[@darrenletley8399]

Good tip and worth remembering that multiple instances of tools can be applied so a small amount of global Accent AI could be applied plus some additional localised Accent where necessary.

[@JimNix]

yes absolutely, apply to various spots in varying amounts works for sure!

[@BenelliMr]

finally you rediscover Luminar as it all started: Luminar is Enhance and Enhance is Luminar; this makes Luminar unique. Luminosity mask brings it one step further

[@JimNix]

thanks and yes it works so well together!

[@johncameron6853]

I think the luminosity mask is going to be the most used tool in Neo's arsenal. Thank you Jim👍😎

[@JimNix]

I think so too John, thanks for watching!

[@jackhill8246]

...great tip Jim! Definitely one for the memory bank :)

[@JimNix]

thank you!

[@RonaldBrown59]

Those luminosity masks can be very useful. Thanks for another great tutorial video.

[@JimNix]

thanks for watching Ron!

[@hepgeoff]

Great tip, Jim! I love having the Luminosity in Neo.

[@JimNix]

thanks Geoff and I love it too!

[@gregorychard]

G'day Jim
This is an absolutely fantastic tip!
I'm sure this will help me in my new edits, but most importantly, I can do this trick on some of my favourite old edits to make them better.
Keep your tricks coming, mate!😊
Greg

[@JimNix]

thanks much Greg!

[@johndwilliams]

Another great tip that has me using Neo more and more.

[@JimNix]

awesome, have fun and thanks!

[@stephencrane3180]

Brilliant trick - extremely useful. Thanks

[@JimNix]

thank you!

[@Lysander-Spooner]

Great tip. Luminosity masks are so useful.

[@JimNix]

thanks and yes they are!

[@davidchandler4788]

Great way to control Enhance! Have fun in Madeira.

[@JimNix]

thanks Dave!

[@behramcooper3691]

Great video, Jim. Thanks.

[@JimNix]

thank you!

[@uncle0eric]

The improvements in masking have definitely led to me using LN much more recently.

[@JimNix]

glad to hear it, and thanks!

[@msgskhan]

Excellent tip, will give it a go.

[@JimNix]

thanks!

[@TC_Conner]

Goodf stuff Jim! Skylum has done a great job with this major update!

[@JimNix]

thanks TC!

[@marcrjacobs]

Great tip, Jim; I never thought of using a luminosity mask to control Accent AI. This is way easier the the brush and various other masks I have used to control that thing.

[@JimNix]

thanks Marc and yes it's a power combo for sure!

[@kenalexander8714]

Thanks Jim for this great tip.

[@JimNix]

thanks Ken!

[@jean-francoisdamon4847]

Merci JIM pour ces excellents conseils.

[@JimNix]

thanks so much!

[@SanPedro22]

A big help. Thanks.

[@JimNix]

thanks!

[@shvydkyi]

Wow cool!

[@JimNix]

thanks!

[@tonybozza9862]

With all these tools at one’s fingertips is there still a place for using Curves ?

[@JimNix]

For sure, Curves is super powerful, but it's a bit harder to get good at compared to other things and isn't used much by a lot of people.

[@paulbarnard5267]

5 minutes and 12 seconds before you finally mentioned the slider by name. What a waste of peoples time.

[@billblair7804]

Hmm, relook at 55 seconds ? He did leave us hanging for a while before getting to the key hint of luminosity mask.

[@JimNix]

I mention it at 55 seconds (Accent AI) and talk about using it with luminosity masking at 1:53. But you don't have to watch.
