  • In this video I use the power of frequency separation with affinity photo to remove severe acne from skin. Leaving the skin looking clean and natural. This is quite an in-depth video, so I have provided timestamps in the description to aid viewing. Also I have provided a link to the Affinity Photo project file for you to download and play with.
    0:27 What is frequency separation?
    1:29 Setting the parameters

REALISTC retouch not the made up "high fashion retouch" I here every other video whatever that means but this here is PERFECT for realistic retouches the way it should be and I actually use the Freq sep a hell of a lot more and I can see why it's used. i never used it until now. Thanks for your awesome time put forth in making this video and you def got a sub out of me.

    Amazing tutorial, really cool. Many years ago had a bit of exploration with these and Fast Fourier Transform tools to do all sorts of things inside Photoshop but it was so annoying and convoluted that stopped exploring it.
    This high/low frequency separation is amazing, two nice layers afterwards (interesting that the detail is added back through Lighten blend mode) to play with.

    I'm considering moving from LR & PS into Affinity. Demo's like this will convince me and save me money over a year. Having frequency separation built in is a big points score for Affinity. Good video Scott. Now I need to look at luminosity masks, dodging and burning and enhancing detail to see what Affinity is like in those areas.

    • @ScottWilliamsPhotography
      @ScottWilliamsPhotography  4 года назад

      I moved from LR/PS about three years ago. No regrets at all. I never need them. Some things are even better in Affinity Photo. Luminosity masks are covered by layer blend ranges (check my videos). The other things are covered too. You can dodge and burn in may ways. Detail enhancement can be done with a number of tools, including the local contrast and detail refinement in the HDR persona. They are giving you a three month trial at the moment so it is a great time to try it. It is also 50% off the very reasonable normal price.

    • @Sir_Grumpalot
      @Sir_Grumpalot 4 года назад

      @@ScottWilliamsPhotography Although I have not yet installed/bought a copy all the videos I have watched support your view. I do dodge/burn in a particular way in PS using the history brush and fine tuning luminosity masks on the fly in a very intuitive workflow. At the moment I cannot see a way of doing that in Affinity but then again perhaps I don't need to so why I am looking! The biggest issue in moving away from Adobe CC is beginning to look like losing the superb cataloguing of images in LR. I use, keywords, collections, collection sets and smart collections extensively and the thought of losing that and having to convert my existing organisation to a metadata set up is daunting. It also weakens the financial argument as all the DAM software I have looked at so far which meet my requirements are expensive. Anyone have a good solution to this? One way I will look at is a one off standalone copy of LR if such a thing exists.
