If you’ve worked with High Pass filter before than you already know how amazing this tool is for sharpening, color grading, masking and many many others. I’ve seen many threads on many forums where people where asking how to move this wonderful Photoshop filter into After Effects, because it doesn’t come with one. Since I was also in need to use it several times in my video productions I decided to look into how it works and build one myself.
So here we are. After watching this tutorial you will learn two easy ways of building your own High Pass filter in After Effects. Above that you will learn a few tricks on how to use it.

Thanks once again for another great tutorial. I’m not sure if I have a use for this but it is still much appreciated. I especially like the application of this effect to the flourish and text.

Thanks a lot. Just play with it. Try different blending modes. Try it over a video, photo, illustration, color and grayscale, try in on 3D generated graphic. You’ll me amazed how often it helps to sell the final effect.

Cool. There are some techniques with using High Pass Filters in Photoshop in creating the “Dave Hill Photography” look. Now that you’ve come up with this cool Filter.. I wonder if we can pull off this look in Motion?? I’ll have to tinker :)

Nice one!
In case anyone is interested, here are my favorite applications for a highpass filter: First, you can make skies and clouds significantly more dramatic by applying the highpass filter in overlay mode with relatively high radii. As with the sharpening, an unsharp-mask like filter will work just as well.
And second, if you invert the highpass filtered layer and then put it over the original image in overlay mode, you get a very nice softening filter instead of a sharpening one. It looks a lot more like photographic promist-type soft focus filters than a regular box blur or a gaussian blur, and best of all, it preserves sharp edges quite well.

Ok, you said lets creat a “preset” and join all the layers in one ” How in the world do I do that?
Maltaannon
18. Feb, 2009
Dude! It’s in the tutorial!

When you selected the 3 layers and join then all you do that by creating a pre-compose?
Maltaannon

I’m not sure what you are asking about. There are no precomps in this tutorial. If you didn’t get something just watch it again, or rephrase your question. Thanks.

Thanks for this one! Very helpful. I just discovered High Pass as an alternative to USM and I’m liking the way it works, even if the results are very similar the control is more detailed this way

Would you suggest starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Kudos!

A description of Italian painting, saying, “Italian artists, the past is always now.” The benefits of Italy is that, did not hide you from now to see the past, history is a relatively quiet way of superposition, maybe that is the spiritual core of Italy.
