📌 Take your images from blah to WOW with just 3 tools 👉 ruclips.net/video/_6QbC-ULaeA/видео.html My Luminar Neo Course ➜ www.digitalphotomentor.com/luminar-neo-course/
I’m a retired university lecturer and taught photography a lot back in the days of film and cameras like that Hasselblad on your shelf. Technical topics are really hard to pace so the student doesn’t feel overwhelmed and from your other commenters I think you succeeded admirably. I feel I can now play this video as I work on the 20 or so portraits I shot at a Buddhist retreat of the monk using mostly my Olympus EM-5 with the 85 mm f1.8. Thank you so much.
Finally bit the bullet and used your discount code on one of the Black Friday deals. Went with the 18-month Pro deal. Holy mole! Thanks always for these training videos. Now I can follow your advice better. 😁
Thanks for this great video. I understood everything which makes me happy as it means I have learned a lot from you. I will immediately go and test this workflow with a portrait on my dear son Linus. Wishing you a nice weekend 🤩
Darlene.,Thank you for your great Tutorial very helpful, and learnt some useful tips. Also thank you for your time and effort you put into your Tutorials.
Thanks for the video! Though lots of this is repetitive for me at this point in my journey with DPM, I need that so it gets ingrained into my brain which doesn't work as well as it used to:). The NEO Portrait tools are great and I do find that editing portraits comes easiest to me compared to other images I shoot.
Thanks your people photos and portraits are really good. We're going to do a portrait week on December 17th for the livestream so heads up - send in some portraits for that now
Absolutely fantastic video Darlene, with a wealth of very useful information and tips. Also, very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for making this great material available. Much appreciated. I have watched a number of your Luminar videos and courses and they have all been excellent. Great work! 👍
Glad it was helpful! There are two more full hours of portrait editing tips here from the Livestream I did yesterday ruclips.net/video/sBu1rcI9Kzc/видео.html&lc=UgyXMIU5gIiwcX2U6ol4AaABAg
All of the people photos I’m trying to improve are scanned in and most are old photos from 20+ years ago. Will these techniques still work if I don’t have “raw” images?
Hi, I love your videos, and find them most helpful, and I wondered if you could help. I recently took some portraits against a green screen, thinking I would replace the background in post edit. I have done everything that people say to do on youtube to remove the background, but end up with a green haze around parts of the shot. I have used transition, object and background, but will not work. I have managed to get rid of the haze by using the clone tool, but this really is not satisfactory, and I am sure there must be a better way. Any ideas.....HELP! - Thank Jim from the UK
Are you putting in a new background? If so just use the color tool on the people layer (the one you cut out the background on) and just lower saturation on green and mask it to around the people. Should work
@@lindamcbride8813 if you contact me on my website you can send me a screenshot of what you see and I can try and help you, otherwise I have no way of knowing what is happening for you sorry www.digitalphotomentor.com/contact/

Yes but scan at as high a resolution as you possibly can and save the scans as 16-bit TIFs.

@@DigitalPhotoMentor thanks, you’re a star. I know there must have been a better way, this worked perfectly . Thanks again.
@@revjimclarke awesome!!
I have Luminar neo and used all the updates but I don't have the tool bar across the top with view, edit, image etc. How do I get that please
Are you using it as a plugin for another program? If so that'w why.
@@DigitalPhotoMentor no it's stand alone but payed outright.

how to you lighten just one face in a group?
Use the same Face Light slider, then just add a mask to apply that tool only to that one person.
How do I get rid of wrinkles below the chin please?
You can try using the new Blur tool. But just soften don't remove them. Or try cloning at a low opacity.
