[@jamesjin8839]

When lightroom first introduced sky as an AI mask/object in lightroom I tried it for a shot or two since I shoot a lot of sunset/sunrise where the sky is extremely bright and you almost always need to shoot bracket or HDR modes. But they weren't really good. I've since came to the conclusion that getting it right in camera is still much more important than software corrections you can have at this stage. I'm always inspired by the famous saying that photography is about making selections. You can't have, or capture everything you see in front of you. And the art evolves around you making a choice of including this or throw away that. We get serious about our craft, investing big bucks on lenses and hardware to allow us create with maximum quality. If you cheap it out and fell prey to laziness, it makes you no different to those with a phone merely point at things and touching.

[@My123Tutorials]

Strong opinion 😂 Doing everything the right way is great. But sometimes you didn't have the time or the experience. In both cases is a simple and relative fast solution better than leaving it as it is just because the circumstances weren't perfect. And shouldn't you use your resources reasonable even when your goal it is to create "art"? I think this fits the saying "work smarter, not harder".

[@jamesjin8839]

​@@My123Tutorials That is no strong opinion. It is a blood basics that you get the RAW file right in camera before you go nuts about who has the best skills in lightroom/photoshop/etc. If you take that as opinion, I'm afraid photography isn't for you. No time, no experiecen, circumstances aren't perferct, are not problems related to my "opinion". They're a constant to any photograher and part of common struggle. And only through working your way around that struggle you develop your own style, your own touch. That there is the very own art of yours, which you literally just mocked upon, that you've been doing all this way along. What a shame. There is no such thing as "simple and fast" solution at this stage unless your camera sensor can do 30 plus stop of dynamic range, or your lens has an aperture of F0.1. As I already tested, lightroom/photoshop sky mask will not 100% always give the best result. You'd have much higher chance rather doing it right in camera at first than rely on those apps later. "No time, no experiecen, circumstances aren't perferct" are mere excuses that you being a typical human just chose the lazy easy way out than do your best. If the sky is overcast and dull, try to shoot something else and come back another day. Don't cheap it out with AI replacements. That is not photography. nor any "resource" available or "smart" act in this field.

I bought Luminar Neo after his last video about it and I was excited to use it but j hate to say that I was very disappointed. The software is very slow running and it doesn’t work well on most photos because it’s hard to do very specific edits. I still use it on a couple of photos but only as a plug-in for Lightroom.

[@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx]

I was surprised at the cost when he said it wasn't for professionals.

[@kjeksklaus7944]

I get excited thinking these things have moved on, then I remember my experiences like you of downloading, loading some photos up and it just not working properly at all.

[@XCatchAFire420X]

It’s also very disappointing that they still do not have one of the features that is their biggest selling point on their ads. Background replacement. The ads boast about it and how easy it is to use bust still have not introduced it and still using ads promoting it.

[@olkaxfasolka]

same here. it's just too slowly..

[@drGremi]

@@XCatchAFire420X I use the older version of luminar ai, honestly I have no issues with background replacement. Its big problem is it hasn’t layerings, but for the most of cases it’s enough for me

[@beefy19841192]

I bought it after watching this video. I primarily use Affinity and have had great results with Affinity, however this application gives me the ability to help teach my kids about photo editing due to the relative ease of how it works. My kids went from, "Dang, dad is gonna be in his office for hours editing photos," to, "Dad's gonna let me click stuff and help." Total game changer for those that can't dedicate hours and hours toward processing projects.

This is amazing! I love taking photos. I have since I was a little kid. I ended up buying a decent camera so I can take pictures as a hobby. However, after trying to edit photos with Lightroom and Photoshop. I got turned off and was really upset with myself because I just can't edit photos. I haven't taken pictures in so long because I hate the idea of trying to edit them. So this could be a GREAT option for me to try and get back in the swing of things.

