LUMINAR NEO UPDATE 1.0.6

Luminar Neo update 1.0.6 was released today! NOW INCLUDED…the long-anticipated Mask AI feature!

Mask AI
The major feature of this update is the long-anticipated Mask AI technology. The powerful neural network behind Mask AI detects up to 9 separate elements in a photo: people, skies, architecture, transportation, water, flora, mountains, natural ground, and artificial ground.

What’s more impressive, is that you can automatically mask the desired area with just one click of a button. The AI will find the desired area and mask it up for you, without needing to spend time fussing over the details with a masking brush.

After applying a tool to the masked area, you can easily copy and paste the adjustments to other images, and the mask will apply adjustments only to the same masked area of the other image – be it a sky, a building, a person, and so on.

On top of that, you can enjoy the manual Gradient and Radial masks. Plus, the new interface makes it easier and more enjoyable to work with masking.

Histogram
The histogram is a tool that can be a great help while correcting colors or adjusting exposure, and we’re happy to announce that the Histogram is now available for all your images. A histogram is a graphical representation of the tonal values of your image. In other words, it shows the number of tones of a particular brightness found in your photograph, ranging from black (0% brightness) to white (100% brightness). It’s a great tool that will help you produce well-balanced images.

Now you can press the J hotkey to toggle clipping indicators on and off and see clipped pixels.

Of course, if you already own Neo, this is a FREE update!
If you haven’t joined the party yet, grab special pricing (with a bonus gift)
and added sales on Luminar X Membership and Aurora HDR.

CREATING YOUR OWN TEXTURES COURSE

If you haven’t joined the party, jump on in!! The course is self-paced, and you may download the videos as well as all of the PDF instructions to use at any time.

Module 4 was released the first week of May; Module 5 will be out this coming week, and Module 6 before the end of May. Modules 7, 8 & 9 are planned to be released in June. We already have Module 10 for Resources. AND…also included are several group chats – we’ve had one so far and there will be a couple more as modules are rolled out. It was recorded and added to the Resource module for those who could not attend “live”.

And…in the future if I add new material or update any material in the course, you will also be able to access that, all for the same low price (I already have some new ideas and techniques I want to add to the early modules)!

Exciting News for the Summer Conference Replays!

I’ve purchased a Business Subscription to Vimeo and will be hosting the replays of the sessions there. This should alleviate issues that people had with finding the specific session they want to watch (as they will be individually loaded). I think this will also help with playback issues that a few people had.

Sessions will still be password protected and available only for those who purchased a seat in the Virtual Creative Photography Conference. They will be available for 60 days to watch your favorite sessions again or watch any that you missed live.

Tutorial Thursday March 18

A day late, but some cool tutorials for you today! I just found this article on CreativeBloq with “66 Brilliant Photoshop Tutorials to Try”. It has tutorials for Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced! When you start reading the article you’ll see a drop-down that looks like this:

If you click on it you can choose Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced Tutorials. I took a quick look through each list and I think you’ll find some helpful things in each level, no matter your current skill set! Enjoy!

WEBSITE UPDATED!

This has been in the works for a while, but it’s finally done (mostly, anyway!). Please visit the new and improved MeredithImages.com and “poke around” and let me know what you think. I have a few more things I want to do – like make categories in the store for textures by style; update my gallery; etc., but everything is working and I like the clean new look and colors.

LUMINAR AI UPDATED!

Woo hoo! The promised updates are ready!! I’m SO excited about these updates – Sky REFLECTIONS; the ability for TEXTURE OVERLAYS; and more! This is a FREE upgrade if you already own Luminar AI!

SKY REFLECTIONS! Amazing!!

Here is part of the Skylum press release with all the details:

Improved Sky^AI with reflections and more
Skylum created the world’s first automatic sky replacement technology. Now, building on this legacy, we’ve listened to feedback from creators in the Luminar community and delivered a faster, more robust experience in the next generation of our Sky^AI tool. Under the hood, our enhanced AI engine ingeniously creates new possibilities.

Sky reflections in water: This much-anticipated update means there’s no more worrying about sky replacement in photos featuring water! Ocean, river, lake, pool, it does not matter, Luminar^AI will automatically reflect the new sky in the body of water in the most realistic way.  The new sky automatically conforms to the angle and depth of the scene to produce incredible results down to the smallest details.

Scene relighting: Sky^AI now provides realistic scene relighting by eliminating strong color casts from the sky on foreground objects. Improvements to these tools provide discrete control over the amount and saturation of relighting enhancements. The new Relight Human control can dramatically improve environmental portraits by matching people to the new sky for a more realistic effect.

Seamless sky orientation: One of the toughest challenges in traditional editors is cleanly aligning a new sky to the original horizon. New controls for Rotation and Horizontal Offset join existing controls that allow new skies to be flipped, rotated and positioned for a perfect fit. Easier sky selection: Quickly browse and select new skies with a new visual interface from the Sky^AI panel. We’ve added six new free skies with this release and made it easier to add your own skies or add new sky packs.

AND THAT’S NOT ALL…..KEEP READING!!

Transformable Texture Overlays
With Update 2, Local Masking adds amazing new creative abilities. The Texture tool now offers advanced controls to transform texture and image overlays. 

PNG Overlays: PNG files with transparency can now be uploaded as textures in Luminar^AI. These files can then be used to add special effects to photos, including watermarks, text, emoticons, and other decorative elements.                                                                                                                                                                       

Easy placement: New overlay elements can be easily moved, flipped, rotated, resized and placed anywhere you want. There’s even blending modes and masks to precisely control how the object interacts with the original image.

Overlays in Templates: Once applied, an overlay can be synced across multiple images or saved in a custom template for future re-use.

PLUS…

Improved Templates Experience: Easier access; easier browsing; marketplace integration

Improved Camera Support: new cameras and file formats supported.

AND…

A 40% off sale on add-ons!
Use my affiliate link HERE
and save on additional skies, templates and Luminar X Membership!
