When used as a standalone, Luminar relies on your standard folder structure and there\u2019s no need to import images, you can just open one to start editing. However, it can be helpful to import a folder of images as this enables you to scroll through your shots to select the ones you want to work on.<\/p>\n<p>There are two main views in Luminar 4, the Library and the Edit view. The Library is the browser section while the Edit view gives access to all the adjustment controls.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136034 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-library.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 library\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-library.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-library.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-library.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>The Library<\/h3>\n<p>To import images into Luminar 4\u2019s Library, click on the + in the top left corner of the screen and select the pictures to work on in the normal way. The Library has a column on the right that shows the file organisation structure while thumbnails of images are everywhere to the left of that. Clicking on the \u2018Library\u2019 button at the top right of the screen hides and reveals the organisation column. Clicking on the \u2018Info\u2019 button reveals essential image data. As well as the structure of the folders that you\u2019ve imported into Luminar 4, the Library organises the images by date, so you can quickly locate images captured on a specific day just by clicking on the relevant folder. There are also icons to reveal the images you most recently added or edited in Luminar. Clicking on the heart that appears in the bottom right corner of images as you hover over them in the Library adds them to the Favourites folder.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible to create virtual albums of images simply by selecting them in the Library and clicking on the + next to \u2018Albums\u2019 in the folder structure. Just select and drag additional images to the album to add them.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Get the essentials right<\/h3>\n<p>The Essentials section gives control of exposure, white balance and colour. There are also \u2018AI Accent\u2019 and \u2018AI Structure\u2019 controls that assess the image and allow you to determine the degree of adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can also take control yourself with exposure and white balance adjustments (and a white balance dropper tool) plus the curves control that\u2019s revealed by hitting the \u2018Advanced Settings\u2019 option in the Light panel. The latter lets you manipulate the exposure and contrast. The Color panel also gives control over the Saturation and Vibrance, and there\u2019s a slider for removing a colour cast. Hit the \u2018Advanced Settings\u2019 to control the Hue, Saturation and Luminance of eight colour channels independently.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136030&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136030\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-black-and-white.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 black and white\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-black-and-white.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-black-and-white.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-black-and-white.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-black-and-white.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Impressive black &amp; white conversions are just a few clicks away.

Next, click on the \u2018Convert to B&amp;W\u2019 button to switch the image to monochrome. Now use the sliding controls to adjust the Luminance of each of the six colour channels.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136032 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-edit.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 edit\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-edit.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-edit.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-edit.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>Edit<\/h3>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve selected an image that you want to adjust, click on the \u2018Edit\u2019 button in the top right corner of the screen to open it in the Edit area. This arranges thumbnails of your images in a column to the left of a larger preview of the selected shot.<\/p>\n<p>At the top of the screen there\u2019s a bar with a small collection of tools including a zoom control to magnify the image and a crop tool that lets you level the horizon as well as adjust the composition of the image. There\u2019s also an icon to reveal the Luminar \u2018Looks\u2019 and buttons to switch between the single image and gallery view.<\/p>\n<p>The Editing panel sits over on the right side of the screen. The controls are arranged by category: \u2018Layers\u2019, \u2018Canvas\u2019, \u2018Essentials\u2019, \u2018Creative\u2019, \u2018Portrait\u2019, \u2018Pro\u2019 and \u2018Legacy\u2019. Clicking on the appropriate icon reveals the tools in the adjacent column. There\u2019s also a clock icon that reveals the editing history. The Layer control lets you combine images, adjustments and textures, use blending modes and apply masks.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136033 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-get-the-look.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 get the look\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-get-the-look.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-get-the-look.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-get-the-look.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>Get the look<\/h3>\n<p>When the \u2018Looks\u2019 option is activated, Luminar shows a series of thumbnail previews under the main image. These are the one-click treatments that can be applied to your image.<\/p>\n<p>By default the Essentials collection is displayed, but if you click on the up arrow next to the word \u2018Essentials\u2019, you\u2019ll find more. This area also enables you to download more from the Skylum website. Just click on a preview you like the look of to apply the preset to your image. You then have the option to reduce the strength of the effect. The Looks are also a good starting point for making further adjustments using the controls in the edit panel.