Let me tell you something, I have seen too many tutorials about removing backgrounds, honestly, many just clowning around. Your tutorial is the best so far, I will put it in my library. Thank you for a great job Master Lady.
Thank you so much! I have watched a few myself and some people don't even know use to do it right. You can't teach something if you don't know how to do it.
Darlene, you've hit this one out of the park again (sorry, I'm late to the game on your Channel!) What you've shown on refining edge detection was golden. I additionally never utilized vignette 'feathering' as you did in that way but it proves to be better the way you teach it especially when you vignetted the male specifically on the lower shirt to match the shade grading, but now that I'm schooled.... Absolutely remarkable, straight to the point teaching. You're doing an excellent job; many thanks.

Ok, thanks for the command sheet for keyboard shortcuts. This is very helpful. So now I can enlarge the photograph but how do I move the photograph up and down, right and left? Did I miss these commands on your short cut sheet? Thanks, SteveR
Hi, love your glasses. I have a question. I installed luminaire neo after working with it for a while I decided to move all my photo files to an external hard, thinking luminaire neo would recognize the move of files. Luninar Neo did not recognize the files. There is a triangle in every picture. Can you give me advise on what to do?
Yes you moved them outside Luminar and you need to relink all the folders, they are broken links. Luminar can't possibly know where you put them, especially on a new drive that Luminar doesn't even know exists. Do you have one master "Photos" folder? Or are they all separate and in many different folders? You'll need to right-click on an image and choose "locate" then find it on the external drive and relink it. Hopefully it will then recognize all the others on that drive too. But if it doesn't - you'll need to contact Skylum support to help you fix it.
You’re my life saver! I’m new to luminar neo but I keep having this exact issue with clearing out background colour from my son’s curly hair, not sure if you have any tips, thanks
@@DigitalPhotoMentor Yes I followed along doing it but my computer crashed so will attempt again today. Using the transition brush, however would make the hair fade off. Anyway, I’ll follow up with you, if possible I can pay for a class specifically for this kind of issue. Thanks
Thanks for the video - this tool is the one I find most challenging to comprehend. When you removed the background, how come the "object/the man" isn't completely orange? Why doesn't it fill him in completely? Obviously it has identified him as the object except for those little areas you fixed but visually I "don't get it" since he's not solid orange:) - that leads me to believe the entire man wasn't selected.
Not sure which image you're referring to in this one. The orange and blue just help you define the subject and background the area between is transparent that's the transition zone. So you won't see the orange matching the subject perfectly. It doesn't represent the actual mask. Does that help?
@@DigitalPhotoMentor So at the 2 minute 38 second mark for example, the man isn't completely orange so that visual confuses me but I guess since the rest of his shirt is in view, that would mean the Background Removal got all of it? I would expect his entire body to be orange so as to confirm he is the object?

I loved Luminar 4. I thought it was going to be my photo editor. But AI and Neo were terrible. I then turned On1 during this time. I think it is a better solution for me, even complete Neo layers are not a good implementation for me. But now Neo is complete I find that it is best suited as a plug in for On1. Neo does portrait better. I like the auto masking and some of the ai features are better than On1. That being said paid upgrades of On1 and Neo are less expensive than Adobe monthly payment per year and it is easier. I still have some Topaz stuff I also use on occasion as a plug in to On1. It is a great setup.
Hi res pic's will give a better result than a low, (pixel count n blurring). Also If you go to layer properties and select ai instead you can select objects with background removed, just refine with the mask brush n select property and export as png to use else where
On layer properties, all the masking tools will remove baackground, but portrait only works on figures, When you use the other masks you must save as png before u adjust any thing. You just use paint or erase to cut out the object you want ai speeds it up in some cases. yo then use your png file as an overlay else where blending etc. Saw a video early showing the beta version doing the same... I lke to play n push the tools @@DigitalPhotoMentor
@@DigitalPhotoMentor Reason for saving is if you want to use transform in develope, the image will move within its shape and u get a white background appear
@@kentphoto24 are you using it on a portrait or on a pet photo? If it's a person use Portrait Background AI. If it's anything else use Background Removal AI

@@hollylinton0724 When you click to close the refinement tools you'll see how it will cut out. The orange is not precise no. It's not meant to be.
If I need to change the background for a bride wearing a veil, how can the new background be seen through the veil?
Use the transition brush over it and it should reveal part of it as transparent. That's a tricky one though
Thanx a lot+++ this is a great tutorial...

I’m updating to a 16gb Mac Mini. Will that be fast enough for Luminar Neo?
Does it have an M1 processor? If so then yes

Another very good video. On Windows the \ key is great to show masked picture and also mouse scroll wheel adjusts a brush size.
Thanks for that Michael, good to know!

Sounds like a good plan! You have chosen what works for you and that's perfect.
@@DigitalPhotoMentor I hope someday that Neo will be able to merge multiple layers when working with composites so you can skip exporting process.
@@IAmR1ch I hope so too but I personally don't do that kind of work really

@@wizardwafflewonders so just go mask it out or do that first. I don't see a reason to export it
New update for Neo should be out very soon. Supposed to add dodge/burn and HDR plugin to be available.
I'm on it
I was hoping it would work with pet photo's but nope :-(
NO it doesn't but the new Background Removal AI extension does!
@@DigitalPhotoMentor I had a go at using that, but it did not do a very good job 😞
@@DigitalPhotoMentor Maybe I'm using the wrong one, is portrait background removal different to the background removal, thanks.
