Luminar NeoTry it →Watch full video →Kai WKai W·

Demo summary

The demo shows how to create virtual copies to test different edits, such as adding fog, vignetting, and converting a photo to black and white using the Structure and Enhance tools.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a virtual copy of the image to avoid duplicating the original file
  2. Apply creative edits like fog and vignetting to the first copy
  3. Use the Enhance tool to adjust texture in the clouds
  4. Select an alternate copy and convert it to black and white
  5. Adjust Accent and Sky Enhancer within the Enhance tool
  6. Increase Structure to bring out crispness and detail
  7. Cycle through the film strip to compare the different versions

Options

  • Add a fake sky using sky replacement
  • Use generative AI tools which automatically create a new copy

Tips

  • Use vignetting when the subject is in the center to focus the viewer's eye
  • Try black and white edits to focus on light and contrast rather than color
  • Use virtual copies as a safety net so you can edit without worrying about messing up the original photo

Highlights

“it's just a nice safety net to have so you can keep on editing without worrying about messing up your photo”
