so I tried to make it into an action so I could click one button vs making a new layer going to filter and clicking the frequency separation plug in and then applying but when I try to play it on other images it won't do the frequency separation part. why?
This depends on number of megapixels in your images. FS is the only plugin that requires the more GPU ram the larger image you load. In my experience, nvidia gpu with 6 or 8gb is enough for my work.
