    BIG NEWS! Skylum has just launched a summer sale where you can save a massive 81% off Luminar Neo here bit.ly/NeoSale But the cool thing is in addition to that they've given me a coupon code to share with you so you get to save ANOTHER 20% (use code AFF-T5C1C0 ) I really hope that helps you out! It should work for both the perpetual licence and the subscription too. Enjoy😄 Best wishes, Anthony

    "Me doing a short video?" Ha, nice bit of self deprecation Anthony! I think videos of this length are perfect. Nice seeing your insights as usual. The bit at the end of duplicating the layer and then using a blend mode is just icing on the cake--very few other channels mention this!

    Hey fella, I big thanks goes out to you today for something I picked up from this video. The transform tool. I had this image of Dunstanburgh Castle (Northumberland) taken on a recent trip there and it was a wide angle, around 14.5mm with a Nikon 14-30 lens. I had the castle looking like the tower of pisa. However, your explanation of the transform tool has made me able to crack the problem where I was messing about with barrel and pincushion and getting nowhere, so, big thank you sir.

    Since I’m ur creative consultant 😁 please allow me to give u a few suggestions: Would ❤ to see u delve into LUTs. I’ve found some really cool cinematic effects and I’m worried they may be a crutch. Not sure if u have the time, money, or patience but I’d love to see u do a series on the most beautiful landscape spots in NZ and ur approach to photographing them with a fresh approach. I’m enjoying ur layers technique. I would lastly like to see u tackle color grading more as well. There are so many people with interesting styles and it would be fun to see u deconstruct these styles and see how they are accomplishing their look

    Some great ideas there 👌 thanks! Yeah, I've often thought of doing some style deconstruction videos. Who are some photographers you're thinking of? I've been away to a few locations and am piecing some videos together. They're very time consuming to do though, and the last couple of out and about vids really didn't do well.

    Hi Steve. You're right that of course raw capture on today's sensors give us more editing latitude. However a well scanned or captured jpeg can still benefit massively from good photo editing tools whether that be PS or Neo. For example in Neo after the initial application of DevelopRAW all subsequent tools that are added are no longer being applied to a raw file. That ship has sailed. You're now editing 16bit data just as if it were a Tiff.

    Hi Anthony, nice edit. Any idea why I don't see either auto distortion corrections or auto chromatic abberations - I only see auto defringe and according to Neo and running latest version 1.13.0 - EDIT: in cast anyone else wondering I did another google search, it might be only visible in RAW not dng etc.
