This is a popular method for retouching portraits and has some use in landscapes. Elements+ will set the layers automatically.
More than likely these methods can be used in any layered base tool.https://lensvid.com/photo-editing/clean-up-your-landscapes-with-frequency-separation/
Frequency Separation
Set up layers: Background Copy [comparison], Texture [2 layers], Color, Background
Set up layers: Background Copy [comparison], Texture [2 layers], Color, Background
- blur the color layer gausian ~4
- one texture layer as is [background copy]
- second texture layer [background copy] blur as in color, invert image, set at 50%
- merge both texture layers
- resulting texture layer on top of color, set blending to linear light
- with comparison layer on top change visibility on and off – you should not notice any difference
- make fine detail adjustments on texture layer, use color to match the color

Retouch the Color layer
By retouching the color layer, you are going to even out all the color tones of your subject’s complexion and to remove dark and light areas.
Clone Tool – the Clone tool can be used to even out the color tones or experiment with different blending modes. Normal, Darken and Lighten are very good effect modes to use on the color layer. You may also need to adjust the opacity (the degree of transparency) of these blending modes.
Dodge and Burn Tools are a couple of other useful tools to even out dark and light tones of the skin tones.
As with almost any Photoshop function, there are various ways to get the results you desire. The tools mentioned above are good starting points for working on the color layer, but the possibilities are endless! Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Retouch the Detail layer
Click on the Detail layer, which contains every detail of your portrait image. There are a wide variety of tools you can use to fix skin imperfections, ranging from wrinkles to acne.
Clone Tool – Use the Clone tool with mode set to normal and just clone out imperfections, sampling (ALT/OPT key click) from a desirable area to paint over an imperfection in another area.
Healing Brush Tool – The Healing Brush tool works similarly to the Clone tool and will sample textures from nearby areas to make a seamless patch.
Spot Healing Brush – Spot Healing Brush works similarly to the Clone tool and Healing brush, but does not require you to sample a source area. It will automatically sample from another area to repair the target imperfection. Use the adjustable brush sizes to paint over spots and remove them.
Patch Tool – Like the Healing tool, the Patch tool will match the texture of the near-by area for a seamless repair. Make a selection over the area to be repaired and drag the selection over a good area. For best results work on small areas at a time.
Content-Aware Patch – Similar to the Patch Tool, but with the Content-Aware Patch you select a good area and drag it over area to be repaired, and the tool will match the texture.
