Quick and clean: frequency separation according to Wow!
Like our other tools, Wow! gives you an often excellent starting point simply by picking a preset. You can tweak it at will to reach what is optimal for you. If you need more control, keep Wow! on a separate layer and play with opacity and layer masks. The process is quick: in a couple of minutes, we were able to obtain five different versions. Here below the original and three versions.

A tool for beauty
Wow! can be amazing in beauty retouch, but it was not designed as a specialized panel. Therefore, Wow! is more a tool for beauty than a Beauty Tool: it helps improve your images in a few clicks. The picture of this senior couple is a fine example: in the processed version, the skin shows the signs of age – as it should – but looks better. It is smoother and sharper at the same time, and not at all fake.

The Equalizer at work: high, medium and low frequencies
In digital imaging, the term frequency refers to the size of detail. High frequencies represent fine detail, while medium and low frequencies indicate coarser areas – what we commonly call “shape”. The five sliders in Wow! address different frequencies independently.
Below: a comparison between the five sliders individually set at +10 (left) and -10 (right). The dark images show the difference between the original and each equalized version. The first slider acts similarly to a traditional unsharp mask: it works on the high frequencies and therefore acts on very narrow areas. The second (high/medium frequencies) acts on wider areas. The remaining sliders work on medium, medium/low and low frequencies.
