In this video I'm just going to show you how to retouch your photos in less than 10 minutes
using the frequency separation technique.
So before we start if you're new on this channel my name is Eustace
and if you want to see more videos like this please subscribe and smash
that bell icon so that when I put up my next video you will be notified.
So we said less than 10 minutes so let's put a count down on the screen
So let's make the frequency separation layers I'm going to go down on this background
layer I'm going to make two copies of this background layer ctrl J on the keyboard,
so I'm going to press control J (1) and then ctrl J (2)
the first one I'm going to name it color, the second one I'm going to name it texture.
okay so this is our texture layer and this is our color layer so I'm going to disable our
texture layer I'm going to click on this eyeball and then I'm going to select the color layer
and then I'm going to go to filter and then I'll select
noise and then I'll select dust and scratches so by default the radius is one
so what I want I want to to subtract or to remove the textures from the color layer so
I'm going to select the place or the area in the photo that has a lot of textures
let me select this part this part right here so I'm going to increase the radius value to 10
so this radius value is not automatic like every
time you're supposed to to use the radius value of 10
so this radius value will go according to the
textures that that are in the photos that you are working on
so in my case the radius of 10 is fine I don't want
to go overboard I don't want her skin to be like that
I want to remove the textures but I can still see the features of her face
10 and then I'm going to click OK
the next thing that I'm going to do
I'm going to go to the texture layer and then I'm going to enable it here
so we're going to go to image and then we are going to select apply image
so by default here on the layer it's on merged
the channel RGB
and then blending option is on multiply so we are going to change these settings
so on the layer here we are going to select the color layer the one that we made which is here
it's one that we are going to select we are going to put it here
and then on the RGB we are going to leave it the way it is the
blending option here I'll change it to subtract because I'm subtracting the colors
from the texture
so I'm going to select subtract
and then scale I'll set the scale to the maximum and the maximum value of the scale is 2.
I want to remove all the colors from the textures
layer so I'm going to set my offset to gray, 50 percent gray that's 128.
so you can see all the colors are gone like we don't have the
colors in this layer we only have the textures of her skin
so I'm going to click OK
and then I'm going to go to blending on here and then I'm going to select linear light
so we are going to put these adjustments into a group I'm going to select the texture layer
and then I'm going to hold control and then I'll select the color layer
and then I'm going to hold ctrl plus G on the keyboard to put them into a group
so we will name this group as frequency
separation
and then we are going to press enter on the keyboard
so this is our before
this is our after
if I disable this, I'm supposed to see the original photo
if I enable it I'm supposed to see the original photo
now let's proceed with our retouching
I'm going to open our group here
and then I'm going to select the color layer
and then I'm going to go on my tools here
and then I'm going to select the lasso tool so what I want if I make a selection like this
I don't want whatever I'm going to apply to this selection just to be limited to this selection
I want it to go further, I want it to go outside the selection
just a little bit outside this selection
let me deselect this so, I'm going to go to
feather here and then I'm going to change it to 20 pixels
because I want when I make a selection like this
whatever I'm going to do to be 20 pixels outside my selection so I'm going to select this part
so when doing the selection don't just select like this
or you select like this
or you select like that
so select according to the shape like let me make a selection like
I'm going to select
I'm going to select this according to where it's going like I'm going to select it like
the way it is up to somewhere here and then I'm going to go back and then I'll join it here
and then I'm going to go to filter
and then I'm going to select blur
and then I'm going to select gaussian blur
so do you remember when we were working on the color layer
let me just go back just a bit when we went on filter and then we selected noise
and then we selected the the dust and scratches we had a radius of 10
so what I'm going to do now I'm going to apply the blur
that's three times our radius if you went for for the radius of five
make the blur three times the radius of five
so let's do that I'm going to go to filter and then I'm going to select
blur and then I'm going to select gaussian blur so I'm going to go three times the
radius of 10 pixels so I'm going to go with the radius of that so I'm going to enter 30 here
so you can see it's changing here then I'm going to click OK
so I'm going to select this part
then I'm going to go back to filter and then blur then gaussian blur
and then I'm going to go with the radius of 30 I'm going to click OK
so I'm going to select this part select it like this
so instead of going back to filter blur and then gaussian blur
I'm going to go to filter and then just on top here
you see the shortcut to the same process that we did
it's alt plus control plus F
so I'm just going to to do control plus alt plus F
so I'm going to select this part
control plus alt plus F
here on the nose I'm going to change the radius to a smaller number I don't want the radius of 30.
let me show you if I go to filter I select blur and then I select gaussian blur
this is our before
this after like the nose is now flat I don't want her nose to be flat
so what I'm going to do
I'm going to reduce the radius to 0
0.1 and then I'll start pushing it up let's say maybe 15
then I'm going to click OK
so this is our before
this is our after
so I'm going to deselect this right click and then deselect
so what we're going to do now we are just going to remove the blemishes we are going
to remove the pimples so I'm going to go to our frequency separation folder
and then I'm going to open it and then I'm going to select the texture
and then I'm going to go to my tools here and then I'm going to select the clone stamp tool
so I'm going to make the brush bigger than the pimple or the blemish that
I want to remove so I want to remove this pimple here I don't know if you can see it
so make this brush bigger than this pimple so I'm going to hold alt to sample
so I want to sample this part
and then I'll paint it on the pimple
so set the sample here to current don't set it to current and below or all layers
then I'm going to go down here I want to remove this so I'm going to select
this part I'm going to hold alt on the keyboard and then I'll sample this part
and then I'll paint there
I will sample even this part and then I'll paint the there
sample this part then I'll paint the pimple
so I want to remove this I'm going to sample here then I'm going to paint like that
I'm going to sample here
then I'm going to paint like that if you want to learn how to remove the blemishes
I do have a video on this channel I'll put it in the description you can just go and watch it
then I'll sample here then I'll paint then I'll sample
I'm going to sample here then I'll clean like that and then I'll sample
you in this part and then I'll clean it like that
This is our before
This is our after
so the next thing that I'm going to do I'm going to do the teeth and eye
whitening I'm going to whiten in the teeth and the eyes I have a video about
teeth and eye whitening I'll put it in the description you can just watch it
I'm going to use my actions to do the teeth and eye whitening
I'll put the link in the description you can just go in the description and download it and use it
so I'm going to go to my actions and then I'm going to select the teeth and dye whitening
I'm going to select this
and then I'm going to go to this teeth and eye whitening folder
I'm going to open it and then I'm going to select the photo filter adjustment here
I want to select the brush
and then my opacity is at 100 percent
flow is at 100 percent
since the layer mask here is black I'll set the foreground color to
white so that when I paint white on a black layer mask it's going to show us the effect
so I'm going to make the brush a little bit smaller and then I'll paint here
I don't want to whitening the eyes and the teeth on one layer
I'm going to run another teeth and eye whitening
I'm going to go to my actions and then teeth and eye whitening fold
I'm going to open it and then I'm going to whitening the teeth
so I'm going to zoom it in
I'm going to whitening the teeth now
so this is our before
This is our after
