Another great video. The versatility of Lumenzia is mind-blowing.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Thank you!

[@DarrenRussinger]

Fantastic!

[@wawanbalik]

This is absolutely wonderful, thanks a lot Greg.

Oh to have a printable script !! Thanks for doing a demo that includes LR & PS together.

[@davidpederson8845]

Great image, Greg. One of the best demonstrations I've seen on bringing out detail in shadow areas. First rate instruction. Thanks.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Thank you

[@scottsoutter7271]

This video was immensely helpful. I've been using Lumenzia for about a year to support blending, and doing a bit of tentative exploration around other applications, but watching you march through multiple selections in a single layer really clarified things. Super stuff.

[@gregbenzphotography]

Glad that was helpful!

[@echoauxgen]

Great processing! But to save some playtime I bracket 5 @ +/- 2ev for blue hour and sunrise/set when sun is visible mainly for noise in shadows even for ISO 50. You can use all or pick one frame. Also remember, if you can, your camera style setting if using neutral colors are subdued so scroll through in live view to capture the colors you see, if you can. Sometimes the original capture image will save time in getting what you desire.

Great video tutorial Greg, learning something different for me about how to use Dodge and Burn, using selective colours and HSL, thank you so much once again

[@J5388T]

Greg, as always a very helpful tutorial with plenty of useful tips to enhance an image. Thanks!

Exceptional video, Greg!!

Thanks, Robin!

[@chrisross3631]

I captured an image similar to this and was struggling with how to make it look better. Thanks for the amazing tips!

Gotta go!

Awesome video Greg. I just buy the photography main bundle but didn't get your Lumenzia panel. I'm little disappointing.

[@gregbenzphotography]

It’s in the main bundle for sure. You can contact [e-mail] if you can’t find your link/code to get setup.

[@pradiptadattachaudhuri6457]

@@gregbenzphotography Thank you so much. Yes I got your panel.

[@shengyetang7220]

Real stuff, I think I need more practice to fully understand them.

[@JSnowPhoto]

I know Im late here, but thanks a lot for that shout out! Very satisfied user of your panel!

[@gregbenzphotography]

That’s awesome to hear!

[@TheGazzadj]

Hi, I was looking at a Black and White panel by Joel T, I am guessing that is a lightly different workflow and you panel can cope with colour as well as black and white??

[@gregbenzphotography]

Yes, this panel can handle both. Has several features designed to help specifically with color, a multi-zone masking system, etc.

[@TheGazzadj]

@@gregbenzphotography Ok, thank you, this panel may well suit me better as I do more colour than b&w but I do like the b&w architecture images from JT and JaG.

[@jensvielmann7662]

Do you usually only do one? Dodge or Burn?? Is it generally a mistake to do both?? Or doesnt that make no sense because its would be pretty much simular to just turning up the contrast? (Just had some bad results a while back... though maybe my masks were also a bit to hard)

[@gregbenzphotography]

I frequently do both. It may add contrast (often does), but it is FAR more controlled than adding contrast with say a curve.

[@noddon7004]

I like your detailed explanation but at 6.34 in your video when I do the selection I am visited by marching ants, which I don't see in your video...Am I doing someting wrong or is the recent update V10 working differently ?

[@gregbenzphotography]

Please make sure you have checked the option in the flyout menu at top right to hide marching ants (it is not checked by default).

[@noddon7004]

@@gregbenzphotography Thanks, that did the trick !

I bought the 5 Day Deal!

[@gregbenzphotography]

Thank you!

[@tdw4675]

is there a way to combine a luminosity mask with a colour channel using the panel? (e.g. L2 + Red Channel+Dodge and Burn Layer) - thanks in advance

[@gregbenzphotography]

You can combine pretty much anything by using group masks (the “combine” button can then simplify by putting them all together). You can cmd-click on buttons like L for more options, such as to use the red channel - or use customize color vis the orange layers. Lots of options, just depends on what you need.

[@tdw4675]

@@gregbenzphotography Thanks for the quick reply. i just tested that and it helps greatly. thank you
