frequency separation under 15

[yuqiangz34201645]

I have just discovered that ps15 has no "apply image" choice under Image tab. Is there a similar function instead? As frequency separation technique so much talked about depends on this "apply image" button.

Try the HIGH PASS FILTER SETUP

described in the below link:

Thanks, Kelly. Great article but it seems Adobe Elements 15 simply has no high pass filter nor frequency separation. This 15 I suspect either is too simplified or more advanced by replacing apply image or high pass with new tools. I am just learning how to use ps using elements 15. Hope this is not a trash software compared to cc.

The High Pass filter is under Filter>Other>High Pass

Make sure your in the Expert mode.

Dear Kelly,

In elements 15, there is no simple brush (smart brush as called) nor current layer it seems. Any alternative? Also, with high pass filter, is there need for Gaussian blur on low layer? Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to an old post about a 'quick degrunge' tutorial (1969).
That works with Elements.
