Speaking of subtle applications of the effects there is an option down there at the bottom of the working panel that allows you to change how much of the effect you want to use. On the contrary with Templates and the AI technology that is built-in to it, it appears that each image that I feed in is analyzed based on a database of similar images that is already in the application.Īnd this is where I think the AI part is so strong because it applies the effect of the template based on the elements in the picture.Įach time I feed in a different image and use the same template I find the effects are subtly modified based on the composition and the elements in the image. It does not replace the sky in your photos but merely adjusts it for better.Īlso, what I have found when editing a few pictures is that this is unlike presets (in Lightroom) where regardless of the composition and the elements in the picture a preset would still dial in the same effects as it would do with any other photo that you feed in. Note this is not the same effect as the Sky Replacement tool we discussed previously. What it does is it takes the sky colors and applies this series of changes that magically pops the color, saturation, and brightness of the sky (and along with that makes several changes to the whole of the image). If you are familiar with a few other photo editing software, you will probably identify this feature as Presets. This is where you can change the sky and do other cool stuff. In Luminar AI you have this feature called Templates. The amount of refinement that how gone into the software can be seen in the amount of intricate detail that you can now see in your edited photos.Ī skyline with a replaced sky can take ages to perfect in Photoshop.īut now thanks to Luminar AI all it takes is a couple of seconds and the results are way better than what you can achieve if you attempt at doing this manually. In Luminar AI the Sky Replacement tool has been improved quite a lot. Previously the sky options were only named and there was no way to know exactly which is which until you have applied the effect (replaced the sky).īut now the editing panel as thumbnails so you can see exactly what the sky texture and color is before you apply the effect. It is one of the reasons Luminar became so popular among photographers (and photo editors).īut in the AI version, offers some choices based on the scene that you shot. Now, as I mentioned above, Luminar already did have this sky replacement feature before. But if you are a professional and need the effect to add that much-needed wow effect to your professional photos it is no longer cheating but a professional need. If you are a purist, someone like me, you would say well that’s cheating. ![]() In just a few seconds you can completely change the look of your image. It gives you a bunch of sky images that you can use to replace the plain dull sky in your photos. Sky Replacement is one of the coolest tools in Luminar. ![]() So, there are no surprises when we look at that first up. Sky Replacement in Luminar AI is the main feature (it has been for a while). So, yes, Luminar did replace the sky before but it is a lot more convincing now.Īlso, it is a lot faster with a whole lot of new features and therefore your entire batch of photos can be processed quicker. Have you ever wondered if someone could magically transform the boring sky in your photos or and batch process all the images where the sky is boring to speed things up?įor those of you in the know, Luminar already did that.īut what’s special about Luminar AI is that now artificial intelligence can detect the kind of scene that you are trying to transform and therefore suggest you a bunch of options to choose from. Lightroom will remain my primary editing tool.Įither way, that is just my opinion and you need to try out these awesome platform yourself to see if it suits your needs better than the alternatives. So, I will be interested in using Luminar as my second tool. ![]() Much of it is possible in Lightroom, which happens to be my go-to tool for all photo edits.īut Luminar throws some interesting options for me and of course it makes things considerably faster now for my kind of edits. Notwithstanding, if you ask me if I will prefer Luminar to Photoshop my answer will be skewed towards Luminar because I want a smaller learning curve to making my edits and even then my edits are simpler.
