Amazing how you stretch the capabilities of Luminar 4.2. I opine a good imaginative, and explorative mind is wonderful asset, and that you show what can be achieved is generous. Thanks for sharing.

[@annebowman4371]

Fantastic tutorial Gary. Certainly increased my knowledge of masking/blending within Luminar. Looking forward to a video on luminosity masking

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Glad you enjoyed it Anne and found it useful. Editing the next one today so will be up soon. Thanks again😁👍👍

[@gbarr711]

Just what I was looking for. Never even thought of blending 2 images using the brush. Fantastic tutorial once again Gary. 👍👍

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Thanks for commenting Gavin, glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful. Part in the masking videos coming this week 😀👍👍

[@markbarnes9694]

Excellent video! I didn't know you could add different types of masks to the base image without having to create layers for each. If you haven't already touched on it, how to use the Luminosity mask would be great. Thanks again.

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Hi Mark, thanks for watching and commenting. Luminosity and detail masking are the next video on Tues/Wednesday 😁👍👍

[@davidfimio6637]

Thanks!! The best instructions as always!

[@andybanks3416]

Thanks Gary , very informative, could you make a video on how to add fog into a woodland scene, thanks again.

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Hi Andy and thanks for watching. I'll plan something like that for the future yeah no probs😀👍👍

Gary McIntyre Photographer ; Thanks Gary , will look forward to it , cheers .

Cheers mate, great job, so informative thank you

I have a bunch of pictures from a cloudy white gray skies on Kite Day down by the Washington Monument in Washington DC. So, I am replacing the gray skies with blue skies. However, the kites in the sky have white areas and there are flags on tall poles stuck in the ground with white stripes. So, the sky replacement tool doesn't recognize white areas. It paints skies over them. I have no idea how to do neat erases from such small and irregular objects (plus the wind bends them). The only solution I know is to call Luminar as a filter and use the subject masking tool in Photoshop (with the add option) to select the flags and kites and then select the inverse. Is there another approach?

How to enlarge and reduce the brush with the keyboard???

Hi, its the square brackets on the keyboard to enlarge and reduce the brush😁👍👍

I have a image of man with 1-2 days white beard ( very small hair) and I want to change color from white to black without affecting skin. Is there a way to achieve this in Luminar?

[@robinheider414]

You hinted a while back about doing a video about objects, maybe just obliquely referenced it, I havent been able to find the video, anyway are you planning to do one?

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Hi Robin, yes I will be doing one in the near future. I do keep saying near future I know, so please if you can bear with me as I'm finishing off projects currently 🙏😁👍

[@ikbenchris1]

Waw!!!!

[@acneubauer]

Is 4.2 now bug free ?

[@davidfimio6637]

something I found by accident, if you add an image layer and use the gradient mask to blend it, you have to create a stamped layer before you can add another image layer...the first time I tried, it created a ghost second image as a clone almost to the first, just over the intersection of the blended layers. Once I stamped the first two, the third image worked properly....

[@aaronrobinson2689]

Hi Gary, thank you for this video! Is it possible in luminar to blend Bracketed images... rather than use HDR software, blending is classed as a better way to process an image.. it’s possible via photoshop however it’s so complicated.. can this be done via luminar

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Hi Aaron, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching, it was a long one. I would personally recommend merging them in Aurora HDR to be honest, if you are using skylum software. You can create an action in photoshop which will ease the process 😁👍👍

[@rs-vh4rt]

I add an image layer and want to transform that layer, so I set the Opacity to 50%, but when I select the Transform tool, it goes to full opacity, so I can't see the image below. I can still transform the layer fine but I can't see what is under it, and once I am done with the transform it goes back to 50%. Am I doing something wrong? I tried it just like in the tutorial video. Thanks.

[@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer]

Hi, what system are you using mac or pc? as I've heard that this happens for some. I've very recently moved to pc so I'll check to see if it happens on mine 😀👍👍

[@rs-vh4rt]

@@GaryMcIntyrePhotographer I'm on pc windows 10, I like luminar a lot but this foult is really annoying,I hope it's will be fixed in future.
