Hello Terry, first time viewer , excellent work, going to check out your other videos. I do have a question the new AI feature in Lightroom do you find that sometimes there’s some object’s that it won’t remove and I noticed that every time you remove a car from a picture AI replaces it with another car is there any way to keep the car after removal and also it seems like it has difficulty removing telephone poles and wires. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
I have a video coming out in the next couple of days that works with the new features in LRC and PS. I didn’t test a car, but I did figure some things out. Subscribe or send me an email terry@imagelight.com and I’ll let you know when it’s out.
Interesting, not sure I would really want to use it to soften my landscape image uniformly. Stuff in the background is naturally hazy and softer to your lens or your eye. It helps to show depth. In my opinion you are flattening your image. You seem to be doing the opposite to focus stacking. There are better ways to to draw the eye around your image or to your main subject, Lastly the clarity slider was the slider initially used to soften facial features.
Hi Ken, there is a trend these days to create a softer, more painted look to images. I thought I'd explore the use of minus texture to soften areas to create a visual direction of the viewers. The Clarity slider preceded the texture slider so I think that LRC made some advancements when they introduced texture. The Clarity slider will be covered in an upcoming video, thanks for watching.
I am sorry I guess I missed the part about this being an alternative method. Here is a very fun alternative method that I use. I take pictures of textures for example bark on trees leaves on the ground etc. Then layer them with my landscape images I cycle through the blend modes usually picking soft light or overlay at a lower opacity say 50%.. There is a little more to it then that but this method combined with some other techniques can produce some really artistic pieces.
My pleasure. With the texture layer you can desaturate it if you do not want the color to influence your image. You can also use the texture layer as a way of introducing interesting directional or dappled light to the image,. Use a layer mask or blend if to deemphasize the parts of your texture image that you do not wish to influence the main image. Lastly do a merge visible then add filter layer(s) from the filter gallery, neural filters or Topaz Studio with a blend mode at a reduced opacity. to really make your image unique, Thanks for the chat.

Another informative tutorial. Thank you! 😊
You are so welcome!
Thanks Terry for explaining. Very straightforward and easy to follow.
Glad you liked it
Thanks Terry for another great video! When does one choose clarity over texture? I like to fiddle with both. Does texture effect midtones more?
Hi Scott, thanks for watching. Yes, I am planning a Clarity video as I write this. So, coming soon!

@@KenRepasi That sounds really cool. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!
