LUMINAR 4 REVIEW REDDIT UPGRADE
Like I said it is barely an upgrade from Luminar 4. Speaking of skies, it comes with the EXACT same skies and sky objects as Luminar 4 with no new additions.
LUMINAR 4 REVIEW REDDIT FULL
The benefit to the subscription? More templates and skies! Hence why it comes with hand full of templates for a few types of images. Skylum is heavily pushing a subscription model for this software. Also there aren’t as many as this article leads you on to believe. I realize they’re supposed to be starting points but they’re not inspiring. The “templates”, presets, are way over done. Granted it’s something I’d never use on a portrait anyway. The new body slimming slider is meh at best. I really hope I don’t see any images using it because it looks cartoonishly fake. The new change iris colour slider is just awful. The new “improved” fog slider somewhat had a more layered effect but you’re better off using overlays in photoshop. Sure they changed the interface but the sliders are identical to 4, the only difference being some name changes and that histogram can only be thrown on top an image as a transparent overlay, making it useless. It’s a minor upgrade from Luminar 4 at best. Fortunately, it still comes with a Lightroom and Photoshop plugin. At the same time, it is stripped from many features like ratings in the photo library and the more sophisticated post-processing options like layers, and blending options. It feels like a step backwards instead of forwards. Landscape photographers and portrait photographers are provided with many tools to adjust or manipulate an image, with the help of Artificial Intelligence.īesides the new Templates function, it is surprising how Luminar AI resembles Luminar 4. There are no additions for importing or exporting images, and the print function is unchanged. It is relying very heavily on the Artificial Intelligence functions, mostly by suggesting Templates based on the image itself. Skylum made this very clear from the beginning. Luminar AI is a completely different program, built from the ground up.
Also blending options are not present in Luminar AI My Thoughts About Luminar AI After Extensive Use The use of layers is not possible anymore. The Looks you might have bought for Luminar 4 won’t work in Luminar AI.Īpplying local adjustments can be done withe the Local Masking tab. Fortunately, Luminar AI comes with a whole bunch of built-in Templates, many of them with inspiring names.
These presets are now called Templates instead of Looks, and you can buy as many as you like on the website. With Luminar AI the post-processing is directed towards the recognition of the photo, and then you use one of the presets that Luminar will advise. The Differences Between Luminar 4 and Luminar AI I learned about all the functionalities, and discovered to my surprise how some great functions are completely removed from the program. Even so, using two different programs to manage your photos is often far from ideal.īut how different is Luminar AI exactly? Is it adding enough extra functionality compared to Luminar 4? About one week before its official release I started recording a new Dutch video tutorial about working with Luminar AI. Although the program will keep on working, it is difficult to say how it will evolve after that moment in time. But the support for Luminar 4 seems to end in about one year as of this writing. You could keep both programs of course, and use Luminar AI only for the newer images. Luminar AI has removed all rating possibilities. If you have been using Luminar 4 to manage, and edit your photos, you have to import, and process every single image all over again. It is not possible to migrate your old catalog. Luminar AI turns out to be a completely different program compared to Luminar 4, in a very strange way. Although I’m happy about using Lightroom Classic, I knew Luminar AI could be a possible replacement for those who don’t like the subscription model by Adobe.
LUMINAR 4 REVIEW REDDIT PROFESSIONAL
The program could use a more adult photo library, and options that would allow for a professional workflow. With the announcement of Luminar AI, I hoped it to be a huge step forward. Luminar AI Is Not an Upgrade, It Is Something Completely Different It does lack the possibility to perform this batch-wise, but in those days it was quicker compared to manually masking the sky in Photoshop. This way I could replace the skies of my real-estate photos in an easy way. Luminar 4 offers the use of star ratings and color ratings.įortunately, Luminar 4 comes with a Lightroom and Photoshop plugin.