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136036&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136036\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-portraits.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 portraits\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-portraits.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-portraits.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-portraits.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The AI within Luminar 4 has a number of modes specifically designed to enhance portraits<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Perfect portraits<\/h3>\n<p>High-resolution cameras can be very harsh on portrait subjects but the AI within Luminar 4 can help create portraits that everyone is happy with. The first step after opening a portrait image is to click on the Portrait icon in the Edit Panel. Next, select the \u2018AI Skin Enhancer\u2019. Putting a tick in the \u2018AI Skin Defects Removal\u2019 box has instant impact, subtly removing blemishes. Then gradually slide the \u2018AI Skin Enhance\u2019 control to the right. Stop before the skin becomes plastic-looking. If you want to do a little more work, expand the \u2018Portrait Enhancer\u2019 panel and try using some of the controls there, but the first two steps are often enough.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_136037&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136037\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-sky-replacement.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 sky replacement\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-sky-replacement.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-sky-replacement.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-sky-replacement.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-sky-replacement.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Luminar&#8217;s AI Sky Replacement tool can add a more dramatic sky to an image. Credit: Angela Nicholson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Replace a sky<\/h3>\n<p>Clear blue and dull, grey skies often lack impact but Luminar 4 can help with that by making it easy to put in a new sky using the \u2018AI Sky Replacement\u2019 tool in the Creative control panel. There\u2019s a selection of skies available for selection, but you can add your own if you like.<\/p>\n<p>The AI Sky Replacement tool can automatically detect the subject and horizon so the sky is replaced in seconds, but occasionally some objects, such as the white lighthouse in this scene, can confuse it. If this happens, use the Edit Mask control, which is a feature of all the adjustment controls, to create a mask and paint in where you want the sky to appear. You can then replace the sky in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[collection name=&#8221;medium&#8221;]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136031 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-clean-image.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 clean image\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-clean-image.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-clean-image.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-clean-image.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\n<h3>Clean up the image<\/h3>\n<p>Luminar 4 has two tools in the Canvas category that can help you deal with sensor spots or annoying distractions in your shot. The first and easiest to use is the \u2018Erase\u2019 tool. When this is selected you just need to zoom into your shot and paint over the offending object. Luminar automatically clones out the object. It\u2019s perfect for getting rid of small marks and objects against plain backgrounds. However, if the scene is more complex, it\u2019s often better to use the \u2018Clone and Stamp\u2019 tool. This allows you to select the area that you want to use to paint over the object by holding down the Alt or Option key as you click. You can then paint over the object.<\/p>\n<p>It can be helpful to reduce the opacity of the brush and to move the sample area occasionally as you paint over the object.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Access the plug-in<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re editing an image in Adobe Photoshop you can access Luminar by selecting Filter &gt; Skylum Software &gt; Luminar 4. Similarly in Lightroom, select Photo &gt; Edit In &gt; Luminar 4 or right-click on the image and select Edit In &gt; Luminar 4.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136040 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-Adjustment_Layers.jpg\" alt=\"Luminar 4 Adjustment Layers\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-Adjustment_Layers.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-Adjustment_Layers.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2020\/03\/Luminar-4-Adjustment_Layers.jpg?resize=562,316 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Use Adjustment Layers<\/h3>\n<p>One of the great features of Luminar 4 is that you can apply adjustments as Adjustment Layers. That gives you scope to use different blend modes and to tweak the opacity of each layer to get exactly what you want. To create an Adjustment Layer, click on the Layers button at the top of the Edit panel, then click on the + and select \u2018Add New Adjustment Layer\u2019. Now make the adjustment you want, such as adding a curve to boost contrast, or making a black &amp; white conversion. Next, click on the Layer button again to see the Layers panel. You can change the blend mode or use the sliding control to reduce the Layer opacity. If you create multiple Adjustment Layers you can adjust their impact to your taste. It\u2019s helpful to name your Adjustment Layers so you know what each one controls. To do this, click on the three dots in the top right corner of the layer\u2019s control panel and select \u2018Rename Layer\u2019.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Buying Luminar 4<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/skylum.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skylum.com<\/a><br \/>\nPerpetual license for up to two computers: \u00a381.
