BIG NEWS! Skylum has just launched a summer sale where you can save a massive 81% off Luminar Neo here bit.ly/NeoSale But the cool thing is in addition to that they've given me a coupon code to share with you so you get to save ANOTHER 20% (use code AFF-T5C1C0 ) I really hope that helps you out! It should work for both the perpetual licence and the subscription too. Enjoy😄 Best wishes, Anthony

Personal circumstances have meant I've been overseas and away from my KZfaq videos for a while. Thanks for your patience 🙏 It's good to be back 😀

Priorities, man! I hope you brought back some beautiful shots of your dad.

Hey, I love you brother. I'm 38 years old, I make content and help people grow their channels and I just wanted to say I love you and I get what you are going through with no words required. My dad is a smoker and an amazing person and he is an alcoholic and going away soon. I just can't imagine the world without him but, It is the natural way of the world. Not sad or bad in any way but definitely hard in moments and can take some getting used to. That aside, great video, great edit. I bought Laminar a while back but never used it and now NEO is a thing. I just feel annoyed that I bought their program and then they dumped it and started this other one NEO and charged again for it as well. I wish they would just merge them into one license. I really like how it shows red and blue to show over and under-exposed. Great work brother. All the best and can't want for the next one.

Anthony great to have you back, I feel for you I live in Australia and had the same situation with my Dad 6 years ago having to go back to the UK.

My goto guy for anything Luminar Neo content

Love love love the cloud tip.

Good to see you back. Looking forward to seeing a photo or two from Wales

Ah! It looks like Lindisfarne in Northumberland. I have never been there, but I recognise it as a well photographed location! 😻 Regards from Felix the Cat. 🐱

Thanks for getting back to me, found my Sky tool, keep up the great work.👍

I don't know how you do it, but every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new! It's wonderful. Thank you.

Thanks for all the wonderful work that you put into your videos. God bless you and your family and I wish you all the very best.

Hey man... God bless you for doing this video in the midst of you and your fathers situation. Seriously, thank you.

So glad you got to spend time with your dad. Thanks for sharing with us. ❤🙏🏻Jane

So incredible!

Wonderful video, as always. Thank you. Sorry about your Dad. You are a gifted teacher and I always learn something every video I watch. Thank you and I hope the best for your family.

This is the second tutorial Luminar should add to their website. After watching your video tutorials, I decided to purchase Neo. Thank you so much for posting these videos!

Sorry about your dad man. Glad you got to take time

Bravo!

Excellent informative tutorial ! I have learned a lot from this. Thank you.

Excellent video and explanation

Thanks for another excellent session Anthony, glad that you were able to spend time with your Father, best regards

G'day Anthony All our best to you and your. Another bonzza video mate. Wouldn't it be quicker and more adjustable if you added a layer over the sky and used A.I masking and layers adjustment, and maybe some brush masking, to reduce the brightness of the clouds? Greg 👍

Appreciate this in depth tutorial to deepen my knowledge and skills within Luminar Neo!

Excellent tutorial Anthony--I love the resulting image. That's exactly how I would envision the final results. I like how you recap all your edits at the end, that helps cement the learning process. And like you, I'm finding myself moving away from Lightroom to Neo for all of my creative edits.

Thank you so much for your videos. I have been telling myself that photo editing was for people who didn't know how to take good pictures for many years, but the truth is I didn't know how to proceed. With Luminar and your precious lessons I can now really express myself with my photos and it made me change my mind completely.

Thanks for yet another masterclass in editing. It's great to hear your thoughts on what you do and why you do it. You really make your photos sing with Luminar!

Love your tutorials, Anthony, and I'm learning so much from you. Keep up the fantastic work you do.

Thank you for yet again another great edit! Really inspiring for my landscape work!👍 Wishing you the best of luck and great strength💪

Blessings to you and your family, thanks for sharing a bit of your personal life as I so enjoy your tutorials. You seem like such a decent sort. And your editing skills are high level. I am grateful you share them!

Another masterpiece video. Keep up the good work. You're a blessing to photography.

Anthony, what a great tutorial. I sure learned a lot. All the best to you and your family.

Anthony, thanks for your great tutorial which is very helpful for me as always. Great respect for your work under these circumstances. Best wishes for you and your family.

Great really appreciated this!

Prayers for you and your family, brother. Great snapshot of the castle and video!

Thanks for this video work through Anthony transforming the image. Good to see your return and all the best to you and your family.

Amazing :)

Great edit thanks for the great tips . I would play with the skies make different photos

Thanks!

