Luminar NeoTry it →Watch full video →Chiara Talia - Wildlife Photography ·

Demo summary

The creator demonstrates a creative 'fine art' look by using Object Select AI to mask a bird, inverting the mask, and desaturating the entire background while keeping the subject in color.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the HSL tool
  2. Go to Masking and select Object Select
  3. Select the specific parts of the subject you want to keep in color
  4. Go to Mask Action and click Invert
  5. Go to Adjustments and lower the Saturation to zero
  6. Apply a Vignette and choose the subject as the center point

Options

  • Increase the strength of the vignette to match the creative atmosphere

Tips

  • Use this technique to create a 'fine art' look by desaturating everything except the subject's characteristic colors
  • Go stronger with the vignetting when creating a moody or creative atmosphere

Highlights

“I'm seeing this as something more fine art... obviously this is really creative”
