Top 10 Tips For Landscape Photo Editing In Luminar NEO

[@captynrj]

...that light sandwich - absolute game changer!!!!!!

[@rebeccamoore4177]

Smashing video. I am baffled by the photographers that seem to dislike Ai and ooze disdain. They’re perhaps caught by the time and $ they have invested in older software companies? But these are the same people who wouldn’t think twice about removing a rock or even (gasp) swap out a sky on their HEAVILY edited photos. Okay rant over.

[@michaelpegg8966]

Excellent video thank you.

[@draknagar]

Excellent and comprehensive presentation! Thank you 😊🙏

[@elnidofan]

Transitioning from Luminar 4 to Neo and this video allowed me to cut down on the learning curve of finding the location of the UI in Neo. Lots of very helpful tips here as I am primarily a landscape photographer. Thanks for putting this together.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

You're welcome! Glad it helped 😃

[@paulinanelega]

Colour! Great vid, as per usual - thank you very much.

[@johnlee1103]

Thanks a lot, I learned a lot especially about "color and sunray" , expecting other new lessons.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Thanks John. More will be coming....

[@declanodoherty9297]

Great video. Your style of teaching is very refreshing, coming from a lecturer. It’s all about creating a work of art. Keep posting. It’s helping me discover what a marvelous piece of software Neo is.

[@drwride]

Very helpful, thanks. Convinced me that I need to spend some time to learn bracketing and hdr merge.

[@arpearce4416]

Thanks again. tip 10 was my favourite. Looking forward to the Excire training.

[@atthewoodie3384]

This is so helpful! Would love to see more on color.

[@paulkaihla7743]

Had to watch this a few times = so dense, so detailed and so good ✅

[@BrettOssman]

I like pushing sliders to 100. I started doing that and it really helps. Thanks.

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Masterclass as always Anthony, tip 10 is my take away from this as having a fresh look at an edit could really help me as my stuff can be over baked, thank you.

[@timsatterfield1794]

Good Video, Always like your videos Tip # 10 to me is the most important, whether I am editing my photos or editing my writing. I tend to get to close to the work to see where I can improve.

[@thisarfingai]

Another great tutorial, thank you once again. And yes... a colour episode would be amazing.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Hi mate. Can you please resend your email info to [e-mail] I'm currently away and out of office but trying to get you access to the dropbox with the photo examples. Cheers 😀

[@kimraymond2749]

Thanks Tony a great overview video and I am tempted to try doing some landscapes. I have been getting a hang of things and appreciate the clone tool. Unfortunately there has been another update from Neo but since then it hasn't worked (it seems to be a common complaint). Its extremely slow, the sliders dont respond, with even the most basic functions only working on single bird edits. I have uninstalled and will load the earlier version in hope that it works again. Up to then the combination with DXO Pure Raw has worked well for me not being a professional and simply wanting to post bird photos on Facebook. Good news! that did the trick the program is working well again.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Thanks for letting me know Kim. Hopefully whatever got changed in the code will get fixed in ghe next update, and hopefully that's not far away!

[@markflanagan521]

Great stuff Mister Turnham, have enjoyed you're presentations on Luminar Neo for quite sometime. I have it also and find the ease of use plus the learning curve very intuitive thanks to you're techniques.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Thanks Mark. Glad you're liking the vids!

[@markflanagan521]

@@AnthonyTurnham you're welcome sincerely Mark

[@Teddy-ne3gd]

Superb

[@michaelhale416]

Another great tutorial. Tips I certainly will put into use moving forward. Especially the last one. There have been multiple times I have rushed through an edit, to print an image for family and friends, with great regrets. My wife finds it strange that I do that, especially since, in her words, it takes too long for me to take a shot (my wife is not into photography). I need more patience in front of the computer screen. Thanks.

[@slowlyrusting4044]

You have just described me to a tee.

[@stephenjane8193]

Very good thanks. colour please . Nz

[@slowlyrusting4044]

Tip #10 for sure. I have revisited processed images the following day and thought to myself, "What the heck was I thinking"

[@AnthonyTurnham]

I wasn't even going to put in tip 10, but it seems to be the one that resonates with most people!

[@brucewiebe6490]

Great instructional video as always. With all the updates and new improvements in the recent releases I am starting to really like Neo. Would be helpful if they would come out with one slider to affect all of the edits. I think AI had this and would be really helpful to easily tone done some of my ovredits.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

YES! An overall reduction slider like AI had would be great!