[@CiprianOlariu]

I love Skylum products from the Luminar lineup. There are two issues though: 1. They are quite slow on my MacBook Pro. 2. Every year they release a new version that barely has a few extra features and ask you for more money (sure, you have a discount as an existing user, but this kinda becomes a yearly subscription model if you want all their new features). I personally stopped buying and I'm sticking with Luminar AI until they do some bigger new release and fix their performance issues

[@WeildtheTrident]

@@DroningaboutIreland what computer are you using? I purchased the m1 Mac mini specifically for it and it gets bogged down but Neo a lot. Granted I work with a Leica Q2 and a Sony A7RIV so the file sizes are Huge

[@homebuyerlab]

@@DroningaboutIreland really? I have an M1 Max and luminar is super slow. The slowness is my only complaint. My workflow is open in Lightroom, transfer to photoshop and use luminar plugin. Every time you make an adjustment to a layer with luminar it has to open the plugin and takes forever. Plus within luminar, actions take a long time to load.

Get an external hard drive. I think Pete has done a video on the ones he uses.

[@JustinRY]

External hard drive or you get a NAS depending on your budget

[@matthew.silver]

@@Captain_foss yeah but I wouldn’t. Ind seeing what he does for Lightroom, not Lightroom classic. Things have changed with the adobe stuff and there isn’t much out there so seeing a professional workflow and data management would be good.

[@matthew.silver]

@@JustinRY yeah I’m debating doing my own NAS or utilizing the upcoming prime day. I’m just interested in the entire flow since there isn’t much that I can kind for Lightroom (not classic). I have an external already but I want to see how to scale and Pete or Kurt probably have a nifty solution for all levels of photographers. I do have my pictures already saved in the cloud and locally, at least 3 different place but it could be more efficient

[@JonasBecker]

I use 2 types of external harddrives for my professional and private camera work. External HDDs (usually WesternDigital 4TB) for archiving stuff (as they are cheap but slow) and external SSDs (Samsung T7) for projects I still need to edit (as they are fast af but more pricey). A NAS would be another option, but I'm pretty happy with my way for now.

I am learning photoshop and damn a lot goes into it!! I am glad I am learning how to use it rather than a one click ! Although easy / quick edit options also can speed up your production time which can be good also .. I didn't realise how much can be done in editing but also I thought and was way off floating objects ! Would luminar be good for editing product photography the masking looks easier and a lot faster than using selection tools !

I did the trail on the Luminar AI and was impressed by its ability but I cannot help but feel as if it’s cheating when I did the sky replacement on a couple photos. It did improve the photos but I just felt like I was doing something wrong.

LOG is super easy to work with. Shoot in log, then download the Canon/Sony/Nikon log to Rec.709 LUT (Look up table), apply the LUT in your video editor, and it will convert the log footage to a normalized image. And now that I read what I wrote I see that working with LOG is not simple at all haha.

You could use it for pro, but comparing it with Photoshop etc it's missing a lot and imo it's more quick editing.

Hey peter! You should demo ON1 Photo Raw. Its the best lightroom alternative. It includes importing, photo organization, ai denoise, presets. Its the whole ordeal and only $100 so its crazy. Especially for people who cant afford lightroom or dont want to pay for a subscription.

I like how your hair is every color at once

[@Tekofilic]

I liked Luninar for a while but it got several issues, the biggest one for me was when I render a photo directly/indirectly( indirectly through Photoshop coz direct render mostly fails), the colors are washed out after a while when I transfer the image to my iPhone or another windows laptop, I am sure it’s something related to the color chart but it was hard for me to fix. I left Luminar. Additionally, the image size is too much and you need a photoshop to export your image through I guess it was heavy for my system I use iMac 27 inch core i7 though. Not sure if you guys have experienced the same problem.

[@etuoyo]

Always loved Luminar. But switched to Lightroom because Luminar is just way way too slow for batch editing which is most of my photo editing. An album that I can edit in one hour will probably take three hours on Luminar. Same thing when it comes to exporting. Large file size means it takes like 5 times as long as Lightroom to export. Now I will only use Luminar if I want to edit like just one or two photos.

[@dominikcygan2664]

[@My123Tutorials]

I'm a professional photographer and I own Neo and AI. On both programs I really like the tools to enhance faces, sky replacement, sun rays and the glow effects. But the software is currently too slow for a proper workflow integration. I hope that they will improve this part. But we should not forget that these people are based in Ukraine - where a Russian invasion is happening. So things must be difficult for them.
