What are some advanced tips for editing photos in Photoshop?

Here are a few advanced tips: use adjustment layers for non-destructive editing, explore the use of layer masks, and try frequency separation for skin retouching.

Can you explain how to use layer masks effectively?

Certainly! Layer masks allow you to hide or reveal parts of a layer. You can paint on the mask with black to hide and white to reveal. This is great for blending images.

What is frequency separation and how do I use it?

Frequency separation is a technique that separates the texture and color of an image. You create two layers: one for color and one for texture, allowing for precise retouching.

Are there any shortcuts I should know for these techniques?

Yes! For layer masks, use 'Ctrl + I' to invert the mask. For frequency separation, you can create actions to speed up the process.
