Excellent tut Paul!
I’m just getting into this and it is extremely helpful.
I was working on a 16-bit image and came across the Apply Image settings which I am sharing here:
For the Low Frequency the guidance on FStoppers was to Invert the channel, but then set blending to Add (not Subtract). Lastly, Scale was still 2, but offset was 0 (instead of 128).
This is the tutorial on frequency separation that I’ve been missing!
