Thank you for that Raw to stander workflow solution. Clients do not like RAW adjustments if your working on advertising. Trying to recreate that look and figure out a workaround on clarity, texture sharpening: with your tutorial will help my stress level go down. Wondering, if you have a tutorial workflow that takes RAW color grading (the three color tint) “Midtones, Shadows, Highlights” options and recreate to a standard workflow? Is that possible?
Definitely possible. The easiest solution would be the color balance adjustment layer. But you could also create three solid color adjustment layers set to softlight and use "blend if" so that one targets highlights, the other targets shadows and the last targets the midtones.
Use a much higher radius when doing the High Pass filter (e.g., 30), then invert the layer and set it to Soft Light (over the original layer). That should give you the same effect as negative clarity in Lightroom.
High Pass is not the same as ACR Clarity so does not work. Check on a 11 zone value strip & corresponding histogram. Clarity affects & smooths the mid tones much more, it affects Zone 3-9 better than High Pass which is more blocky
To reduce clarity, invert the clarity layer and set the fill to 0. As you increase the fill percentage, you will decrease clarity. Note however, that both in Photoshop and Lightroom, reducing clarity never gives an attractive result. If you are using it for skin smoothing, instead use the smooth skin neural filter in Photoshop.
Wow.. Extremely useful information here. Thanks greatly for sharing. Love it.
Love your short tips video's, this one is very impressive and so simple. Thanks Rickard.
Thanks Rikard that's really interesting

Could this be inverted?
Is there a way to make a negative clarity effect in Photoshop as you can do in Lightroom or Cameraraw?

But you can't reduce only increase
