Great content and tutorial, as always.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

@@phototoursandexpeditions thanks Dan!

[@ThePaulemond]

I love how you clearly explain how to use Luminar Neo. Some talk too much and too fast. You are clear and you get the point across beautifully.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Thank you so much! Have you considered getting my full Luminar Neo course? I cover every single tool in great detail. www.digitalphotomentor.com/luminar-neo-course/

[@Alts33hausen]

Darlene I give it a 10... I used in the past Dodge & Burn, but I like this method... great Job as usual.. you are on the ball and so innovative...

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Thank you so much!

[@nzedsurfer]

Thankyou very helpful. Just need the clone tool

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

I hear you!

[@brucewiebe6490]

Very useful tips. I haven’t used Neo since it first came out cause it was so incomplete. May have to go back and give it another try with the latest updates.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

You should! Only thing not added yet that was promised is the clone tool and background replacement. I personally don't miss either

[@micahgabriel2072]

Thank you for the video...

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Welcome

[@katherinelouden4928]

This will be used all the time so I give it a 9 . Thank you .

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Awesome

[@shapshot1]

10 for me Darlene...I think your method might be easier...thanks see ya lateer!

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Thanks Sheila

[@bgovan64]

Great way to dodge and burn. I give it a 10. I agree that being able to add a name to the tool title to identify clearly under edits would be super beneficial!!!

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Thanks glad you liked it

[@Ilene1020]

Great hack: a 10! I suppose you could also use multiple dodges and burns to vary the intensity in different areas of a photo making it even more useful. Great video, thanks!

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Yes you could! You're welcome

[@rebeccamoore4177]

10. Super helpful. I have still been using Ai due to no dodge and burn. Time to jump into Neo!

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Yay, glad that helped you get off the fence!

[@martyzechman2793]

Thanks. A 10. Very useful. I have to think about how to integrate it into my workflow with Lightroom.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

You can still use LR as your main editor and Neo as a plug-in.

[@martyzechman2793]

@@DigitalPhotoMentor thanks. My question is would it be easier to attempt this dodge and burn hack in LR it Neo?

[@therealbitotter]

Great hack. Thank you!

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Enjoy!

[@elizabethwhitcomb1406]

Love this hack! I give it a 10.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

I'm so glad!

[@andrewmckinney3053]

Very useful, Darlene! I really miss the D&B tool, but have compensated by using the develop tool with exposure only. Your use of light/shadows and contrast sliders gives me more scope. Like you, I'd really like to have a renaming option, too!! 10 :)

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Awesome

[@RobCooper]

Yep, will be nice to have the tool eventually. Hack is awesome in the mean time

[@raghunath2437]

Excellent!

very valuable! 9

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Great to hear

[@johnmorrell]

Just curious, by why do you say 'free' when it means I have to give you my email address. Free would be just click and it would download automatically, or I can save the file. Thanks for the tips anyway. It's a real time saver knowing how to do this in Luminar.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Free means $0.00. It is free. You can unsubscribe at any time. Still costs you nothing. Glad you liked the tutorial.

[@thegroove2000]

Renaming is a great idea.

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

agreed!

[@thegroove2000]

@@DigitalPhotoMentor Thanks for your insights.

Subbed.

[@jamesbartoschsr.9474]

It is a 10. I went and worked on a photo as I was watching you trying to duplicate what you were doing but the issue I had was I couldn't get my Radial to go oblong. I tried different ways and nothing. Any idea what I was doing wrong?

[@DigitalPhotoMentor]

Just grab one of the dots and stretch it, hard for me to say without seeing exactly what you're doing.
