He knows what he is doing and can explain it very well.

[@Wunderbaum64]

This channel is the top Luminar Neo go to. Thanks

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Glad you think so!

[@macsprotte1436]

As usual with Anthony‘s vlogs: very rewarding to watch!

[@Centauri27]

Awesome masterclass Anthony! I watched it til the very end. So many great tips, and your premise is indeed simple and obvious: problem/solution. The only drawback is knowing when to stop! It is indeed easy to go overboard or realize you've spent wayyyy too much time on a photo, when you have dozens left in your "to process" pile!

[@AnthonyTurnham]

So true, so true. Hey thanks for staying with me till the end! And cheers for the support as always! 😀

[@scottyucatan1]

I think I learned a lot and i am looking forward to using the two step process to re work the ruins of the Yucatan

[@ronlee1990]

Your eye is obviously a lot sharper than mine. However, I love your problem/solution, problem/solution approach to editing a photo. Will definitively be using it in the future. Thank you.

[@don7117]

Love the approach. Takes a photo from overwhelming to a bunch of small problems to solve. Great long format video without a bunch of useless fluff, boring intro, etc. Perfect.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Great to hear. It's always tough to know whether people will like a longer video like this. I always try to pack in as much useful info as I can 😀 thanks for watching 👀

[@hughellins1422]

That was a cracker and I like the approach of problem solving. I also like the longer video approach. In other words an all round like

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Awesome, thank you!

[@hannahmountry5030]

I really love this approach! Such a good idea for tackling those edits where you just don't know what to do - which happens to me a lot. This is going to help me out massively! Best 36 minutes I've spent in my photo editing education, so many useful tips! Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinw7044]

Excellent.

[@richardbirger2245]

Very good sample of how to go through the creative process ... especially the realization that each time you view an image it may look different ... keep up the good work

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Many thanks!

[@johnheida139]

Great tutorial, I love your instructive approach to editing.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Thanks so much!

[@chrisstark8136]

Really love your videos feel like I learn so much, thank you for sharing them, will definitely be using this approach ❤

[@SergNikiforovGordeev]

A great lesson! Thank you very much!

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Glad you liked it!

[@leonfisher]

I was pleasantly surprised by the final image.

[@perrysmithphotography2915]

Anthony...thanks for pulling this tutorial together and presenting all the tools that reside in Luminar Neo to help achieve one's "vision"...this really helps and inspires!

[@AnthonyTurnham]

My pleasure. Glad it was helpful!

[@chk3811]

Great 👍

[@JonathanMorley]

I took a photo of a Vermilion flycatcher which had a lot of red on his head and breast. The sunlight was slightly behind and to the right of the bird which added amazing contrast to the highlights and details and also slightly back illuminated the feathers on the top of his head. The challenge I ran into is that the glowing red feathers almost looked fake. I played around with the HSL to bring down the illumination and saturation just in certain areas but it was hard to find a happy medium where the colors weren't too bright and fake looking but also weren't too dark and dull either.

[@jaumeolle3127]

The road to astonishing results. Thank you.

[@MrDrelnar]

I was in Milford Sound a month ago, what an amazing place ! NZ as a whole is a fantastic country, wonders at every corner ! I'm currently editing my pictures, thanks for the inspiration with this one. Love this longer format :)

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Great to hear. Yes, wow, Milford Sound right?! What an amazing place. The drive in too is epic. Especially during a heavy downpour when waterfalls are born before your eyes 👀. Magical!

[@MrDrelnar]

@@AnthonyTurnham I sadly didn't get that chance, it wasn't raining. No thousand waterfalls for me ! It was still amazing though !

[@fotowalo]

Reminds me of fineartwork in b /w in darkroom, thx a lot 🙂

[@thomasocheltree4170]

Thanks. I’ve found myself using this technique too. 👍👍👍

[@gregorychard]

G'day Anthony I simply LOVE your approach that you have done in this video. Outstanding, and I will be using this approach in the future. Thanks a million, mate. 👍 👍 👍 Greg

[@NoDoSwLa]

Love your videos. My beacons in the Luminar world🙂

[@fenraven]

Very helpful video. I always enjoy watching you edit! Wow, terrific result. :)

[@jonnyroids1482]

Awesome video, at first photo editing was very daunting but I've watched a load of your luminar neo tutorials and you have helped me loads in understanding all of its features. I'm still new to editing but I feel a lot more confident since I've started following you. Thank you very much.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Great to hear!

[@Humbug7225]

Always useful and gets me playing more with more photos!

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Happy to help!

[@xuaculopez8371]

Thad or your tricks champ

[@Motivatedlightmedia]

Pretty sky's. Too bad you can't batch rename, water mark and export a gig for clients. Export also takes HOURS (LR 10 5 min). Tried this software for a week to ditch adobe. Impossible for volume photographers at this time. Guess AI can't rename more then a single image at a time. And yes I asked support directly, because I was surprised to say the least. It's kinda like having a pretty, sports car with great features and no steering wheel. I don't get it.

[@maxmillion4216]

I just purchased Laminar Neo. So I have a large learning curve ahead of me. The only thing about your tutorials I find very distracting is your hands waving all the time. And you move the mouse around to fast. A slower pace would be more enjoyable. Sorry I'm old

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Sorry about that. My hands are inextricably linked to my brain and if I don't wave them around enough I go into a vegetative state. The doctor says I must keep moving them. And the more they move, the better my ideas. 😅
