Update: Check out our new tutorial!



Step 1

First, go to the File menu and select Open to open a photo you would like to edit. Because we will be working with fine details, it is important that the image is a high resolution so that the details of the skin can be seen. The image I used is a high resolution 10 megapixel image with plenty of skin detail.

Step 2

In the next steps, we will be duplicating the layer twice and applying two filters to each of the new layers. Because the image I am working with is a large 31MB photo, processing the filters will be CPU intensive and slow. Before I continue to duplicate the layer, Im going to use the Lasso tool to draw a selection of the skin and duplicate only that area. This will reduce the amount of pixels to work with and reduce the load on my computer. You dont have to do this if you dont need to. It may be helpful if you dont have a fast computer with lots of RAM or if your image isnt really large.

Step 3

Now, press Ctrl+J or open Layer menu and select Duplicate to duplicate the layer. Do this once more so that you have two layers. Now, rename the top layer to High Pass and the middle layer to Low Pass. As you may have guessed, on the High Pass layer, well be applying a high pass filter and on the Low Pass layer, well be applying a low pass filter.
