BIG NEWS! Skylum has just launched a summer sale where you can save a massive 81% off Luminar Neo here bit.ly/NeoSale But the cool thing is in addition to that they've given me a coupon code to share with you so you get to save ANOTHER 20% (use code AFF-T5C1C0 ) I really hope that helps you out! It should work for both the perpetual licence and the subscription too. Enjoy😄 Best wishes, Anthony

I found it really useful and gives me lots to play with. The only problem is I'm going to spend too much time editing and not enough time cleaning my house (oh well, will give up on the cleaning!). Thanks for a great video.

Fascinating edit. I'll have to watch it again. I've been working with layers for a couple of decades, but apparently I'm still learning, since the way you did this opened my eyes to new possibilities. :)
@harryfrankfurt487811 ай бұрын
Most of this layer work I would do in Photoshop, Affinity Photo or similar, because you simply have a lot more possibilities there. That being said, there is always a lot to learn from your videos and I was able to take away a lot here as well. Many thanks!
@igorgoga79852 ай бұрын
Super excellent but may I mention that in addition, this is what you had to explain to beginners, otherwise the tutorial is not going to work. 7:17 You can paint (erase, in your case) sections of the layer using the brush. Paint example: The layer that you want to paint WITH, click on it and then go to the BRUSH in this layer. Use the brush. The layer that is highlighted will PAINT what it has to offer on the overall image. Erase example: the layer that is highlighted using the erase option of the brush will make holes in itself, leaving visible what is underneath this layer. The above is impossible to know for any beginner.

So many great tips Anthony, in particular overlaying a color patch. I've done the layer & masking trick with the HDR version in Photoshop, but it's so much easier (and intuitive) in Neo! (I never did warm up to Photoshop.)

Neo is great, but layers is definitely one area where they could improve. As you've noted in several videos, the inability to flatten layers is ridiculous. I also wish there was an easier, one-click method for hiding/showing a layer. I love the eyeball icon in other editing apps. An eyeball icon on each layer and a single click on that hides or shows the layer. Right clicking on a layer and then clicking on the hide layer menu option adds an additional step for something that should be dead simple. Great video and great subject, though. I was waiting for you to throw some sun rays into the top area of the waterfall since you were going for that dreamlike appearance.
@AnthonyTurnham11 ай бұрын
Hi Matthew. Totally agree. Hopefully the techs can do something about that soon. Yeah sunrays beaming through could have been the finishing touch! I feel I've used them a fair bit though of late and was mindful of my edits getting too 'samey'.

Thank you Anthony. Following: how can you align the base foto with the merged foto if the fotos were taking without a tri-pot. An auto-alignment is present in the HDR-merge feature but I haven't seen it in the LAYER feature. Perhaps I have missed it. Can I use my RAW files as layers and start working on them. Does this procedure has an alignment feature?
@AnthonyTurnham6 ай бұрын
There's no auto align but what I did for years in Photoshop for years can be done here. Get them roughly aligned by dragging, scaling and rotating the new layer with 50% opacity. Then zoom in to make more fine tuned shifts. It's not ideal, but it's fairly quick and will get you close enough, especially with forgiving subjects like waterfalls 😀

Another useful video. I am still struggling with why use Layers for editing the same image when seemingly one can achieve the same effect by editing . That also creates a trail of edits which can be individually adjusted. Am I missing something? Hugh
@AnthonyTurnham10 ай бұрын
Hi Hugh. It's just a unique effect you can only achieve by blending one layer with itself in a particular blend mode. Of course as with a lot of things in editing there are other approaches to get a similar result. Personally I really love using curves for dodge and burn but I'm just presenting alternatives. 🙂
@hughellins142210 ай бұрын
Got it. The major difference is the blending now I an with you. Thanks @@AnthonyTurnham
@shawnmccaig558311 ай бұрын
Couldn't you create a "stamped layer" to basically get the same effect as flattening all layers?
@AnthonyTurnham11 ай бұрын
Unfortunately that functionality hasn't been implemented in Luminar at the time of recording.
@ew591511 ай бұрын
Hi Anthony, how do I do this, I'm shooting a scene that require to be focus stacked and at the same time it also require to be bracketed. How can I put this together in Luminar Neo.
@AnthonyTurnham11 ай бұрын
Hi. Firstly I'd deal with the exposure brackets. Bring them together with the HDR merge tool - or your preferred method. Let's say that brings your set of 15 shots made up of 3 brackets and 5 different focus points now down to just 5 images. Export these newly merged photos as nice high quality tiffs, and then throw the 5 tiffs into the focus stacking extension. At the end you should have 1 file that contains the best of a full dynamic range and full focus range.

If you’re as lazy as I am, just go to Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore and screen grab some of their paint color swatches.

Maybe I'm a bozo, but I can't believe that Luminar Neo cannot stamp or merge layers except through an obtuse workaround. I checked with their technical support today and this function is still unavailable. Otherwise, super informative video.

No mate, you're not a bozo. It's a real shame that layer merging hasn't been introduced yet.
