Apply Image

[lacogada]

Does PL have something similar to Photoshops "Apply Image" command ?

Would be great if you could describe what you mean. Most of us don't use PS for obvious reasons.

Google for it ...

Most known usage is for frequency separation for portrait retouching.

Thanks for the replies.

Apply image is used for frequency separation but has many other uses.

Example : I wanted to darken sky in original image below.

Looked at the Red, Green, and Blue channels.
Noticed the red channel had the darkest sky.

Apllied red channel to a new layer.
Set blend mode to luminosity and sky darkens.

Used blending options to adjust effect for sky ( does PL have blending options )

No need to make a mask or selection.

PS: Cannot get my images to show .... sized to 600 pixels long side.

The blend mode is at the top of the Layers panel (default is Normal).
One way to do what you are doing is to create a Gray Mixer adjustment layer. Set the blend mode to Luminance, then darken Cyan and Blue.
Another is to use curves with a Color Filter to limit the hues to cyan and blue.

That would be Color Filter; right-click a layer and select Color Filter. I don't think that other program has an HIS or HSV option; blending based on hue is extremely useful.
