Demo summary

The creator demonstrates basic adjustments in Luminar Neo including cropping, using the AI Noiseless tool for denoising, and adjusting tone and white balance via the Develop module.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Crop tool in the right panel and adjust the frame to remove empty space.
  2. Open the Noiseless AI tool.
  3. Select the recommended denoising level (e.g., Low).
  4. Navigate to the Develop module.
  5. Adjust the Blacks slider to fill the darker side of the histogram.
  6. Lower the Highlights slider to recover image information.
  7. Select the Eyedropper tool and click a neutral target in the image to adjust White Balance.
  8. Fine-tune the Tint slider manually if the automatic adjustment is too strong.

Options

  • Manually adjust the Tint slider instead of using the Eyedropper tool
  • Choose between Low, Middle, or High AI denoising levels

Tips

  • Perform the crop as one of the first steps in your workflow.
  • Use the software's AI suggestion for the appropriate level of noise reduction.
  • Treat basic adjustments in the Develop module as the foundation of any edit.
  • Monitor the histogram to identify missing tonal ranges like the darker side.
