    Thank you very much Darlene for this video. Wow!!! The power of Luminar Neo is infinite. I’m using since 6 months until now (the most recent with the latest update) and I love it. But, respect to you, I’m almost a beginner 😅. I will continue to follow you because there are lot of tips from you to learn. Have a good week Darlene. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😊

    Would you be so kind as to google "Will Young" his album called "let it be". I am really interested how to reproduce the photo effect on the front. I love your videos and was wondering if you might know how to do this in Luminar Neo. Thanks Jim

  • @DigitalPhotoMentor
    @DigitalPhotoMentor9 күн бұрын

    I did Google it, you mean this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_It_Go_%28Will_Young_album%29 - You first have to photograph the subject on a white background. Then duplicate the layer, lower the opacity, and move the layer to create the ghost image - you might also need to blur that layer and add a color tint. Then do it again.

    You spend more time talking about your website and you have not spoken about installing purchases sky from Skylum that you mentioned in your opening statement. I am a bit concerned about taking your course.

  • @DigitalPhotoMentor
    @DigitalPhotoMentor23 күн бұрын

    Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. I literally just mentioned my site and how to buy some from me for about 20 seconds of a nine minute video. The rest is all instructional. So yes I mentioned that you can buy skies from me but I also said "wherever you get them from let's start from the point of download". So if you bought some from Skylum you start there. Then the process is exactly the same to install them into the right place so they will show up inside the Sky AI tool. Did you watch the entire video? I tell you to download, unzip them into folders, then where to go in Luminar to find the Custom folder in which to put them. Then I showed how to organize the ones you have into subfolders. Then I talk about how to make your own skies. I suggest you watch the whole video.

    Hi, I love your videos, and find them most helpful, and I wondered if you could help. I recently took some portraits against a green screen, thinking I would replace the background in post edit. I have done everything that people say to do on youtube to remove the background, but end up with a green haze around parts of the shot. I have used transition, object and background, but will not work. I have managed to get rid of the haze by using the clone tool, but this really is not satisfactory, and I am sure there must be a better way. Any ideas.....HELP! - Thank Jim from the UK

  • @DigitalPhotoMentor
    @DigitalPhotoMentor23 күн бұрын

    Are you putting in a new background? If so just use the color tool on the people layer (the one you cut out the background on) and just lower saturation on green and mask it to around the people. Should work

    The best time in the UK is probably a Saturday or Sunday. Perhaps from 9.00 a.m. in the morning and from 6.00 p.m. in the evening. Having said that any time on a weekday evening from 7.00 p.m. may suit also. I have been watching the stream on the next day but at the moment it is too late for me to see the live version. It is always very enjoyable. Sue Pendleton (London, UK)

    I completely understand - it will be very difficult to find a time which suits everyone. I am fortunate as I am retired, but Monday to Friday for people in the UK and Europe who are working, is probably impossible. I think we will have to accept that we can see the stream the next day.
