Photographer's Guide to Luminar AI,The cover

Skylum's Luminar AI is a great solution for both professional and amateur photographers who want to quickly create stunning photos. Luminar's advanced AI-based tools eliminate hours of traditional editing tasks, whether you're applying automatic tone and colour adjustments, replacing dreary skies with more dynamic ones, or retouching portraits to smooth skin, remove blemishes, and accentuate flattering facial features.

For those who want to dig into editing, powerful tools give you full control over your RAW and JPEG images, including advanced features such as masks, blend modes, and lens correction. Luminar AI also works as a plug-in for other applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Apple Photos, allowing round-trip editing and seamless integration with workflows you may already have in place.

In this book you'll learn all about:

AI editing: Luminar AI's many AI-based tools eliminate hours of traditional editing tasks. Improve overall tone and color using just one slider, and enhance a sky using another without building masks or layers. Realistically replace the entire sky in one step, even when objects like buildings or trees intrude. Luminar identifies faces in photos, allowing you to smooth skin, sharpen eyes, brighten faces, and perform other portrait retouching tasks in minutes.

Expert editing: Take advantage of Luminar's many professional tools to bring out the best versions of your photos. Enhance the look using tone controls and curves, dodging and burning, and tools built for specific types of images, such as Landscape Enhancer, Adjustable Gradient, and B & W Conversion. The Erase and Clone & Stamp tools make it easy to remove unexpected objects and glitches such as lens dust spots. Luminar's RAW editing engine includes real-time noise reduction and advanced color processing and sharpening tools, all completely non-destructive and with the ability to step back through the history of edits.

Advanced editing: Use masks, blend modes, and lens corrections to combine edits and effects.

Creativity: Open your imagination with Luminar's creative tools, which range from adding glow, texture, and dramatic looks to incorporating sunrays and objects into augmented skies.

Presets and LUTs (Lookup Tables): Learn how to use Luminar Looks presets and LUTs to bring the look of simulated film stocks and creative colour grades to your work.
