NBP Actions: Freqsep Pro

Frequency separation, perfected.

Back in 2017, I launched Freqsep Control, a Photoshop panel that made frequency separation fast and accessible. It was a big step at the time: setting up FS automatically so you could just get to work. Over the years, I’ve built and rebuilt my approach to frequency separation multiple times, refining what matters and what doesn’t.

Now, NBP Actions: Freqsep Pro is here. It’s the evolution of everything I’ve learned about frequency separation rebuilt entirely as a pure Photoshop Action system. No panels, no proprietary plugins, no extra baggage. Just lean, powerful automation that gives you full control over every step.

Each set includes multiple versions, so you can work the way you prefer:

• 16-bit Median (industry's de facto standard and go-to)

• 8-bit Median

• 16-bit Surface Blur

• 8-bit Surface Blur

• 16-bit Gaussian

• 8-bit Gaussian

• Helper Actions that work with every FS layer stack to make your workflow faster, flexible and dynamic. 

Everything is modular. You can install only the versions you want, or load them all. The helper Actions make setup, adjustments, and masking faster than ever. You can toggle between layers, rebuild components mid-edit, and keep your workflow as non-destructive as possible. 

I’ve also recorded a detailed 25-minute walkthrough explaining how it all works and why it matters, with more deep-dive videos coming for those who want to master every detail of frequency separation theory and application.

Freqsep Pro is the most efficient, flexible, and customizable frequency separation system I’ve ever released, designed for working editors, retouchers, and photographers who care about control, precision and speed, as I discuss in my Frequency Separation Bible.
