So good. xx💐🍰

This is a great technique, Blake. Like all the others, it's a great tool in the box for the right job. Not so good on the wrong job so that's our challenge - to find the right tool. I take a lot of photos at church and our Pastor and one of our deacons is bald and with the lights we installed for livestreaming it's a mess and I've spent hours taking down shinies but this technique is a fast way to do it without all that masking and burning and color correcting... almost magical! Thanks

Intriguing. But for color accurate work (offset printing for imstance), frequency separation will be a better option. Exsisting skin tones can be sampled, ensuring perfect color when retouching hotspots.

It's all about how you blend it. I found that highlight to be distracting, but if you blend it with opacity or lower the black presence it starts to look natural and give the best of both worlds. Don't throw this tip out based on one image. I've used it on several with this issue and seen incredible improvements.

True, but you have less control. Here you can blend the opacity and have more control over the final look. I don't like doing these kinds of things at the raw level because they are too restrictive and don't give you a whole lot of control. Maybe LR for quick stuff, but this for more deep level retouching.

Possibly use a high pass sharpen. To take the details from the original and put that on top of the selective color adjustment layer.
