what I love most about your tutorials is that you teach the fundamentals behind the technique, that way it is very easy to adapt the techniques to different types of photography. Congrats for all your great work.
Your tutorials are simply the best! Love your teaching style, crystal clear, and your lessons cover both basic and advanced techniques flawlessly. You have a gift for sparking creativity. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have learn well from this channel...literally as soon as I had access to the remove brush, I immediately thought of using the frequency separation
nice to see this video
After they introduced the new tools some months ago, i directly implemented them into my FS workflow! Glad you are showing it here as well! Safes so much time!
Absolutely! Your skill in utilizing new stuff in your workflow is commendable. 😎
This technique works so well and looks so natural! Thank you so much!!
The Remove Tool has gotten so good in recent years. It even seems to learn on the spot as you apply a second and third pass. It’s amazing.
Once again you have saved my life Unmesh!!!! 🤣 Just used Frequency Separation to even out blotchy background of black & white photo and it worked brilliantly!! Thank you!
Outstanding as always Unmesh, Thankyou 👍
Thank you for sharing your experience, tips and tricks
Whoa, PiXimperfect! Diving into this tutorial felt like unearthing a Photoshop treasure chest! 😄 The Modern Method of Frequency Separation is like the secret sauce we've all been missing. With the Remove Tool in play, who needs a magic wand? It's baffling that Adobe hasn't rolled out the red carpet for this method yet. And while I'm all for the art of meticulous editing for those portfolio gems, sometimes we just need that quick sprinkle of editing magic. Can't wait to pit this method against the old-school FS in a Photoshop duel! Keep those fun and insightful tutorials coming! 🚀
Love your tutorials, I have learnt so much from you and save your videos for easy referencing later.
I've just tried this method - amazing. Thank you.
Perfect timing! Just the tutorial I needed!
Thank you so much 4 this. Now we can spend more time in setup the lights at the shooting
Nice work! I always enjoy your tutorials.
Thank you for this new technique. I will try and compare with "usual 8 and 16 bits FS", not only for the fact it's muuuch faster but also to compare both results. I'm sure that it's going to make us win a lot of time for retouching that are just used in low def for sure, and what's interesting is to see if HD pictures work with this technique can keep the skin as realistic as usual FS can do 😀👍 I already imagine mixing both techniques to have the best control and a good balance between speed and quality 😉 Thank you Unmesh, always on top 👍
I watched your all series of retouching but I this is gold 🥇
Yay! So glad you think so.
Excellent tutorial, thank you. I hope someday to become like you, you inspire me a lot to keep learning.
Thank you @PiXimperfect ! Another clear and helpful video.
Thank you! Always helpful and interesting.
Another fantastic video from piximperfect. Thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I followed along the tutorial. This is really helpful! Thanks Unmesh!
So glad to know, thank you!
You continue to amaze!
really nice tips n trick for retouching in the new version of photoshop 😁
Thanks! It’s really helpful!
Awesome! Thanks Unmesh!
this video is so great and so much helpful!! thx a lot!
Thank you very much, as always very useful ❤
Great job as always
Great tutorial as always! In all these years that frequency separation has been a major thing in PS, I'm surprised Adobe still hasn't implemented a button to generate it automatically, and that we still have to rely on actions.
I wonder the same! At least give us a Default action, right?
@@PiXimperfect brother can you make a playlist in Hindi or Urdu language? for more understand ( i write the sentence with the help of google translate ) GOD bless you more 😊
it was in v1 of Affinity Photo as a menu item.

The brush only paints black strokes. How kan I fix this? Does not work
@@becher1380 You shouldn't be using the brush there. You should be using the remove tool.
thank you for creating
this
Funny. I used to adjust individual frequencies with a nifty photoshop plugin called Equalizer ( part of Kai Power Tools 6.0, if I remember correctly ), some 20 years ago! It worked great for removing unwanted discernable patterns in tillable textures ( like grass ), and was extremely intuitive. Note: I still have it somewhere, though one needs Photoshop 8.0 for it to work. KPT was awesome; still is, in fact.
i mean one touch and go, why not. tried it and yours is definitely less intense than theirs. So will be using it, really appreciate the share bro!
Thank you so much 🙏
Hi Unmesh. Love the help you provide us beginners with your videos. Do you have a recommendation on how you would remove, well actually decrease wrinkles or reduce aging effects? Family pics are getting awkward …… Thanks again.
Im really interested and it saves a lot of time without error thank you so much.. Which one should I purchase to make the action work?
As usual, Top Class!
