hi, OK. Ive sorted it out now. I think it was the way I either duplicated the layers or made new layers
Hi Joanne, glad you sorted it, let me know if you have any other problems.
Hi Karl,
Im having trouble with my hf layer. I set up my background layer, made two duplicates, applied the gaussian blur to the lf layer. I then applied the settings for the hf layer and hit ok. all looking good so far but then when I change the hf blend mode to linear light instead of the original image popping up the image just gets too light to see. Whatever am I doing wrong ? Im working alongside your video for frequency separation
Thank you
Yes, I have the same issue. Any ideas?
Ok, I googled a bit and found that the solution is to put the Scale value in the apply image window to 2. By default it is set to 1. If you change that value it works.
