This tutorial originally appeared in N-Photo, the monthly newsstand magazine for Nikon photographers. So it means you can smooth out rough patches in the skin while retaining the all-important texture, which helps to prevent the plasticky look that plagues bad portrait retouching. This separates the high frequency (the fine details, lashes, lips, skin pores) from the low frequency (the wider colours and tones that make up the skin) making it easy to edit one separately of the other. Quick tipĪs well as the High Pass technique, Affinity Photo also offers a dedicated Frequency Separation command ( Filers>Frequency Separation) for retouching. Add a mask and paint to reveal the stronger contrast over the eyes. Next, make another Curves layer and plot a stronger S-shape. Plot a shallow S-shaped curve to add punch.
