Pro Tip: If you hate making the layers every time, you can make the creation of the Frequency Separation layer by saving the steps as an Action. With one touch of the play button with a saved action, you can have your layers up and running instantly. Also, my favorite Frequency Separation action is located in the Tony Kuyper Luminosity mask panels... They are a lot better than making them manually...TK panels Freq Sep has some sort of secret sauce for Landscape, haha. Thanks!
Thank you. In real estate photography all sorts of lighting can cause flare. fairly simple and it did a bang up job. Readjusting the high pass filter at the end blended the correction in well. thanks again.
This channel looks interesting!! I loved this video and it came useful for an astro shot with the moon. Thank you! Subscribed, and waiting for more editing tips for landscapes, especially on Photoshop :P
I must me missing something here, you are just cloning other areas of the image, so why the frequency separation layers? They don't seem to add anything that you get from straight cloning?
correct, FS saves the texture. If you just use cloning, the correction doesn't look as seemless. Give it a try and compare the two. It's more difficult to get a good result with just a simple clone.
The technique focuses more on cloning the colour/tone of the image (in the second layer of the grouped folder) instead of cloning the photo detail. In other words - Cloning the overall blurred colour/tone layer to remove the unwanted colour variations (lense flair spots).
This is not really a good technique for frequency seperation, you are not suppose to see a difference in the image before and after, you shouldnt need a mask afterward
thanks...what would you suggest? I'm having trouble refining a manual version, so I'm just using an automatic action now from another photographer. It works better than this one, but still changes the image at the end and I end up masking still. Let us know your technique! Thanks!
@@themagicallandscape starts the same way, its just the texture layer that chNge, you select it, then go to image, apply image, select the layer "color" you just did, check invert, bleding is "add", scale at 2, press ok and then change the layer to linear light, and voilà
@@Digit0wL I'm trying to follow your version of frequency separation, but not sure what is meant by "just the texture layer that chNge, you select it, then go to image, apply image". Do you mind reexplaining your texture layer steps please?
All good I found the video tutorial on the "apply image' Frequency Separation method. A couple things to note. The "add" option is applied for 16-bit images. The 'subtract' option is used for 8-bit images. Having said that, the texture layer shows the lense flair detail. So the ' "apply image' Frequency Separation method' alone won't work in this instance. So I tried combining both methods. Used the "apply image' Frequency Separation method but without inverting. Then used high pass as a smart filter on the same layer. Since the high pass level can be tweaked, in combination with the "apply image' Frequency Separation method the issue on the crunchy look can be adjusted out.
Such a great tool to have in the Photoshop bag! I have no fear shooting into the sun anymore...Thanks🙂
👊🙏👍 I feel the same way! I was so amazed when I learned how to do it properly!

Thank you so much for this. Just shot a wedding where I had no choice but to shoot straight into the sun and a few images needed this type of work.
@Jenni Keiter So glad the video helped! Thanks for watching 🙂🙏

An excellent and very helpful video. Thank you.
This was soooo helpful. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! Thanks for viewing 🙏
thank you so much this worked so good
Nice trick. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for viewing 🙏🏼
👍👍
Hello… would this work on a face? I have a wedding that has family photos and several faces are affected
It should help. Look up frequency separation for portraits for more in depth techniques.
idk what to say, but, Thanks!
you're welcome!
I must me missing something here, you are just cloning other areas of the image, so why the frequency separation layers? They don't seem to add anything that you get from straight cloning?
I wonder this as well. Why not just use the clone tool? Maybe to save the texture?
correct, FS saves the texture. If you just use cloning, the correction doesn't look as seemless. Give it a try and compare the two. It's more difficult to get a good result with just a simple clone.
Ok im a beginner to ps but why couldnt we start with the clone stamp tool ? What was the use of the other two layers ? 🤔
The technique focuses more on cloning the colour/tone of the image (in the second layer of the grouped folder) instead of cloning the photo detail.
