Want to take your photo editing to the next level? I've created a comprehensive training course to take you zero to hero, from the fundamentals all the way to advanced level editing in 18 hours of organized training plus raw files to practice on. You can check it out here ➡ bit.ly/NeoMastery 😃
10:19 there is still an issue with the dark background is that it affects your perception of the brightness of your picture leading underexpose your image. I wished we could set the background to a neutral gray like in other photo editing software.
Luminar has come a long way. 👍What I like most about the past updates was the much enhanced speed and stability, I found workarounds for almost all other issues. This seems like a really great update, I hope those speed and stability goodies are not sacrificed! Thank you Anthony for your great video, and , yes… „Luminosity Masks“! 😁🙏
Eventually, some really good news also to those of us who happen to have purchased Neo & extensions outright and refuse to comply with Skylum's obvious desire to convert us to subscription customers! Thank you for your time and effort Anthony, and yes of course; bring the Luminosity mask video on .. 😉
@@hepgeoff Me too. I have purchased a couple of Skylum imaging products since 2018 but being a retired photographer, to spend monthly for some thing I simply don't have as much use for as the price involved, I am hoping that this update is offered to those of us that purchased NEO before it was actually available a couple years ago. I will view AT's review but Jim Nix did not say if it is free to early NEO purchasers but I hope that AT clarified this. Early AM here but will look at the review in a few minutes and hopefully fall asleep thrilled. TIA AT Well I did finally see all of the video and unless both my eyesight and my hearing has gone south, there is no mention of what purchase option is affected by the update. Would hope that maybe Skylum can comment to help folks know unless we simply have to wait until the 24/5 tp see what happens when we either boot up NEO or check for updates. Why did not all the water become selected in the waterfall image? Also why were not all the items with dark shadows not become selected. However, I find that when selected the building does not work so well to my eye. I also would be interested to see what a single image HDR would produce of the same image file. Any part of the result could also be adjusted with masking and remove are adjust some areas of the image adjustment.
This is a new version of Luminar Neo (v1.19) dropping for general release on 25th April (sorry I didn't say in the original recording!). It's a free update if you already own Neo. If you don't have it yet Skylum are currently running a "Spring sale" with up to 83% savings here: bit.ly/Luminar-NEO and code ATNEO10 will save you another 10%! (why the speech marks around "Spring Sale", because it's Autumn for those of us living in the Southern Hemisphere)
Thanks. Nice updates to the masking. Have there been any improvements to the other extensions (apart from HDR) which are generally far slower than competition options and some (noise reduction) perform poorly in comparisons as well?
OMG finally subject masking! Im one of those that does pretty much everything with local masks, while also getting way into detail with the brush tool. This "small" additon alone will probably decrease my editing time by half. Luminosity mask looks interesting, but i didnt really used it in Lightroom before.
Thanks for the review Anthony, this is a most impressive update for sure! I'm sure glad I subscribed to Neo. I could never understand luminosity masking in Photoshop--it just seems like black magic voodoo. But in Neo, it's easily understandable! I would really like to see more videos on harnessing the power of luminosity masks. About the only part of the update that I _don't_ like is their rebranding. I like their old logo way more than the generic "asterisk" logo.
These look like great updates. However, my version is 1.18.2 (12917). When will it be available? I notice someone else commented their version is 1.18.3. Do Luminar roll out different versions at different times in different arts of the world? Thank you for all your excellent tuition Andy...........Please , more Luminosity Masking videos😄
Hi mate, in my efforts to condense all of this update into one video I managed to ommit a very important piece of information. Release date! It's due on 25th of April, or 26th depending on your time zone. Cheers, Anthony
@@AnthonyTurnham Thank you, I just received an email from Skylum informing me of the release date. Apologies, I called you Andy before, not Anthony.....forgot spellcheck !!
@simpix7683 - whilst I have Neo set to auto-updates, it doesn't always do so. I have to manually check every once in a while, to get the latest. Diary set for 25th!
1) the Ai enhancements/edits, are they done utilizing your computers CPU/Graphics card or are they done in the cloud or some servers outside your own Computer....2) I have IMac 5k Big Sur i7 and 32gb ram....will I be able to run this or not? Thank you!
Hi. 1) yes and no. Some AI is cpu based such as the editing toolset, whereas the generative AI is done via the cloud. 2) yes I believe so, their is a minimum specs section on their website that'd be worth a double check though.
Anthony. great VID!! one extra thing you could ask Skyrim to add is a TEXT facility !!! Adding that would save having to dip back into Adobe software!!
It's very different. They tackle HDR in a very different way. LR creates a 32bit raw dng that holds all the potential information but we still need to work the file to recover it, whereasNeo creates a 16bit tiff that already has the data processed automatically. My preference is the result from Neo, but Lightroom's version can still be very useful.
Some really great additions coming. Yes a luminosity mask vid. would be something to see to hone all of the finer points. Good video presentation, thanks.
Thanks for this excellent video, I can't wait to discover these new features! I would have liked Skylum to improve the "generative enlargement" module, which is really perfectible in terms of final rendering, and to be able to process a larger area when enlarging. I hope they'll do it soon. Thank you very much for your very didactic and to the point videos.
Would love to see your vid on Luminosity masking and please if you can interpret to PS and LR as I see a lot of editing on LT and want to be able to convert those edit instructions into LN. TIA!
I've covered a lot of things already, what is it you'd like to see in Luminar Neo that you've seen done in Photoshop or Lightroom? Perhaps I can put some example tutorials together....
Just got Capture one for my Fuji files yesterday and ended up getting Neo also today. I've used Luminar AI before and have really enjoyed it. Looking forward to using this update.
I have to say that I am looking forward to the luminosity masks and I really missed them a lot. Otherwise, I also lack the option to perform "correction of the force of action" of the given adjustment (similar to the opacity of layer coverage in photoshop - that will be the best than). Thanks so much for all you do Anthony
@@AnthonyTurnham In my case, no biggie. I only shoot with a real camera, raw files and post-processing when I'm on vacation, and sadly, it'll be a loooong time till that comes by. But it'll be sweet.
😮 …. Yes yes luminosity deep dive please ! Back in the day, Skylum had something in Luminar 4 which they referred to as luminosity mask, but it was quite limited. You kind of hit the button and you got what you got.
great presentation and upgrade. But i am disapointed, after so many years asking for that, we still don't have a brush with edge detection and re-editable radial filters (visible pins, names, handles) as we have in LRC and ON1.

Terrific job giving us this introduction, AT.
Thanks for this demo Anthony. So looking forward for this update. It will make me revisit some of my archived photos.
Luminosity masking, yes please!
that are some really pretty updates. thanks for showing Anthony
No probs Armin
Powerful additions and very useful.

When 1.19 announced, I knew this channel is where I'd go to learn about it.
These look like great updates. However, my version is 1.18.2 (12917). When will it be available?

Do Luminar roll out different versions at different times in different arts of the world?

Does neo hdr merge do a better job than lightroom classic in your opinion?
