High Pass and Low Pass | Photoshop Advanced Tutorial

Photoshop Cloning - How to Clone with High Pass and Low Pass Frequency Separation

Photoshop Cloning - How to Clone with High Pass and Low Pass Frequency Separation

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 9 minutes

This Adobe Photoshop Cloning Tutorial is about the High Pass and Low Pass Frequency Separation method of cloning. We covered many different topics in our Photoshop Extended Cloning Video Tutorial, but we wanted to give you this advanced way to clone, as a sample of the content you can find in the full video.

If you use the Clone Stamp Tool, Healing Brush, or Spot Healing Brush straight onto a layer, you are making an exact clone with little control over the fine details. If you approach your clone with a High Pass Layer for texture, and a Low Pass layer for color and tone, you greatly increase your ability to soften or remove skin blemishes, facial hair, and even pores, without a dreaded repeating pattern.

Photoshop Tutorial – Refine Edge Tool, Mask Edge & Mask Palette

February 26, 2011 by John Ross

Photoshop Tutorial - Refine Edge Tool, Mask Edge & Mask Palette

Photoshop Tutorial - Refine Edge Tool, Mask Edge & Mask Palette

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 11 minutes

This Photoshop tutorial video is going to cover the Refine Edge Tool. We are going to combine two completely different images into a single photograph. The goal of this video to take you out of your comfort zone, and show you a new way to work.

I have quickly become a huge fan of the Photoshop Refine Edge tool. It's easy to use, nice results, and better than anything else out there for fine masking hair against busy backgrounds. In this example, I use the Refine Edge to extract the hair from a colorful flow background, and place the image onto a blue gradient with near seemless results.

Photoshop Tutorial – Defringe Tool

Photoshop Tutorial - Defringe Tool

Photoshop Tutorial - Defringe Tool

This video is available Free for Everyone.
Running Time: 12 minutes

This Photoshop Tutorial video on how to use the Defringe, White Matting and Black Matting Tools. Most images don't really have a need to use these tools, but when they can be used, it's great to know they are there. Halos or Fringe Edges sometimes appear after a selected object has been placed onto a new background. While you should have created the mask using a brush and a QuickMask for a nice tight selection. However, sometimes the object is so intricate, that a manual selection just isn't practical.
