Luminar Neo: Add atmospheric haze with AI masking

Demo summary
Demonstration of adding a haze effect to the rear of a vehicle and using AI depth masking to ensure the effect only appears in specific spatial areas of the image.
Step-by-step
- Select the Haze effect
- Increase the effect intensity to approximately 60%
- Adjust the AI depth slider to around 2% to isolate the rear of the subject
- Select Masking and choose the Brush tool
- Set the brush to Erase with a large, soft brush size
- Brush over areas where the haze is not required to remove the effect
Tips
- Use a big, soft brush when erasing to ensure the transition of the effect looks natural
- Check the 'before and after' frequently to monitor progress
