Yes

What is the way to do this in PS6? Thank you.

I did try that. Just hoping there was a better remedy that wasn't too complicated. Thanks!

Wth is the best way to soften or somehow make this bottle look not so intrusive with its loud label?

It's darker, I edited it again starting with the original. I wanted to try your dust and scratches for skin and eye bag solution. I may bring exposure back up. Obviously I have a learning curve! lol

Ok. Here I am. What route do you recommend for sharpening a portrait?

Oh and what do you think of the smoothing, etc?

Damien, I know you prefer PS but do you also have noise removal instructions if I do my raw edits in LR?

But I get it. 

Done. And it works. Thx

Yes there aren't many spots that need work. I'll look at that link. Thanks.

I'm incredibly impressed with your knowledge and system you've set up, but the insults are offputting.

I have a Mac laptop running 10.9.5 and Lightroom 5. It is over 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 120GB free out of 500GB. The last time I shut down was more than a week ago, because I'm an idiot. I have never run a cleanup program.

Wow.

It's just not opening the image

I am having trouble in getting LR files to open into PS for editing. I have tried using Cmd E, and also Photo>Edit in Adobe PS 6. Ideas? Thank you!

Let's try this one. 

Did I remove enough noise?

How do you do skin smoothing since FS is overrated and unnecessary?

Oh, I just showed you the original. Nothing was done

I am in the middle of doing a frequency separation for a bride's face. I've completed the frequency separation by setting the blending mode of the texture layer to linear light. When I go to the next step of adding a gaussian blur to a selection on my texture layer, and I expect it to leave the skin texture yet remove the blotchiness, it's not happening. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Damien, 

I am going to take your masks class because I see that you did what I needed done, but I don't "get" it all yet.

Damien, I now see that you put a LINK to that tutorial. I didn't realize that when I first read the message! lol

NO!! I totally missed it, but found it pretty easily on your site!! I'm studying THAT right now! Thanks so much for your help!!
