Can you help me please ?

The problem with a statement like "The Frequency Separation action" is that we cannot see what steps are in your action and how they are being applied.

Try this manually - you can always build an action from it.

1. Make two new duplicate copies of your image layer
2. Name the lower duplicate "Low Frequency"
3. Name the upper duplicate "High Frequency"

4. Select the lower (Low Frequency) layer and use Filter Gaussian Blur (around 6.0 normally works well)

5. Select the upper layer (High Frequency)

6. Go to Image > Apply Image
  Set Source layer as "Low Frequency"
  Set Blending to Subtract *
  Set Scale to 2 *
  Set Offset to 128 *

  Click OK

7. In the layers panel, set the Blend mode of the High Frequency layer to Linear Light

Clone out blemishes on teh High Frequency Layer (ensure clone tool is set to current layer)
Lighten or Darken areas on teh low frequency layer

* The above is for 8 bit/channel images . For 16 bit in the Apply Image dialogue use blend mode Add, Scale 2 Offset 0

"Where can i see a DEMO VIDEO about your process ?"

Hi

We are volunteers on this forum, and there may not be a demo video. Try the steps in order and post here when you get to one you don't know how to follow.

An action is simply a series of steps, so if you get the steps down, you can then record them into an action.

Hi,

I know we are volunteers on this forum 🙂

Thanks for your answer.

Tony.

Hi Tony, you could be very right indeed.

If the action was made as a do-it-yourself kind of project -and it's an action, not a script-, it is likely that the action requires layer names native to a specific photoshop version.

For example, in French you'll likely get "Calque 1" instead of the american "Layer 1" and "Arrière-plan" instead of "Background"

By switching your photoshop to English, or asking the photographer you bought the actions from to adjust his action so it renames layers at every step, you'll get a working solution I'm sure.

Joyeux 14! 😉

Hi Stephen,

Ohhhh thank you so much i will test right now your action 🙂

French language law makes using/ selling English only software problematic but it is always best to understand what is happening in script & actions are just simple types of script

[TonyYoPhotographie]

Yes i am ok with you my dear it's important to understant what is happening 😉

There is no need to buy an English version of photoshop
just rename the tw10428_Photoshop_fr_FR.dat file in the locales folder of photoshop in this way
tw10428_Photoshop_fr_FR_Backup.dat
restart photoshop and you will have the photoshop version in english
if you want it back in French, you rename it like this
tw10428_Photoshop_fr_FR.dat

I tested actions of this american photographer on my english photoshop version and now everythinh is ok 🙂

If one has a Creative Cloud subscription, then all the languages are included with the subscription.

Simply use the Creative Cloud Desktop Application to download additional languages and then switch the language in the photoshop Preferences>Interface>UI Language.

[TonyYoPhotographie]

Yes you are right but i can't change the language on this menu lol (only french) but i resolved the problem about my actions and now it's good 🙂

Thanks a lot for your screenshot my dear !

[Geppetto Luis]

Tony how did you solve it

[TonyYoPhotographie]

 I had a problem with a layer, i renamed it and now it's ok with my french photoshop version 🙂
