I’ve watched other FS tutorials where they don’t make a bit of sense. You made a nice and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

You won’t get those fields until after you select “Add” or “Subtract”.

I am missing something. In CS5 when I get to the “Apply Image” step- there is not a place to set scale and offset. Please advise!

Actually I would argue that being able to change color and texture so easily and independently is in fact more magical than putting a robot on Mars. It’s easy enough to understand building a robot, taking what you have built, putting that into space, then putting it on a different planet. It’s more beyond understanding how to separate texture from color and modify each independently of the other… the result is in fact more “magical”, exactly because the end result is harder to comprehend how it might be done.

Putting a robot on Mars is more “amazing” (because of the effort involved) than “magical”.

That way it is more obvious to the viewer what is happening. If they just used the bracket keys on their keyboard, the viewer might miss the step.

I noticed the same thing on her Apply Image settings she used the settings for an 8-bit image but her image is 16-bit so I’m a bit confused with that.

Much simpler nowadays to work with color and luminosity settings on layers to do this stuff. The HF layer however can be used in a similar fashion to high pass for sharpening, but without the ringing effects associated with high pass. You have to be careful ’cause color can shift, and contrast can skyrocket, but it’s still an interesting way to sharpen without ringing artifacts.

Actually you can. Duplicate the high layer, clip it, set blend mode to normal and add a layer mask. Then do your modifications there and mask away. For the low layer there is no magic, just duplicate and add a mask.
