Newish to editing, I didn't understand why people loved luminosity masking. I am now so excited! You've explained it so well that I see exactly why it's the one tool I desperately needed. Simple, and so incredibly effective! Thank you so much, Jim!

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

awesome, so glad this helped and glad you are excited about it!

@kgl1x 4 месяца назад

What an excellent walkthrough (as always), thnx Jim. I have been hoping for this to arrive for quite some time. Now I really hope for Skylum to continue with a tool similar to the quite new Lightroom Point Color feature, where you can target different hues. From what I have seen, that looks as a very useful tool when working on colours.

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

thanks so much and yes I am hopeful that they keep going and more tools for us, and yes Point Color is fantastic so something like that would be great!

Thank you Jim for this excellent video on the use of the new Luminosity Masks. I liked the way you spent time on clearly explaining the use of the fade controls. With this, and the other additions, I'm really looking forward to the end of the week to get my copy of the update.

Consistently thought through to the end, the only thing missing is a Color Range Mask in Luminar Neo. I'm looking forward to testing the new version myself.

@@JimNix I never considered the "feathering" of the mask and the control that gives in the transition of the colours.

I love luminosity masks. I use the Nik collection and its U-Point technology is basically a fancy luminosity mask. I also liked the luminosity masks in Luminar 3 and 4 so I'm really glad it's back in Neo. Great explanation Jim.

@Lysander-Spooner 4 месяца назад

Great tutorial. Love this new feature. One suggestion, you coukd cut the kength of this video by 5 minutes by not repeating the same point multiple times. For example, you covered mask fade very well the first time. But then you said it over and over again which, I suggest, is not necessary. Again thanks for the great content.

Heya Jim. Always look forward to your Luminar NEO posts. BTW--you may not do any real estate photo work, but if you do (or would like a new challenge), would you do a "layers-like" "Flambient (mixing ambient & flash) video using Luminar NEO. Thanks, Chuck

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

Hi Chuck and thanks but honestly I don't shoot RE (or even own lights, LOL) so I don't think I will doing anything like that

@guysingleton3908 4 месяца назад

@williamschone9358 4 месяца назад

Outstanding video once again Jim. My goodness that’s a powerful tool. Does it diminish the use of the supercontrast tool? I’m not asking that in a negative sense, but the overlaying of highlights to midtones to shadows seems to maybe be a bit mote effective with the luminosity mask tool. When it gets here I’ll of course be able to see for myself, but would like your opinion as you see it. Repeating though, that is one fine tool. This new release/update looks simply phenomenal ! Thank you & the developers at Luminar. Just outstanding.

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

thanks so much William and thus far I am still using Supercontrast bc it is so quick (no masking required) compared to having to make a mask and then adjust tones etc so I think I will keep using it, but the key thing is that with the luminosity masks you can control how each area is affected better

@RonCozby 4 месяца назад

Thanks Jim for your videos on Neo, have you shown that you can just click on the actual picture and pick a tonal range from that? Or at least I thought you could do that.

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

thanks much and no it does not have an eyedropper for this luminosity mask feature, you use the slider to define the tonal areas you want covered

@billblair7804 4 месяца назад

If we have luminosity masks, why does colour harmony have selection for highlights, midtones and shadows? Surely the luminosity mask is much more selective.

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

Color Harmony has been in Neo since it launched 2 years ago, and luminosity masking is arriving this week. Yes LM is more selective and you can adjust the tonal areas covered better with feathering etc, so it's a great addition to any tool, including Color Harmony.

@billblair7804 4 месяца назад

@JimNix don't get me wrong. Am looking forward to using luminosity masking, just can't see the point of the highlights et selection in many tools now

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

@@billblair7804 yes fair point and in Color Balance I would likely still use those sections without a mask, whereas I would use the lum mask elsewhere, but I still need to do some tests

@revjimclarke 2 месяца назад

Hi, I love your videos, and find them most helpful 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! Thanks Jim in the UK

@1ingigo2 4 месяца назад

Jim, I have Aurora HDR, Luminar AI, and Luminar Neo. I am proficient in none of these and feel abit overwhelmed. I want to be proficient in one of these and actually get a good outcome for my photos. It seems to me that Neo is the more robust app of the three? Which would you recommend and where would I get an A to Z tutorial? I use a sony a6600 if that is of import. Thanks for you vids.

@JimNix 4 месяца назад

Hi there and yes Luminar Neo is the one to go with, as it is the best overall and frankly the other two aren't being developed anymore. I also have a Beginner Guide playlist which can help you get started. ru-vid.com/group/PLye10L-yi8hU9TDtAlzGAhDEPEDOedlVD&si=2N1AmolAuWT89p0l
