach how to do it but you make us understand the process so that we apply it effectively and can remember it. Seriously you are God's gift to humanity. Thank you and God bless you always.
Its the first time I sit to watch a Skin retouching tutorial and someone gives me de complete guide to understand it. You my man are my new BFF teacher in all youtube.
Man! out of the all the photoshop tutorials I've seen, your videos are the most concise, detailed and easy to learn tutorials! And you speak very well and make us understand every step of the way! You've got yourself a new subscriber!
just spent the last hour watching your videos on color balance, skin retouching, then finishing this off. you are an absolutely amazing teacher and i have learned so much from your videos. also on a random note i feel like you can also explain the time space continuum as well as what happens in a black hole's event horizon.
This is the most detailed, comprehensive explanation of frequency separation that I've ever seen. Most other people who teach FS just say: do this, now do this, now do this .... which makes it hard to remember and also hard to introduce variations, because we do not know the underlying reasons for each step. This video is a great gift to photographers - thank you!
You should be a teacher. You have an excellent way with words and an ability to explain things very well. You deserve a place in a university graphic design course as a lecturer.
I'm so glad Bollywood didn't steal you to become a Movie Star. Thanks for making such amazing videos and educating so many all over the world. Keep up the great work!
And yes, I agree with others here... Unmesh, you may have been the best kept secret in the world of Photography. I wake up every day to look up to your "MEANINGFUL" tutorials... You have a Patron!
Your videos are excellent, informative & professional! Very easy to understand & follow. Even for me as a PS & LR newbie. You are right to the point & your explanations & analogies are great! I'm actually enjoying the learning process through your videos! Thank you so much Unmesh!!!
I've been using FS for better than three years. This provided an excellent 'schooling' as to how and why it works. The introduction to the mixer brush was something I hadn't considered.
This dude is the Photoshop Guru and I suspect he has alterior motives to move into politics and subsequently take over a large portion of the global economy
As so many others have said, this is by far the best explanation of frequency separation I have come across and I finally feel I fully understand it. Many thanks. You really are my "Go to guy" when I want to know something in Lightroom or Photoshop.
Very good explanation. Also, slight correction. When talking about frequency, many people might assume you're talking about the frequency of electromagnetic waves that directly get propagated into the human cornea, that eventually form an image. However, that's not the case, you're actually dealing with pixel frequency, as it's colloquially said, which is a composite of waves, that add together to form a certain wave, by addition (mostly), which are added on top of a surface, basically as a colour map. This results in what we call texture, which is a mostly (usually) repetitive pattern which has constant and very fast contrast changes, resulting in fast changes in frequency. The example you show with oscillations doesn't translate what happens with the electromagnetic waves per se, it's actually a measure of the changes in frequency, caused by the fast contrast changes that happens when dealing with textures. It's also very important to note that different textures might have different Fourier transforms, depending on the kind of texture (regular, irregular, etc.), which means that frequency separation might have to be done in different ways depending on the kind of texture. However, skin texture is almost always mostly regular. This is just a technical correction, and of course there are many other things happening on how images are rendered and how these textures get created into a digital image, but that has no real value to this topic. Other than that, perfect :)
Yeah, the introduction also made me cringe. I mean, as a software tutorial it's on point, but at best very misleading in explaining the principles behind the algorithm, which is ironic seeing how many comments praise the video for finally explaining frequency separation principle.
I have watched numerous videos on Frequency Separation. No one that I've watched has gone into such detail on what it means. This is by far the best video I've seen on the subject.
Have to say that was one of the most helpful and practical sessions I've had on frequency separation. Never used the mixer brush in my life !! I am now !
I have watched tutorials online for years but I always had a step wrong, but with your tutorials wow you cant miss a step your awesome men thank you very much for being this blessed and sharing with the world you lit my candle today.....
thanks for another wonderful upload. I think I have watched most of the videos there is on frequency separation, but none explained why there is scale 2 and offset 128, thanks for clearing that concept. :) But I do have a question, why do we have to change subtract to add when working with 16bit image and check the inverse??
ok wow, in 1 minute you teached me how frequency/hertz works way better than any teacher I've ever had. For that alone you deserve a thumbs up, great work!
You were born to be a Teacher! Awesome work! Never thought I would have done it, but you helped me to do this. Thanks! May God gives you more to share!
Thanks for a great tutorial I thought that frequency was not to do with time frequency but frequency per cm. Skin detail (pores and fine creases) occur perhaps 20 times per cm but colour (blotches shadows ) occur 2-3 times per cm ie at a lower frequency.
Continuesly watching your video since 1 month and now ... I m a fan of your work . U r doing far better than the institutes which is providing us education of these software. Hats off
There is a non destructive way to do this with the mixer brush. You could just turn off visivility of the high key layer (details), create a new layer in the middle of low key and high key layers, check "sample all layers" in the mixer brush options and start painting in the new layer, that way you sample the color layer but the painting is made on that separate layer, so you can erase or low the opacity if the efect is too hard.
@@hawaffenna If you paint with the wet brush on a new layer with the "sample all layers" checked, you just use the eraser tool. This works ONLY if you use the mixer brush on a new layer on top of the photography layer
i dont even need to subs to skillshare or anything else anymore since this guy explained everything about photoshop in detailed way, more than those amateur gurus! thank you unmesh, for being a gift!
I've been working photoshop since cs3 , this explanation is the shortest fastest example to a rudimentary understanding of freq sep. Amazing tutelage!! Thank you!!
I have been using frequency separation for years. Yet, this is the first time that i've seen such a clear and easy to follow explanation of the technique. You're a masterful teacher.
Wow! I have been using the frequency separation technique for about a year and never knew all the details of why certain steps were done until i watched your video. Your tutorial is by far the best explanation about this process and I thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge,.
thank you so much!!! you actually helped everyone understand what Frequency separation is!!! much more useful than just memorising the STEPS and not knowing what we are doing. takes time for some of us to be a science guy, you totally saved us.
I used to follow your latest video. Now I decide to go deeper to the oldest. What I noticed is surprisingly great. You are best. After following some of your tutorial of photoshop for beginners. I keep proclaiming myself as designer.u put all each ingredients at it right place. Dem you are best❤❤❤❤
Frequency Separation explained with the physics, the meaning of the numbers and all the whys behind it! You are an awesome photo editing teacher if not the best on this planet! Thanks a lot.
I have now watched 3-4 of your tutorials and have decided to become a patreon, simply because what I have learned from those few videos is worth every penny! Your descriptions of the techniques you show are so well explained that I have a better understanding of how Photoshop works, I have been somewhat self taught until now, but it is as if the fog has been cleared and I really understand whats going on with frequency separation, layers, blend modes etc. Your teaching style is the most effective I have encountered, thank you.
HELLO! Greetings from Venezuela. THANK YOU for your videos, they are great. There is literally no better person than you to explain and clarify any questions you may have. I am loving your channel since it has totally changed my mind in the way I use Photoshop and it has generated BETTER results. THANKS AGAIN ... Totally recommended.

correct
same thought
Because not everyone knows everything except for Unmesh 😂
yes darian
a lot of people make photoshop videos but you're the first one to have such understanding of what you're doing
Frankly a guy not only opens his heart to us amateurs, he does it with a smile. Keep up the good work.
I came here to learn about frequency separation, now I'm preparing for my physics exam.
lol
DUde 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha ha, yeah mee too.. But it's was interesting learning in depth in short and sweet
🤣🤣😂😂
