This is an exellent walkthrough of how to use layers. Very easy to follow and very informative. The textures in particular shows that there is much more to it than just adding the texture itself. Thanks for sharing these tips and advice

Hi! Darlene. I love your tutorials . They are so easy to understand. I have a question about using a Calibrite ColorChecker Passport for White Balance and Colour correction on my photos and then applying it on Luminar Neo which I currently use. Is this possible and if so could you please explain how it's done? Thanks.

Unfortunately Luminar does not handle professional color management. You can set your monitor to the calibrated profile. That's it

I only have Iluminar on my Mac for a week. I watch your videos and they’ve been very helpful. I’ve used Lightroom for a long time and I find Iluminar is much more friendly and adaptive. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Do you have to add textures to the library one at a time?

@DigitalPhotoMentor

Excellent yes it is more user friendly. Yes as of now you need to add textures one at a time

Thank you for this tutorial. Is it possible to create a mask on one layer and copy it to another?

No unfortunately there isn't a copy and paste for masks on layers - yet. I'm hoping that add that in the next update

I took a bunch of musician photos back in the day on B&W film. Since it was available light I did a lot of fast film and push processed. Great images but very grainy. Do you have any techniques to soften or remove the grain without softening the image?

@DigitalPhotoMentor

Жыл бұрын

I would actually embrace it. Film grain is very nice and Luminar Neo even has a tool to add that effect. I would run with it and enhance it instead. But that's my personal preference. If you want to remove it try the new DeNoise extension.

Hi there--thanks for the detailed layers tutorial! Is there a layer/s that simply present a blurred effect in the background??? Thx in advance.

@DigitalPhotoMentor

No not really. You could export the image as a jpg. Then add it as a new layer and blur it, then mask the subject out. Or if it's a portrait use Portrait Bokeh AI

@@gp-vk3je You just add it as a new layer as in the video on this page. If you want it to replace the background you'll have to do that manually because the auto mask AI currently only works on humans

Dear Mrs. Darlene I have been a long time subscriber to your channel. I see the Tutorials on You Tube translated into Spanish with a Google Chrome-Speak program, since my knowledge of English is very basic. My question is: If I buy your Luminar Neo course, these would be direct and therefore, how would I translate your voice, either in Spanish or French to make my notes and apply them to my Luminar Neo in Spanish, which I have already installed. Thanks for your reply

With more, better tutorials such as this - simple, clear and concise, Neo has the possibility of becoming a real photo processing app to rival the best. More improvements and additions are required, but Skylum's on the right path. I just hope they continue with Neo and don't suddenly introduce another version, which would be a disaster. When I think Neo's 'there' I will switch over and stop using version 4.3.

Why does Luminar use rounded corners on previews and images in your library including when you're editing? It just bothers me I think they should be as is (squared).

Like your videos, but I don't always get to apply what you've taught immediately. It would be great if at the video's conclusion, or even in comments you have a checklist of the steps. That way we can take a screen grab instead of having to rewatch the whole video.
