Frequency Seperation.

So we had learned about Frequency Separation in one of Peter's class's. I found it quite a complicated process to just pick up on my first go, So I decided to go home and have a look for an online YouTube tutorial for this so I can practise it in my own time.

Frequency Seperation is a new innovative technique within Photoshop that allows you to clean up the skin quality without jeopardising the texture of the skin. I felt that this was really useful with this project as I had recently learned about the airbrushing tool and the patch tool in Photoshop, and found them to leave the image looking cartoon like. I wanted something that still made the skin look like skin when you zoomed in but that got rid of the discolouration and lumps and bumps.

I did have to do this step by step tutorial  a few times before I started to recognise what I was doing but I'm proud of my progress as this isn't a skill that comes easily. This has sparked an interest with me, as I feel that this tool completely transforms the image and makes it look a lot more professional. This has definitely inspired me to keep going with regards to learning the different tools on Photoshop and see what all of the tools are capable of. 

I have included the link below so that you can see what I used. 

Here's the link to the tutorial I used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldhG9fmgC7o
