![]() ![]() ![]() Enhance the sharpness of your small, medium and large details selectively. “The Details Enhancer filter helps you create dramatic photos and brings crystal-clear sharpness to your images. Again let me quote from the Skylum website. And thinking about it also with some night-time iPhone photos – lets see of Luminar can rescue these digital snow-storms better than Lightroom can. I am going to put Luminar head to head with Lightroom on some of my night photography photos taken with my Olympus OM-D EM5 Mk2. I have just had to use Photoshop to reduce the noise in some very dark photos, so this is something else that I need help with. Micro four thirds cameras have smaller sensors, which are more susceptible to noise. 5 Luminosity and Colour DenoiseĪs regular readers will know I have been experimenting with Olympus micro four thirds cameras. It preserves both colours and details for more realistic detailed photo.”Īgain check out the example on the Skylum page (I am not allowed to publish my own examples yet). This is what Skylum say.Ĭomparing to regular contrast, Smart Contrast is more careful and sophisticated. Check out the example on the Skylum website – this is quite scary as well! 4 Smart contrast There are two parts to this – Accent AI and Sky Enhancer AI. I have lots of photos taken with my iPhone and DLSR that just need a quick boost and posting on my websites, so this might be just the tool for that. I will give this a go for quick editing of photos for my travel websites, Photos of Santorini and Paxos Travel Guide. Sounds scary but the best thing I can do is give this a try and show you the results. This is a super intelligent clarity tool that analyses the photo and does stuff to it to make it look better. Luminar 4 automatically identifies objects (including people and faces, clouds, water, buildings and more) and improves them in an intelligent, content-aware way.”Įrm blimey. “Boosting details with traditional Clarity and Structure tools often make parts of a photo look horrible. Let me quote from the Skylum website what this is. But I do – it works fantastically well to give super quick completely realistic results. If you don’t like this that is fine – everyone is entitled to their opinion. And do my clients care if I have swapped the sky? If I am photographing a building I only have that one day to do it, so if the weather is rubbish I have to do something after the event. No this is just the same thing but done using AI – maybe that is what people do not like. People have been replacing the sky for years, along with lots of other stuff, using Photoshop. The other thing I would like to say is to all those people who are calling this out for making fake photos is this – this is nothing new. And no layers (I have written in the past about my lack of understanding of layers!). I was not expecting it to work as well as it does if I am being completely honest but having tried it on a variety of photos I can say that it is truly remarkable, and more importantly something that I will use in my commercial photography work. When I say you I mean all of us of course. if you thought this was a gimmick then in my opinion you are wrong. I won’t go on about this again other than to say two things.įirstly. That is the AI bit, which is like I say truly remarkable.Īnd it then does a bit of relighting of the scene.Īnd you can tweak the results so have control over the end result. There is no masking required – it selects the sky and nothing else. To find out lots more about this fantastic tool check out the blog post I wrote last week called Luminar 4 and AI Sky Replacement are nearly with us! ![]() ![]() OK – that is that done – lets get stuck into the good stuff – the 9 New Luminar 4 Features I am looking forward to using (ok some of them I am already playing with!).