Great tutorial as usuall
excellent video! thanks
Thank you so much for your great tutorials 😊🙏🏼 Can you please post a tutorial on how to edit newborn photos?
thanks buddy❤
Great. Thank you
I’d love to see a video where you do this using Retouch 4 Me frequency separation. Not sure how to incorporate it. Thx!
I loved your channel❤❤❤
Love this
I bought and used your code, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this magics tricks and tips
Fantastic video !!!
Great, thanks.
You are the photoshop master
Good day for learning
Great tutorial! I think this technique works very well when you need to work fast and have lots of images to retouch. The only thing I would say is- if you are working on your own portfolio images and you want the best quality retouching, I would still take a bit more time in order to preserve the skin texture and make the portrait look as natural as possible. If you have time, I would suggest this workflow: use Liquify first if needed > removing the main blemishes first (the new Remove Tool is amazing for this) > do dodging and burning > do some light adjustments using frequency separation > create a brush layer like in your first example to fix remaining problems > do another dodge and burn, this time to make accents > add noise to mimic skin texture if lost > add final contrast and colour adjustments if needed.

Doesn't work with the tool. When I brush over an area, a stroke of color with a pattern in black and white is created. As if someone had painted into the picture with a brush. Is it possible that the Remove Tool doesn't yet work in the current Photoshop? I couldn't do any skin retouching with it either. It always just creates this weird greasy streak of paint. Any idea how to fix that bug?
Thank you
always best content
crazy good stuff
great tutorial! Can you make a tutorial for the free retouchforme frequency separation plugin?
Best Photoshop teacher ever
The trifecta is Aaron Nace (Phlearn, the OG), Jesus Ramirez (Photoshop Training Channel), and Unmesh here. They were extremely formative in my progression into pro work, and I keep coming back for refreshers, or just learn new stuff! Amazing people indeed
ur amazing dude
I applied the technique to a friend's portrait and it works like a charm, my computer is old and slow so it takes a little to perform the operation but the result is quite amazing. I also used another technique I learned from you to brighten eyes, which I usually would do in LRClassic, duplicate layer, change to linear light, filter, other, high pass (dunno if correct as mine in Italian) then inverted mask and paint on the eyes to reveal, this layer along with the high and low pass ones, result is quite amazing for a nerd!!!
Grazie!!!
Sounds like some form of Photoshop edit, not Lightroom, if you need to work in layers and have the various blend modes and layer filters.
@@vacoulterYOU Of course I mean photoshop, I almost learned to use frequency separation to smoothen skin and also the other trick to brighten eyes but I wonder if first duplicate layer, convert to linear light, apply filters-other->high pass then invert mask and reveal and then use the frequency separation on top of this layer to smoothen skin
@@GiovanniApreaCapri if you put that layer on top of the standard freq sep, that sounds similar to what i do... basically 2 layers of intense hi pass with highly-smoothed layers underneath (I use mix of surface blur and gausian, widely masking out the main outlines in the gausian laye to prevent muddiness)... I think the effect is gorgeous.
Btw I love your videos Unmesh bhai, keep up good work
Thx, master
Do you have an Illustrator for beginners? Your way of teaching is impeccable 👌
Very useful
Thank you so much for your fantastic tutorials!! I just tried this method, used your frequency separation action, but when I use the remove tool (I unclicked "sample all layers" and I am using it on the copy of the low frequency layer) it leaves visible pale areas on the image, in exactly the shape of the area I used the remove tool on. Almost like I'm painting with a hard brush in a slightly different color from the skin. Any ideas what might be wrong? Any way to "reset" the remove tool?
Hi Unmesh! Thank you for the tutorial, this is very helpful. I have a couple of questions, though. First, after applying the PiX Frequency Separation action, when I have the Low Frequency layer invisible and the High Frequency layer visible, the image does not turn greyscale (as it shows in the video), it remains coloured but the textures get enhanced (as if clarity and sharpness got boosted). Why could it be and does it influence the workflow/ efficiency of using the action? Second, is it possible/ advisable to remove unwanted textures in the image just the way you worked with tones in the video (i.e., make a copy layer High Frequency and use the Remove tool)? Thank you!
was just thinking about this
Never herd of this term. Had to click in and check it out.
Always love your tutorials. I've been having a lot of trouble accessing the Remove Tool. Updated Photoshop, restarted and adjusting Image Processing settings to More Stable as well. Whenever I click it says it's unable to access the function. Can I just use the Healing Tool in general when adjusting the Low Frequency instead of the Remove Tool?
Good and Thank so much IRAN
Gracias :)
truly THE photoshop god
Hi! Does this work on all skin tones?
Hi @Piximperfect, Could you please make a video about Retouch4me frequency seperation and compare it to your current work? Thank you so much.
I just wish the plug ins weren't so darn expensive!
