The Neo HDR merge extension is really great. I have tried multiple others and found this to be by far the best. Bare in mind this is HDR and not flambient but still you get some really great results to start editing. Gone are the days with the old over cooked HDR look unless you do final edits to make it so. However it does sometimes kick out an image of 2 which may need redoing with different exposures but for the most part it does a fantastic job.

Ok you have me interested, what's the second reason for luminar?

Hi Anthony. Thanks for making all your awesome videos over the years! I have Aurora HDR and use it for doing my real estate photos, HDR wise. I also use Lightroom and Photoshop. How does the work flow work with Aurora HDR instead of Luminar Neo? I usually edit the photos and then "export using Aurora HDR with Lightroom adjustments" pop up to get an HDR photo. Would that be the same as you did in this video but with Luminar Neo?

@archiphoto

Very similar I'm sure. It's nice that the clean HDR processing of Aurora lives on in Luminar's HDR extension.

What else? Thanks Anthony, this is great information

How did you get multiple exposure shots from HDR to blend manually like this? My Nikon D7200 blends the HDR multiples together automatically.

Always good to see your videos, keep it up! 🙋‍♂️ Btw, are you currently seeking video editors or a thumbnail designer to enhance viewers, retention, or CTR? If yes, May I send you a previous work sample?

Would be so helpful if you showed a full workflow for this from how you import to lightroom and editing at least 2 groups of photos to export. I see everyone showing how to do one set of images at a time but is there not a bulk solution for many of these steps?

Duly noted! I've taken a slight pause from the architecture work but when I get back into it, I'll try and do a more comprehensive video.

Question: In another video your workflow was: -Apply flat profile and a few adjustments to the 5 different exposures (you explained a specific preset) -HDR merging in LR -Send to PS -Lumenzia Masking - Final Merge and final touch with Nick Collection or Luminar Ai (don’t remember precisely :D Would you recommend hdr merging in Luminar Neo,then PS/Lumenzia photoshop for the Highlights and Shadows workflow? Also i am looking for the best method to streamline my workflow, Could you please make a tutorial on how to batch edit with actions for Ps/Lumenzia I am thinking at something like 1) LR Culling 2) Neo HDR merging 3) Batch import to PS with automatized Lumenzia masking 4) Manual Lumenzia Fine Adjustments 5) Nic Collection or Luminar Ai final Touch(which one you prefer?:) Thanks for your amazing videos, i am learning a lot ❤

What else? I am an old student of Trey Ratcliff and have done HDR the good old way since 2008. Nicely done tutorial. Let’s see what that next secret sauce is!

I really like your videos, thank you very much for them. The question is, what is the best way to take real estate photos? I want to achieve the best quality, speed is not in the first place. And not to use flash. The editing process itself, to get the best, what should it be?

Great video! I've been working on RS photography for a while and I always used the HDR merge method on LR; I've just subscribed to Liminar NEO (using your coupon code 😉) and I'm happily surprised by the results. The only concern I have is the time it will take to manually export every bracketed batch to NEO and then get the file back to LR, is there any way to do this more efficiently like in LR?

Hi Thierry. That's one of the issues I have with the plugin in it's current state is the lack of automation. I'm going to be speaking with the techs at Skylum though and try to get this kind of functionality prioritised in a future update. Watch this space.

What Else! It did a nice job of the interior but I am wondering how it would go on an image with a large window and an epic sea view as the image you worked on only had a very small window and even in the final image the detail in the window still looked to be blown out.

@archiphoto

4 ай бұрын

Glad you noticed. I'm hoping to do a follow up to showcase how it handles windows too. The reason the small window wasn't recovered was simply because I hadn't taken my dark exposure low enough to give the tool the correct data. If I had taken a -3ev or maybe -4ev frame I'm confident it would have been fine.

Hello, thank you for your great Video. But since the last Luminar update to version 1.19.1, I've been having an issue with your export variant from Lightroom where the HDR tone mapping no longer works properly; the shadows remain far too dark. However, if I export directly from Lightroom (where you said dont do this) to Luminar, it works with the Tone Mapping, but unfortunately, my White Balance and everything else are not carried over. Could you please check if you're experiencing the same issue? I'm desperate. Thank you very much.

@archiphoto

3 ай бұрын

Hmmm... okay. Not sure without seeing what's going on but sometimes edited tiffs such as those coming back from the Neo plugin end up in the same folder but added at the end of the thumbnail list. Another thought is that they may have been exported via the apply command in Neo plugin but hasn't been added back into the catalogue. If you right click on the folder in the library module and choose "synchronize folder..." may fix it. Another approach may be to go into Windows Explorer or Mac Finder and just search the filename + tiff extension and see if it's been sent somewhere strange - perhaps directly to the HDR merge folder the Luminar Neo app sets up. Let me know how you get on. Worst case, reach out to Skylum's support and ask? They may have a solution...

Correct @ush45

Luminar Neo has an excellent HDR merge extension. I import all my RAW images into Neo, merge and then export and open in LR to do final colour correction. I go as far a merging 3-5 images + 1 camera mounted flash image in Neo which yields a great starting point for LR editing. The only downfall of Neo is that you can only merge 1 room with multiple exposures at a time unlike Skylum Aurora where you could import an entire home and let it run its course before final edits in your preferred software. It would be great if Neo could look at reintroducing the multiple merging like Aurora did. It would be the only software that I am aware of that could do this and save editors a lot of time to work on other images/projects whilst it is doing it's thing in the back ground. Skylum have the ability and have taken a large leap forward with their HDR merge software but have also taken a large step back by not being able to merge like Aurora did. Neo has much better HDR merge than LR with better results. Even a single image using the HDR extension presents some great results for a single exposure exterior real estate photo.

i don't see the flat profile, please help me out.

If you want to give it a go but don't have Neo, you can get a discount here: bit.ly/Luminar-NEO using code ATNEO10 Also please note you'll need the subscription as that comes with all extensions including the HDR tool. Unfortunately, the standalone app doesn't include the extensions as standard.

Hmmm that is a great question. I think the HDR extension will be the best bet for the speed of edit. For ultimate control it's Lumenzia for the win. However, having both in your arsenal is a great idea. Being able to call on the two options during your workflow will give you a complete solution.

They're both good but they're different beasts. Neo is a full editor with the excellent hdr feature as an extension. Lumenzia kicks ass as a Photoshop plugin, great for exposure blending. Neither is "better" they're too different to compare.

It may not be as clean but it's certainly a lt quicker. I've had other comments on the expsure blending approach where people (maybe real estate photogs or perhaps those that just don't see the benefit in delivering higher level work to your client) where they say they'd never spend that much time on one edit.
