Luminar NeoTry it →Watch full video →Anthony TurnhamAnthony Turnham·

Demo summary

The creator uses Accent AI, Structure AI, and the Foliage Enhancer tool to pop details in the grass and mountains, including adjusting the hue of the greens.

Step-by-step

  1. Apply Accent AI to enhance the overall look of the photo.
  2. Increase Structure AI to add detail to specific areas like mountains.
  3. Use a soft brush to manually mask in the Structure AI effect to avoid halos.
  4. Navigate to the Landscape tool and adjust the Foliage Enhancer to increase vibrancy in greenery.
  5. Adjust the Hue Foliage slider to correct the color of the greens.
  6. Open Super Contrast and adjust Midtones and Shadow Balance to refine the sky.
  7. Go to Color Harmony and use the Color Contrast slider to target specific hues.

Options

  • Use AI masking to select the mountain automatically
  • Adjust the Hue setting within Color Contrast to change how contrast interacts with specific colors

Watch out for

  • AI masking can sometimes cause abrupt edges or haloing around objects
  • The Foliage Enhancer can introduce oversaturated or unappealing greens if the hue isn't adjusted
  • The Landscape tool can cause unwanted artifacts or 'crazy things' in the sky if not monitored

Tips

  • Apply Accent AI sparingly as it can become 'too much' as an edit progresses
  • Use a soft brush for masking to let effects ease naturally into the surroundings
  • Darken shadow balance rather than brightening it to maintain depth in the sky
  • Only 'tickle in' a small amount of Color Contrast to avoid an over-processed look

Highlights

“I think that's a really neat way to work with contrast. Very different. Very Skylum thinking about things in a completely different way.”
