The Amazing Power of Frequency Separation

Frequency Separation is one of the most sought after skills for the professional retoucher. The technique involves separating the color and tone of skin from the delicate textures and details. This allows you to edit each independently for perfect skin, every time.

How to Use the Frequency Separation Action

Our Frequency Separation Action is easy to use without sacrificing the power and flexibility of going through the process manually. In a few clicks, you can apply the necessary Layers you can edit and adjust with the Brush Tool, Layer Masks, and Opacity to dial in the look you want.

Perfect Portraits

If you’ve been looking for a way to take your portrait retouching to the next level, this is it! Frequency Separation can give you the professional finish you need to help subjects look their best and keep clients coming back.

  1. Another valuable action to save time A+++

  2. WOW!!! I purchased the yearly Pro Subscription and must say this is the wisest educational investment I have ever made. I have watched a lot of “free” Phlearn tutorials (loved them all) so I knew these would probably be good. I am blown away at how much I have learned from going through only one session, the basic how to use the tools. I realized at the very beginning of this group of lessons that I had only skimmed the surface as to how powerful the photoshop tools are. I considered myself a pretty good photo editor when I started this course but now I can hardly wait to see what new life I can breathe into my photos from this point forward and to consume all that is ahead for me to learn from my subscription! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to “phlearn” in one place instead of getting bits and pieces randomly from all over the place. Aaron Nace, you are my hero!!! Forever grateful, Shirley

  3. Great action that helps streamline your workflow with awesome results!

  4. if you’re taking portraits then this is the technique you can’t live without.
