I like the frequency separation technique and am starting to use it and get more familiar with it. The only problem I have is where areas of extremely strong contrast meet or "edges". If I clone over those areas on the high frequency layer, it introduces a tonal change into the image when all I wanted was the texture because some of the tonal and color information is also stored on that layer. Generally I just avoid those areas as it creates a mess and do them separately on another layer above the split that doesn't have a frequency separation. I have tried sampling a color and painting it in on the low frequency area in the problematic areas, but that doesn't seem to give me good results and often makes it worse.
Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for dealing with areas of high contrast on a frequency separated image?
