If you don’t take it too far, it can yield pretty good results straight away.ĪI Structure adjusts detail and clarity. AI Enhance and AI StructureĪs I mentioned earlier, I think the other Artificial Intelligence tools are much more refined and work better.ĪI Enhance is an all-in-one tool that analyses the image and improves the overall contrast, tone, saturation, exposure, etc. And therefore we’ll start to see a lot of images that all look the same. The other downside is that lazy photographers might only use the default library included. This is not the case with the AI Sky Replacement, even in the 4.1 update.Īnd when you use your own sky, Luminar 4 doesn’t add it to the library so you have to browse and reapply every time. And if you scroll through the library of LUTs you can see a preview as well. The filters, or “Looks”, all show a thumbnail of how the modified image will look like. So it’s hit and miss depending on your needs.Īlso, the interface of this specific tool is not great and feels rushed. I replaced the sky with something crazy so you can easily see how the reflection stays absolutely intact. Particularly if you shoot in a rather dull sky, you can turn a photo into something a lot more interesting in seconds: And yes, on paper this is quite an interesting tool. I’m sure you have seen a few YouTube videos showing how you can now replace the sky in a photo with a single click. Let’s start again with the flagship AI feature.
And in the end I sentenced that it was not worth buying. The other AI tools were actually much much better and I could see myself using them, just not this one. But I was curious to see this AI in action.ĭuring the live session I noticed quite a few flaws in the AI Sky Replacement feature, their number one selling point. I said to myself I would not buy their software again for I didn’t need it in my workflow. I had purchased the previous versions of Luminar (and AuroraHDR) but I always had mixed feelings about Skylum.
During the live, I tested first-hand with my followers all the software features. The day Luminar 4 launched I went live on my Instagram for a long 45 minutes session. And one of the most discussed features is certainly the AI Sky Replacement. Skylum went all in with the promotion of their Artificial Intelligence.
Particularly with the last milestone, version 4, their marketing campaigns have been quite aggressive in trying to build hype.
If you are remotely into photography you must have least heard of Luminar. It’s a minor update but it brings a couple interesting features and a few fixes.
