Fantastic job. I love how we can now start with the basics in place - good subject, pose, decent (maybe even flat) lighting, background, etc. - and you just add what's needed in Luminar to get that perfect final edit. One of the best Luminar edits I've seen on YT -- and I've watched a ton!
Great video with a presentation at a perfect speed - not so fast that it goes in one ear and out the other and not so slow as to be boring! Thank you so much.
Ben, this is exceptional education! Thank you so much! Your speed and delivery of presentation are quite superb and unlike most others of any other platforms .Your cleaver use of graphics wee red arrows are of enormous help making it easy to follow. I am so glad to have found your channel! Subscribed immediately! ( of course! ). Again superb production and huge thanks!
I am loving the dramatic changes to this image and the mood and color lighting effects. I bought Luminar Neo but still learning. This tutorial is excellent to figure it out. I subscribed as well and hoping to learn more here!
Hi Ben, in the photo of the woman and lamp, in my opinion the lit back hair to the extent it is, seems unlikely given the new light source in the lamp; in a situation where there are dual light sources, if the user wanted to dim the part of the hair nearest the viewer, should they wish to, eg if it was back-lit, what options would achieve this please? Your commentary is very helpful especially the lighting of the lamp. Thanks and regards, JB
Thank you for watching the video, I never manage to achieve the editing results I aim for when doing these videos, it's likely because I do them in one take, where as when I am editing off camera, I can go back and fix issues like the one you have mentioned. Great question though and my answer right now would be probably to apply a lower exposure and a little less saturation and use a mask to paint the effect on with the brush. If done carefully and not rushed this should help in achieving the result. Also if you copy the mask you can apply it to any other tools you may need to refine the effect. It's difficult to give a comprehensive answer on here, but I hope that helps a little. Best regards Ben
Ben, wouldn't there be more light on her face from that lamp? This is a sincere question, not a sarcastic or negative one. I am asking you so I can learn something about how you see that light falling. Thanks.
If you did want more light on her face, a way to do it could be to use the brush tool and paint a mask over her face or to use the face light tool for a quick result.
