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.

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.

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
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.