[@alangauld6079]

You can simulate this by opening the original image in two layers, then do your edit the top layer. Finally, adjust the opacity of the edited layer and the original will come back underneath thus controlling the intensity of the edits. It works pretty well IMHO.

[@sigurdrille9693]

@@alangauld6079 good input, thx!🙂👍

[@robertmeyerson1618]

Great video! Question about 'colour'... You didn't use the Color Harmony tool. Does it accomplish the same effect as what you had demonstrated?

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Hi Robert. Good question! No, the color harmony, in spite of its name, doesn't really achieve the same colour harmony I demonstrated here.

[@guysingleton3908]

Love your videos. Would you consider doing one turning a day scene into night with a street light. I have one I would love to do but struggling. Keep getting a halo around the roof tops when changing to a night sky and can't get the light right coming from the street light. Also what else to change to get a realistic look. Cheers Guy

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Hi Guy. You might like this one I did on day into night: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ip2mhWCdorOloM0 While it's not got street lamps it may be of some use...

[@sleightr]

Great Video! Curious why you would use HSL for Color Harmony and not "Color Harmony" under the Professional Section of Neo.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

As I mentioned (or perhaps wrote, or perhaps thought in my head 😅) there are many ways to work with colour in most photo editors. Luminar is no different. However, for this purpose of shifting colours the HSL section is my preferred method.

[@felixthecat1882]

Hi Anthony! How about some videos on using "Excire Foto". There seems to be a lot in this Cataloguing software. Regards from Felix the Cat. 😼

PLEASE DO A VIDEO COMPARING LUMINAR NEO VS ON1 PHOTO RAW 2023..........!!!

[@AnthonyTurnham]

That's a really good idea 💡

[@sirisomagunapala4993]

@@AnthonyTurnham That means you do?😁

[@sirisomagunapala4993]

​@@AnthonyTurnhamI really prefer Luminar, but I have a very bugging point. When I mask on Luminar, there is no edge detection feature. I think ON1 photo raw is a better option when we do low-light situations. But I really like Luminar's user-friendly UI. I mostly do street photography and cityscapes, but sometimes landscape.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Hi@@sirisomagunapala4993 it means I'll certainly consider it! I'm super busy with my photog business at the moment but I'll add it to my request list for sure!

[@sigurdrille9693]

Great video, as always 👍 Tip 10 is no doubt an important one. Unfortunately there seems to be no „overall effect“ slider to bring down the intensity of the edit if you are happy with the color toning etc but just need to step it down a bit… or am I missing something?

[@AnthonyTurnham]

No overall effect reduction slider like Luminar AI... yet.

[@guysingleton3908]

When would you use super contrast, watched most of your videos but don't remember you using it 🤔

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Good question. Good tool. I'll put a vid together in the future about when it's a good choice for your editing...

[@guysingleton3908]

@@AnthonyTurnham will look forward to it.

[@felixthecat1882]

Hi again Anthony, very good tips on landscape editing - thanks Anthony! I will shortly be travelling to Yorkshire, including the city of York, and for sure I will be taking some HDR and non-HDR photos. By the way, referring to my previous post, I tried to use Excire's instruction videos, but they are all in German, so that's why I requested you to explain using Excire Foto! Regards from Felix the Cat. 🐱

[@AnthonyTurnham]

🤣 yes I will certainly try to get time for an excire video. You're right, it's really good software, so some non-german instructions would be good. 👍

[@Zetaphotography]

Do you shoot Portraits?

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Yes. I recently did a video covering all aspects of the edit in Neo kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6W2h2xoo8uEr6c

[@francodigitalphotography3227]

I love this editor, but the memory usage is horrible. It tends to drag at basic tasks. The Skylum forum is full of complaints about it.

[@AnthonyTurnham]

Yeah, it's fun to use and actually very powerful. I don't notice lags unless I layer up 25+ tools. I am running 32gb but also feel like an upgrade ony 4yr old system is well overdue!

[@alangauld6079]

I initially used Neo on a Windows PC with an i5 CPU and 16GB RAM. It was horribly slow so I gave up and got a refund. A few months later I had bought a shiny new M1 powered Mac Mini with 16GB and Skylum offered me a deal to buy Neo again - I did, and it flies. I love it on the Mac. But I'm not sure if they improved it in software or if it is just the M1 Mac processor or a bit of both...
