Hello, I hope you are having a great day!
While retouching I have encountered a small blurring of pixels when I use Frequency Separation...
Has anyone else come across this issue and is there a fix/ am I doing anything wrong?
Kind Regards,
Pandos
I have used a variety of actions and tried creating my own. The blur happens on all..
I will try using 16 bpc..
You say 'when performed correctly'.. do you have an action that you would want to share?
Kind regards,
Pandos

It's not a Ps command and there are several ways of doing that. You'll probably need to share exactly what you are doing and when you are seeing this... 😉

16 bpc should be lossless when performed correctly.
8 bpc is generally "visually lossless" but yes, there can sometimes be minor softness introduced in some areas for some images, often flat areas with grain/noise when viewed enlarged.

If his eye is that good, there are a few methods that claim to have no loss/damage, even after repeated application.
One is the free plugin by Retouch4me.

Thank you! I have not looked at it on my Eizo yet, but on my mac it looks like it is working!! 🙂

So how did you go with using 16 bpc mode evaluating on the Eizo? You don't even need a good monitor to test as a difference blend mode test is enough to show no change.

I think all the "original" methods cause damage if no "tricks" are used, IIRC because one of the used blend modes throws away half of the values. I don't know if this is what he sees, as it's subtle stuff... The ones that did find a solution will boast this in a video (Retouch4me, Retouching Toolkit).
Anyway, I'm otherwise not an FS expert...
