Lee, Thanks so much for this video., very informative. The colors and res are amazing. You mentioned single point for AF being the best option. Besides the diff in AF speed compared to the 100s, did you find the colors in Classic Neg any different, or for that matter the colors in general? Thanks again.
It’s not going to be for everyone. But I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Always used it on a couple client jobs and it saved me quite a lot of time
Lightroom does not yet have profiles for the iPhone 16s, hence the poor RAW image quality. Looks at the same images in Apple’s Photo app, and the quality is much better. Lenses on phones need massive lens correction to look good, or even acceptable in some cases.
My opinion is that as long as they keep pushing hard on sharpening images from the iPhone, it will never look professional straight out of the camera. There are a lot of ways to fix it, but why not just fix it already in the software? The iPhone has the potential to take photos with a film look, by the way, like the Fuji X100, etc. I remember the iPhone 5 had an artistic look that has faded away over the years.
As long as you shoot raw it looks amazing. It’s when you don’t that it starts looking like a phone again. Oversharpen, over HDR, if you zoom in it looks over processed to remove noise etc
You are magician of camera because i saw your video of Google pixel 6 pro you showed that it's not always camera it's about how you take pictures we should learn taking pictures at least normal knowledge because youtubers take pictures without knowing anything and then they blam smartphone
But WHY does the Samsung always add this blue/green soft thing to all pictures. I have the Samsung and I dont like the pictures. The Sony is 10x better because it shows you what is there and not fake add on filters and colors. Or at least give us the option to shut it off
Hey Lee ) Didn't get a chance to watch this yet but looking forward to viewing it shortly. They sent me an email about this earlier today. When I click on the link under your video it brings me right back to this page. Hmmm.
I would recommend getting iPhone 14 or 15 I still love as today the only difference about 16 is camera control in u can shoot 4k 120fps but still have same features like others iPhones
What I like is that you are a damn good photographer doing a review. A lot of the time the reviewers are not very good at photography. Nice job. Well done.
I agree, it does take a lot of extra time. That was something I brought up when trying the original demo. I don’t know what goes into programming something like that so I can’t say if it’s possible or not but as Ai advances I’m sure it will eventually be able to do it
As an owner of Luminar Neo, Seems like it covers 80~90% of what Aperty does. Aside from the AI blemish slider-- are there any other key feature that justifies me paying for Aperty?
Neo is a completely different engine and this is getting a lot more refinement tools Neo won’t have. Neo was never really designed for portrait retouching it was mostly designed for landscapes and people. If portraits are your thing this will do a much better job especially when you get a chance to see how natural the skin texture looks. Now if you love sky replacement and all those features maybe Neo is doing a good enough job for your portraits you don’t need Aperty?
@@LeeZavitz I found with Neo it allowed me to use the same studio depth relight feature as well as things like eye and lips/teeth ai enhance tools. Without a Trial it's really hard to see or know the difference. The Aperty tool blemish removal tool for acne removal looks brilliant, but if it's the only feature so far that sets it apart... it kind hard to justify. I currently use other ai plugins (like Retouch4me) for non destructive dodge and burning-- but for quick jobs Aperty does seem great. Gosh wish there was a demo/trial build.
I hear you. Neo does have a bunch of those features. There’s other stuff I didn’t show in terms of face reshaping as well as giving a better demo of body skin retouching. It’s more dialed in for portraits but I can see how some people would be mad that Neo didn’t have all of this. I guess that’s the issue with some people getting mad and I understand that. But I never bought Neo for retouching I bought it for the ai sky replacement and overall relighting for landscapes
@@LeeZavitz Well since you have Neo, would be cool if you could please do a portrait retouch using neo using similar features/tool to show off the new engine and compare the results between the two to showcase the new engine and exclusive aperty features? Thanks Lee!
As someone that spends a lot of money on credits using EVOTO to retouch video, this looks promising! When are they planning to release? I haven't seen anything on batch exporting / processing.
Anyone who preorders will have access Oct.31. For batch processing it’s not automated right now. So as I showed in the video you would have to copy and paste your settings across all the images and then export. But it does do batch exporting I just didn’t show it!
Depends on if you do this for a living. I agree it would be steep if it’s a hobby. But if this saves you a lot of time editing client shoots it’s well worth it imo.
@@-_ch40s_ hehe I have never paid full price they normally offer an upgrade price + if you do not upgrade they always keep the software updated without new features thats correct. But I rather have the choice of lifetime than a never ending subscription that you will never own the product.
@@-_ch40s_ On one hand that's better than having to pay a subscription every year but on the other hand, it means they need to do that to ensure a steady revenue.
If something I have learnt on this years working with Skylum and Luminar is that support has been great, performance for me at least was great, did upload a video too no cuts
Ohh good call. Like face tattoos or just tattoos in general on body? I’ll actually give that a try. I haven’t shot with many people that have face tats but lots with full sleeves.
@@LeeZavitz I would say tattoos in general - anywhere. Several of the tools will think its a body blemish and take it out. Or they think its a shadow maybe and try to blend it. I see it a lot on the text in the tattoos.