Another enjoyable edit of a nice image. Never did get to the UK in our time of being able to travel. Personally, I found that the bottom of the image was still a bit too bright which brought the eye to an area where not much was there to capture the eye but did draw the eye rather than allowing the eye to quickly be drawn to the castle. Just a thought. Now for what I really liked but with a couple of ideas. At 0:48 the female portrait. Concept is excellent and the body positioning, split light, 2/3 facial view, arm positioning all made this a wonderful image and something any of your viewers who want to learn portrait image creation can get a lot of good info from. On my part, let me mention a couple of ideas and hopefully get some others responses. One consideration is to straighten the image as it appears to slope upward from L to R. Secondly, while the objects on the table can add interest, a couple of thoughts. First is the layout which is straight across the composition. Perhaps consider placing the structure of the three items in a diagonal from lower L to upper R and putting the small lower L item a bit forward and then moving the vase to the mid point perhaps having some of the plant items covering the light colored vertical in the background. Because the cup & saucer are light and brighter than the mask of the subject's head, the color and tone could be adjusted so that the eye does not go the the c & s when one wants to have the eye directed to the subject much the way was done in the edit of that castle. When complete the items on the table now offer a mirroring of the arms and the body of the subject. I am also thinking that with the slight re-arranging of the table items that the image could be cropped a bit tighter. Now that one is looking toward the background and not the subject, much like was done with the sky of the tutorial edit, so here could the background be toned down on both the highlight side and the shadow side so that the eye remains with the subject and not the strong visual presented by the background but keep in mind that there needs to be kept the ratio of highlight to shadow based upon the direction of light in the image. With the change of the crop, the new vignette will contain the eye nicely to the subject. That vignette will also help to tone down the brightness of the knee of the subject. AT offers the squint method of viewing the image to see areas that may need adjustment to keep the eye upon the subject of the photo. A couple of other methods that work well include closing your eyes and opening them quickly and just seeing where your attention goes. If not to the subject see what can be done to adjust the image as AT has done with the sky (keep in mind the amount of adjustment is often "to taste"). Another method is to rotate the image 180 degrees so you view the image upside down and determine if what you see first is what you want the viewer to see. Hopefully there are a few ideas here that can be of value as AT does wonderful images of architecture, landscapes and portraits and provides all of us with a plethora of great info making use of the NEO editor.

Thanks for all your help with these videos Anthony, hope you can point me in right direction with this small issue. I have no sky replacement filter in the Creative dropdown box, all other filters are there but no Sky, i saw a video where someone said i could find it in favorites but i have no favorites box either. Can you point me in the right direction. Thanks again for your great work with these videos.

Hi Anthony, thank you for the video! 👍🏼 How did you get your X-T4 color profile into Luminar Neo? 😳

Love your tutorials. Can you please tell me whether to use structure or detail or when to use both on wildlife. Thoughts s to you and your father,

Good job, but I would have cropped or cloned out the finger post and person on the wall on the right-hand edge. And that horizon looks a degree or so tilted to my eyes...

Hi Anthony. How is your father now? We missed your videos! Regards from Felix the Cat! 🐱

Thank you Anthony, excellent tuition! I have one question! I had watch your video on the release of Neo, and wandered if Skylum have now put the erase tool into the product? I have been using Luminar 4 and AI of late and starting to feel the need to to upgrade to Neo, or Lightroom - which would you recommend. Regards Alan PS have now subscribed to your channel 👍

Oh by the way Anthony! Since you have been away, Luminar Neo has launched a fantastic new extension called 'Magic Light'. It's great for creating night effect scenes, why not produce a video on using this new extension? Regards from Felix the Cat. 😺

Thank you Anthony, I hope all goes well for you and your family. One question please, how do I apply lens correction profiles to my images? I'm at a loss to apply these. Apart from that, another great video.

My sincere condolences....🙏

Ill wait as long as it takes for your videos - your father is more important (i know from personal experience) I dont know his state, but i hope for the best! As for your video, you did it again. Reinstating that Luminar Neo CAN be used for something. I lost my faith in them after buying their add-ons and finding them more or less inadequate - especially their noise reduction. but as i said, you rekindled my interest a bit again So, if i dont want to fill my harddrives with huge TIFF files, how would you recommend to get the result from here, into my main tool ON1? An even broader question; You as a pro-photographer, how would you use those two programs in conjunction for the best workflow? regards - and the best possible wishes

I hope everything is okay in England? You sounded a bit worrying. Very refined edit though

Thanks again. Sorry about you Dad 🙏🙏 Quick question. I struggle with cloning tool usin my. Wacom pen. Any hints ?

real men dont cry
