Another beautiful piece of photographic art. What I like about your day-to-night photos are that they look nicer, are more dynamic, with more drama than an actual night photo Youwould have. Again, I think it's very kind and generous of you to share your knowledge with us through these videos. You've enriched my life and added so much to my joy of photography.
Good evening Jamie, First, thank you for all the time you have put into making these fantastic day-to-night transformations for all to learn and follow along with. Your attention to detail in editing has been something that has helped me so much in my photo editing. I also appreciate listening to your thought process as you go through the individual edits, which has proven to improve my thoughts in my editing process. Dennis
Thank you Dennis for your kind words, and also thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, it is very much appreciated 😀 I am happy to hear that I have helped you improve your editing...
G'day Jamie. Thank you once again for a lovely image to work and learn from. I was in Paris for a week at the start of June 2023 and visited this beautiiful area late one afternoon. The place was heaving with tourists like myself. I still managed to get some shots and since following your excellent tutorials, I have manged to create some photos I am happy with. By the way, Your Medieval Cities info on your website has a slight error. Day 6 in Salisbury, Tuesday 24th September has Sunset over St Pauls Cathedral and Millenium Bridge instead of Salisbury Cathedral.🤪 Edit..I would love to see tutorials on Luminar Neo Jamie. I think they would be an excellent addition to your repertoire.
Hey Philip, thank you for the error spotting. I will get this updated. I am very happy to hear that you are making progress with your photography, it is great for me to learn that I am being of some help. I must admit early hours of the morning are always my favorite times, next to no people and free to roam around, even in the busiest places. 😀
Many thanks Jamie, another masterpiece. Are you planning to edit any black and white photos in the future. I shoot 35 mm black and white and would love some ideas from you. Look forward to your videos every week.
I have used the object selection mask on windows instead of the radial gradient mask. I think you can end up with less clean up around a window. Thoughts ?
Yes that can work very well, however, the radial gradient enables the light to blend more realistically, therefore if you do select the window using the object selection, intersect it with a radial afterward 😀
Excellent point about radial blending and intersect for object. Really appreciate your effort on the videos and your taking the time to respond to questions.
Hi Margarete, I use either, in this case my Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 64GB of RAM, or sometimes I use my MacBook Pro M3 Max also with 64GB RAM when I am mobile. The modern M Chip Mac Machines can deal with the challenges of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop very well as Adobe has optimized the software to work with Apple silicon processors (they are RISC based, rather than x86 like MS Windows, which allows for a greater performance and they are more efficient), however, if you are using an MS Windows-based system with Intel or AMD processors, they can struggle with lots of gradients in one image, extra RAM can help, but in this video, I have over 150 gradients:- ruclips.net/video/F0VX6ZXVxj4/видео.html. however, I explain a way around the problem by rasterizing the image multiple times, to keep the CPU and RAM overhead as small as possible. I hope this is helpful 😀
Thanks Jamie. Based on your videos, I recently took some photos in daylight of houses in my area with the idea of doing a "day to night" image. One thing I noticed when trying to light windows was that the windows had harsh reflections. The photos were taken near noon in bright light with my camera pointed straight at the house. I noticed many of your images are taken at an angle to the windows, such as an image taken with the camera pointed down a street or alleyway. How do you handle harsh window reflections, other than take steps to make sure there aren't any to start with? Thank you.
Hi David, when taking the shot it is important to look at the window reflections and adjust your angle or position to try to avoid harsh reflections, if however, you have no choice then generative fill in Photoshop can help, see this video here where I use this technique:- ruclips.net/video/ikIRYCKyGSY/видео.html&ab_channel=JamieRMathlin
Love you, photography and your demonstration. You were using luminaire for which I use and you mentioned NEO the only reason I don’t get it is because they want monthly payments to use and I don’t think that’s right I wish I could use
Hi Linda, I purchased Neo a while ago when you could have a lifetime license, it seems that this move to subscription payment plans is spreading across the software industry generally. I admit to paying monthly for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, as I still find it to be the best combo for photo editing, but Luminar does have some great functions hence why I like to use it as a plug-in. A few people have asked me to do more with Neo, so I will have a look to see what I can do 😀
Yes, I agree I do have Lightroom and Photoshop through Adobe making payments but I am on a limited budget and don’t know why we can’t just buy it out right like we do with topaz and the other plug-ins. I’m sure they would make more than enough money, if they let us, use it as a regular plug-in. I do like it it seems nice but I have a lot of other things that I have to deal with financially. But truly enjoy your photography and a new way to work with day and night photos. Also wish I could go on one of your Trips unable to travel though can’t wait to see the results Thank you.❤

Another wonderful transformation from Mundane to Magical once again thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise 👍🏼
Thank you Tony

I am always happy to process to black and white, I shall do another soon 😀
Nicely done Jamie. It would be nice to see more Luminar Neo editing.
I will do a more Neo orientated edit soon 😀

Amazing, can this be done entirely in Photoshop with similar results? Obviously I am not well versed in either but most familiar with Photoshop.
hey Jack, yes it can all be done in Photoshop, with the help of camera raw 😀
I love these day to night. What kind of computer do u use? After about 6 or more masks my edits slows down
