Since creating this video Luminar Neo has been updated and improved. You can get the newest version on sale here: bit.ly/NeoSale and maybe save more with coupon: ATNEO10 (sometimes Skylum de-activate the code if there's already a promotion running but worth giving a go!)
Anthony, I thought I knew how to use masking. But you just proved that I didn't know ANYTHING! And I love you for it, brother! Thank you for these excellent tutorials!
Just a note for channel members with the download option, I've added the original raw photo along with my edited version and steps along the way to our shared dropbox. Enjoy! And as ever, thank you for your continued support!
Thanks Anthony for a very informative edit using curves. I liked the way you brushed curves into your image to great effect. A deep dive into curves without calling it a deep dive :). Keep up the good work, I love the way you do things.
I'm still using Affinity Photo and always will. I use Neo as a plug-in although from time to time I do use it as my primary photography editor. I only watch two RUclipsrs for photo editing lessons and you are the only Luminar tutor, many thanks for all the great work.
Anthony is an excellent Luminar teacher, but you may also want to check out Jim Nix's channel. He's a Luminar Ambassador and also puts out a lot of great Luminar videos.
I am pretty new to Luminar(1 week in) and find your tutorials easy to follow and very informative. I do however find chromatic aberrations difficult to deal with ie purple fringing. I had no problem with ACR and photoshop, but the tools for defringing in Luminar are really basic and don't work too well. Any chance you could do a tutorial dealing with this issue. Thanks again for your time and effort, I have been binge watching for the last week ;)
Absolutely stunning transformation, Anthony. This is the best example of using curves that I've seen in any video! I am so motivated and full of ideas after watching this. Question: If you place the sun centre off the palette, will you be able to "grab" it to adjust later?
Thanks again. And thanks for all your kind comments 😀 If you place the sun centre off the canvas and thn want to reposition it later you need to click the "place sun centre" button again, then it'll be repositioned on the canvas at the closest edge position to where you'd initially draggged it off. You can then pick the centre point again and re-move it.
BIG NEWS! Skylum has just launched a summer sale where you can save a massive 81% off Luminar Neo here bit.ly/NeoSale But the cool thing is in addition to that they've given me a coupon code to share with you so you get to save ANOTHER 20% (use code AFF-T5C1C0 ) I really hope that helps you out! It should work for both the perpetual licence and the subscription too. Enjoy😄 Best wishes, Anthony
New to Luminar NEO? Skylum reached out to me today with a temporary discount code you can use to save even more off Neo and other assets in their Summer sale. Go here bit.ly/Luminar-NEO use code AFS-YtXN8E Hope that helps 👍😀
Unbelievable in a very good way. I can see I am going to need a computer dedicated just to photo processing. This was a great video. I’ve always objected to adding fog since I like the viewer of my photos to see everything. I know that is just me but can you do a video on cleaning up the haze from landscape videos?
Hi Anthony, like Colin below I have been using Luminar for a few months. My photoshop days go back the 1995 with version 3. I am retied now and got feed up with paying the subscription but had to do back to it, all those years it is hard to let go. Also like Colin I use the Topaz suite of products as most of my photography is on and the underwater in the Bay of Islands, just a bit farther North than you. Not always easy to get perfect focus and Topaz beats PS and Lightroom hands down for focus and noise. You last video was excellent and got me in the LN process. The bit I am not getting my head around is using adjustment layers correctly, I know you should be able to use them with LN as a PS plug in. I would love a video on using the layer mask process in LN or within PS plugin. Cheers Denis
Hi Denis. Thanks fo rthe comment and the video request too. I'll see what I can do. In a nutshell though from Photoshop simply invoke Neo from the filters menu, any changes you make in Neo will then be applied and baked into a new layer added to your stack in photoshop.
Great video Anthony. Technical explanations .... but not toooo technical. I've followed along with a flat image of my own from the previous video. So, I've done the basic develop workflow and now being more creative. You mention that we have now moved away from the raw file .... but when I open develop as per your instructions here it's still develop Raw. Should I have saved the initial edit as a JPEG first? Thanks.
Hi David, hmmm that seems odd that the 2nd application would still say develop raw. Because once we apply new tools over the top of the initial edit we're now working on that state of the photo, which isn't raw data anymore. No, not sure why that would be. 🤔 Anyway, no need to save the file along the way. Just at the end of the edit.
Hi Anthony... I like the edit you've done and a great video again well done..... I like the way you use Luminar, I do still use Lightroom & PS mainly but I do use Neo as an add on also Topaz. I do like Neo and it's features, I also tend to go a bit OTT with the edits but love the editing as much as taking photos, you do great videos Anthony, all the best... Colin.
Hi Anthony, great video as always, very informative and well explained. Could you give us a list of your hardware, CPU, ram, graphics card? Your system seems to function very well with neo.
Hi Steve, Im actually in the process of doing an updated build. But the current system is ryzen 7 2600, 32gb ddr4, 2tb m.2 and overflow 1tb m.2, nvidia 1070ti. I think that's about it.
How did you get Luminar to transition out of the develop raw to just the normal develop tool? Is there a way to visually see individual masks and turn them on/off?
you can only do dev raw at the beginning. After other tools are applied it'll become just develop. Yes you can view the tools mask individually and show / hide via the mask menu for that tool.
Great edit! Just curious, why didn't you clone out the people(?) or objects there in the middle-right-hand part of the picture. I found those more distracting than the little stream in the lower right hand portion of the picture.
So I've opened up the image again to clone out the offending people I thought I must have missed. There aren't any? There's a bit of drift wood near the meandering stream and there's a digger near the bank (well not anymore) maybe it was that you saw?
@@AnthonyTurnham Possibly. Tough to see exactly what is there. At 2:40 in the video, you are zoomed into that area. Something red that looked like 1-2 people, and a bit further up near the tree line, it looks like there are some markers/signs along a road there? Looks like white-ish poles along a road to me. Anyway, nothing major. Just looked out of place to me as you were going through it. But maybe it was just some driftwood or the digger. Again, tough to really make it out, but the color was the thing that caught my eye. Just that reddish blob there on the bank.
Thanks the video. However, this is the level of software tweaking that makes me worried about the art of photography. I know this was a creative edit showcasing Luminar but to think some random rubbish photographer can do this is worrisome to say the least. I can see that you are aren’t a shit photographer and do approach raw editing like a real photographer but it just boggles my mind that Sundays can be added so realistically to a photo when they weren’t there to begin with. After seeing the edits of many of these AI photo softwares I can definitely now tell them apart from a realistic photograph or purist Lightroom style edit.

Many thanks, Anthony, for a very useful tutorial!!

This video was very helpful. Thank you so much.
AT, absolutely excellent! Thank you sincerely for sharing your time & expertise in a very informative and delightful presentation.
brilliant, very instructive, thank you!!
Thank you. I was completely confused as to how to use curves, you explained it very well. I loved the finished photo
Thanks!
Wow, amazing! 25mins almost half an hour. But it's ought to watch. I learned a lot of skills.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video mate. I haven’t got luminar yet and checking out what it can do before hand. This is definitely tempting me!
Outstanding Anthony. I really like the way you gave the image a pleasing color pallet. It made the lut you used at the end more effective.
Thanks Tom :)
One of the best Luminar teachers... thanks so much for explaining the curves and develop raw. Liked and subscribed.
This is an AMAZING edit. I'll be watching this more than once. Thanks, Anthony!
