Glad to hear your comments about the focus stacking feature. I had the same results and thought it was my incompetence. As you mentioned the other features work great.
This guy is practical and with it.
This is about Luminar Neo and panoramas I just did some Astro Milky Way panoramas that I put into PTGui and needed some hours to get points in all images to other images. So after a long time and very tired I put into PS via Lr edits to all images synced. Very surprised that the panorama just popped up completely not once but in several options. I tried in Luminar Neo and got only one image?????
I think I understand your question. Every time you send an image to Photoshop from Lightroom, it will ask you if you want to edit a copy. When you say "yes", do your edits in PS then save it, it makes a copy of the photo - you should see the file name change to "filename-Edit" the first time, then "filename-Edit-Edit" the second time, etc. When you stich a panorama directly in Luminar Neo, it simply creates the one image.
Hi James - total newbie question, sorry. How are you getting multiple photos of exactly the same thing in different exposures before you use HDR merge? Does that happen in camera at the point of shooting or during import, or in LN itself?
Merging to HDR requires multiple exposures that you take beforehand. It’s also called bracketing. You create these in camera by changing the shutter speed. Most cameras can automatically do this with 3, 5, 7, and even 9 photos. I never use more than 5.
@@JamesParkerPhotography great, thank you 👍🏼
Thanks James, that was really interesting. I've been using Luminar Neo for some time now, as my Lightroom Classic V.6 is somewhat long in the tooth and I am not prepared to make a subscription to Adobe to upgrade. You have put my mind at rest to a degree, as I too found Neo focus stacking to be near useless for my work case. I tend not to use a tripod when I am out on the fly, so although I try to keep the camera as still as possible, inevitably there will always be slight movement. I previously used Adobe Photoshop, which did a far better job. Let's hope Skylume take notice of your criticism as I really like this photo editing software.
I like some of the features of Neo and bought the base product, but I'm not a fan of how their pricing model has evolved. Hiding the useful features you mention behind paid extensions is not something I'm going to support. IMHO everything in the extensions should be included with the base software.
Dave - I get it. Hopefully they have not penalized early purchasers and taken away features unless they agree to pay more. I think the base program is still a great editing solution for a lot of photographers. Another way to consider it is you pay for what you need/want. If you have zero need for HDR or Panorama stitching you don't have to pay for it. It's like adding options to a car - you can get the base model for a cheaper price or the fully loaded with adaptive cruise control, auto climate, heated seats, etc.
@sucofnisucofni8935 What Auto Upload are you referring to?
@sucofnisucofni8935 - Ah - I gotcha. I thought you were referring to Luminar having auto upload.
I am not so happy the way Luminar Neo 1.19.1 handles the deleted images! most of the time after I am done editing photos and finished exporting i would like to remove them from catalog! Luminar Neo moves them to Lumiinar trash and if you empty trash Luminar moves everything to system trash rather than just removing it from Luminar! I did not know that, luckily I did not empty the system trash and was able to recover my images. I like the HDR extension which was included his time (change of policy! good move) but it lacks some the features that Aurora HDR had. Tons of useless presets and other stuff came with my purchase too! in general I am not so enthused with the presets that came with Luminar Neo! I think Luminar 2018 and Luminar 4 had much better presets.
Hate the fact it blurs the photo when you're moving any sliders around, so you cannot see what it's actually done until you stop. Plus never adding what they said they would, just bought out a new version every time. Waste of money, bad practice business wise.