But as always great job.
This channel deserves more more & more subscribers than technical guruji has
Whenever we do meet aliens, they might "see" us with different frequency sensitivities and we might look like monsters to them lol
Ngl seems unlikely, aliens should have a similar, downward sloping MTF curve in their vision. The main way they'd differ is in terms of what spectrum of light that would be visible to them, which would be determined by the star at their solar system of origin.
Worry not, we'd probably look like monsters to them anyway though.
@@thatcherfreemandeep
We gonna look like monsters regardless
@PIXimperfect Thanks for the video. I didnt find the frequency separation action at the link in the description. At that link, only the rain drops action is there. Where can I find?? Thanks
When, in the workflow, would wrinkles be "touched up"? I keep seeing tutorials of young models without this issue.
Thank you for what you do!
There is a way and a video on how to do high frequency separation on iPad and it’s great to have the iPad option. Different steps but the same as the desktop!
Hi, first thing to say is that, not only do I appreciate the information and knowledge you share in your videos, but I also love your enthusiasm! I have a question - is there an automated method to create and apply luminosity masks to multiple images in Lightroom? AI? I am trying to speed up and simplify my workflow. At the moment I have to blend layers in Photoshop with manual luminosity masks, sort of as a manual HDR blending 3 images rather than a single exposure. I've been trying to send images off to a retoucher recently but the results have not been good. Thanks!
When I'm working with a roll from a single shoot, I sometimes make an action for most of the steps for one image, and then play the action on the similar images. It's not the best solution and I sometimes have several actions to delete after a job if the shots have various angles and lighting or models etc, but it's shaved a little bit off of my workflow. I hope that makes sense? And maybe helpful!?
Do you have a video on removing a wall shadow from a portrait
True magician :)
How do I send pictures to this channel. Subscribed
I seldom edit any photos professionally, though I'm a hobbyist photographer and editor but I don't spend this much time applying all the stuff that you do, yet I always end up watching your tutorials which have nothing to do with my professional work (Amazon PPC and SEO). That's how enjoyable your videos are!!!
Great video! Although, when i paint over as mentioned at 8:03, I leave pink marks. I am new to photoshop and may be missing on the basics, but could you please help get rid of the pink marks? Thank you :)
My G, I still use your OG skin smoothing action.
Unmesh!!! You should have been a professional baseball player - every one of your videos... Not just a hit, but a grand slam!!!
I have some but not all of the Retouch4Me plugins. (Missing are fabric, both of the eyes, teeth, color match, and backdrop).
1. What happens if I try to use your one-click plugin, and one or more of the R4M plugins aren't there?
2. Some of the R4M plugins offer a 0 to 200 value, others 0 to 100 value. How does your plugin know what values to use on a per plugin-by-plugin basis? In their panel, if you opt to run all of the plugins, they just use whatever the last value used was (when manually configured).
3. Similarly, some of these offer a softlight option, same question...
THANK YOU again for your constant contributions!!!!
The high frequency is the highpass filter?
Nice intro and music
*first time...bro....i'm from VietNam with love*
The remove tool did a schitty job when you first tried it at exactly 2:06.. removed the blemish but smothered the area.
Yes, the Remove tool does not look good if you zoom in and look at the details. He's really teaching a bad technique here.
Great tutorial!!
how many different plugins did you use and which were they? They are extremely pricy. if you used many of them, it could cost many hundreds of dollars just to do what you demonstrated. It is very cool but wow!
Thank you for the tutorial and the action :)
Great video, as always. (You’re the best) My question though, do people still do frequency separation? Of the 2 professional retouchers I know, and the 2 that I follow, none do FS. Each of them just remove blemishes and D&B.
FS should be seen as just one tool in your arsenal not a one-stop solution, it has been touted as the only way to go but it's not.
As with all tools and techniques in Ps, it's how you use them that matters.
Due to your videos I finally found the nerve to buy Photoshop.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, but when you load actions it stays in a gray layer, where could I have made a mistake?
I wish you would have included working on the High Frequency layer. How and when to do that.
You would work on the high frequency layer when you want to work on the skin texture. One tip I would give you is to view the high frequency layer on its own and then use the Clone Stamp as it preserves texture by copying, and combine it with Healing brush and Patch Tool when needed.
Is this better than the smooth skin neural filter?
Are there neural filters built into photoshop that do what Retouch4me heal does?
nice
Thanks so much for this! I'm a big fan.
When I try to use this method however, everytime I use the remove tool the resulting brush stroke is a gray line instead of blending the skin as in your video. As far as I can tell, I've followed your directions step for step. I've gone back through multiple times and can't figure out what's causing this. Any suggestions?
Me too! Please help!
