Skylum Software's Luminar 4

in #photography5 years ago

I've been experimenting with Luminar 4 over the last few days... It needs some refinement and some speed improvements, but I'm fairly impressed with it.

I'll do a post with my full thoughts on it soon!

Hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

It certainly does what it says on the tin. Not sure it's the kind of effect that I'd go for though, colours look totally unrealistic. Be interested to see the originals vs the processed images in the next post of yours.

Yeah, the software does have a tendency to well and truly overcook the photos. I'm not sold on it yet.

How does it compare Aurora HDR? I use the presets on that for my Urbex stuff.

I don't really shoot HDR, so I've not used Aurora HDR, if I need to combine exposures I use Lightroom or do it manually in Photoshop.

At first sight certainly impressive. But from my point of view the pictures move too far away from nature. So a little bit too much of a good thing. Image editing yes, but as much as necessary and as little as possible.

Wow magical shot. Congrats dear.
