If you want, and as you can see, just by moving a few sliders, we made a big difference in a short amount of time. You can also go even further and apply another layer of enhanced AI to the image. What we can also do is go to the landscape tab, and then enhance that golden hour effect using the “golden hour” slider There’s also a sky “enhancer slider”, which will really bring back those details in the Sky. This feature is called “Enhance Ai”, and you can use it to enhance the image using the “accent” slider, which will restore the details in the image and also adds some contrast. This next feature is going to be very useful for you if you are one of those people that gets overwhelmed with the number of controls and sliders in a software like Photoshop and have no idea where to start to edit an image, or if you want to simply save time.

If you want to restore an area, you can switch back to “focus” and then simply paint on top of it to fix it.

You can switch to the “defocus” mode, then use the bracket keys to control the brush size, now you can paint on top of these areas to exclude them from the mask, and you can also use the shift and bracket keys to control the softness of the brush. We can try to fix that using the “edge correction” slider, which will help the image a little bit, but what we can do now is use the brush tool to fix them. In this example, if I increase the amount of Bokeh, you will see that Luminar has missed some areas If you hover over the canvas, you will see a preview of the mask that Luminar created, and you can use the brush tool to paint on top of this mask, In Luminar Neo they introduced the layers feature, so if you close the tab of any particular feature, and then reopen it again, you will see that all the settings will be reset, that’s because it’s now moved under the “edits” section, and there you can continue making changes to the features you appliedĪnd you can also stack them on top of each other, and you even have the ability to stack multiple layers of the same effect. Quick Tip: you can toggle the before and after preview using the backslash key \ on your keyboard, and you can also control the visibility of the individual features by clicking on the eye icon. You also have the edge correction slider, which will help you fix the edges of details like hair. You can also do some changes to the background by expanding the background section, and from there, you can control the depth of the blur by decreasing the “Depth Correction” slider, and as you can see, the blur depth is now much closer to the foreground. Portrait Bokeh is a feature that’s been in Luminar Ai for quite some time, and it’s also available in Luminar Neo, you can find it under the portrait section, click on it to expand it, and then all you have to do is to increase the amount to blur the background.Īs you can see the subject was automatically masked out and the background is blurred.
