I will pile on Jim. Great tutorial. I have played it back several times to get the right sequence. Many notes in the order that worked the picture. Going back to some old pictures, recover some sky :) Thank you.
thanks for watching William and glad it has helped!
Great tutorial on fixing blown highlights using develop raw. Thanks for sharing Jim.
thank you for watching Ron!
I’ll have to try this on one (or more) of my blown out sky photos. I’m pretty amazed! 👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for watching TC!
Excellent tips Jim. Not only what you recommend doing but also showing us what not to do. Thanks!
thanks much for watching Tom!
WOW you left me Speechless!.
I'm glad you got something out of this one - thanks for watching!
Great video Jim. So many useful tools in NEO. I learn new things in every video. Thanks!
thanks for watching Craig!
Great tips! Thanks Jim.
thanks Johnny!
Jim in on1 you could have selected the sky and worked on that then copy and past sky and then invert to work on the foreground. To me this is more logistical
Hi Martin and yes I can do that in Neo too. However, in either app, I would start with Develop (Develop Raw in Neo) which does not have masking, and that is where most of my impact happens for this shot. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant video again Jim. This is such a a good explanation and solution to a common problem with photos I took some time ago. Thank you.
thanks and hope it helps!
Hi Jim, I've been following you since the early versions of Luminar, this video was a great refresher. Another approach could be to address the sky separately using a sky mask. Thanks
Hi Dan and thanks for watching. I skipped using the sky masking here bc I was working with a raw file and Develop Raw does not allow masking, and that was where most of the work came into play. Thanks!
@@JimNix I didn't know that! I thought it was always available. Perhaps it's because I mostly use Neo as a plugin, so the TIF is not considered a RAW file anymore?
@@Centauri27 yes exactly, TIF is not raw and coming from LR or somewhere else is generally a TIF although you can select to send the original raw file from LR if I remember correctly. But most folks do some basic stuff in LR first so that would not come with it if you sent a raw. Thanks.
UPDATE: I was, as you mentioned, amazed at being able to recover sky detail in one of my blown out sky images! Super good tutorial Jim! And yes, I'd be interested in a Dodge & Burn tutorial. I think I've seen one or two of your older videos where you used that tool. Thanks again! 💜😎💜
Awesome to hear that TC, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this video Jim!
thanks for watching Edwin!
Really useful and nice explanations! Thanks a lot.
thanks for watching Phil!
Beautiful! This time of year I seem to get those blown out skies and this helps alot. Thanks again.
thank you for watching!
Great video Jim
thanks so much Kevin!
Great tips. Why did you not use masking to isolate the sky? Seems that was you major concern.
Hi Lysander, good question and thanks for watching. There is no masking in Develop Raw, and I was working with a raw file. For certain edits I would use the sky mask tool but in this case I used Develop RAW to get it under control and the rest of the edits were across the entire photo. I didn't need to isolate the sky after doing my Develop Raw moves. Thanks.
Thanks Jim for this video. Some great tips and quite an amazing transformation of this image.
thank you so much for watching Ken!
Great video it will be very useful to me such a great way of thinking about methods to leverage the tools in Luminar Neo. A Master Class for this type of photo. Have thought about dropping the file as a single image into HDR first for comparison, just a thought.
thanks so much for watching and yes using a single exposure in HDR Merge can also do a great job of recovering highlights - thanks!
Awesome tips
thank you John!
Always great Jim, I will try this.
thank you for watching!
Jim, as usual, many thanks for talking us through your workflow. One thing I would say is that the sky was not blown out. You just had a base exposure that was grabbed at an optimal ETTR exposure. Your histogram doesn’t appear to have any blown out characteristics. IMHO ;-)
Yes fair point, and perhaps the wording "over exposed" would be better here. The main point is how to recover what appears to be a blown out sky. Thanks for watching and for the feedback!
Jim I guess the point I was making is that RAW images are never ‘blown out’, unless they are. All you can say is they are not processed correctly in post ;-)
Cheers
Garry
@@garrygeorge2811 ha indeed
That's the way to do it 😎👍
thanks Colin!
A nice fix by Nix.
haha nice one!
Great tips as always Jim. I like how you give recommendations on what tools to use and what to avoid. You could also have used Mask AI to isolate and work on the sky (that would have been my first thought).
Thanks much Carl and since I was using a raw file, I used Develop Raw which does not have masking, so no Mask AI then. But that lets me get at that rich raw data which had a huge impact on the final image. Thanks for watching as usual!
Well done. However, why did you not use the masking tool to isolate the edits? Hint: the tool is not very well defined and needs additional masking around the edges. Unfortunately for Neo, Lightroom does a far better job. I wish Skylum would consider improving the base product and not give us more extensions.
Hi Rich and thanks for watching. There is no masking in Develop Raw, and I was working with a raw file. For certain edits I would use the sky mask tool but in this case I used Develop RAW to get it under control and the rest of the edits were across the entire photo. Thanks.
Hi Jim, thanks for another very useful vid. I've been meaning to ask for a while, why do you use multiple instances of a tool to undo something done in an earlier one, e.g. (not necessarily exactly what happened in this edit) Reducing the highlights in instance #1, and then increasing it a bit in instance #2 - why not go back and adjust the previous edit?
Hi Brendan and thanks. Yes, I do reverse some steps later in my edits, and it is for two reasons. The first is that I edit by feel, so my process is a bit fluid and sometimes a move I make later impacts other things so I have to fix them. But the second is a bigger reason, and it is that I like to move forward, not backward, so to speak. Meaning that I usually like my edit after each step and do not like to move things that would impact it. So I use a tool again to see how it works, without impacting my current edit, and if I do not like it I can just remove the latest instance of the tool, instead of having to recall what settings I had on the first instance of it. Hope that makes sense and thanks.
What about using a mask for the sky and the inverse?
Hi Jim. I had this issue with a picture of a Grizzly Bear with blown out (over exposed) highlights on the bear. Being relatively new to editing, I was having trouble fixing the photo until I just figured I would run it through HDR merge. What an improvement but I think the structure takes a hit. I would like to see you run the photo in this video through HDR merge and then edit it from there. Or would you even consider this approach? Really enjoy your channel.
Thanks much James and yes I am a big fan of running single exposures through HDR Merge in Luminar Neo. I do it quite often, and as you indicate, the results can be excellent. In this case, I just wanted to address how I would do it using the standard tools in Neo. I have not tried it with this image but I suspect it would help tame that sky a bit, as HDR Merge is quite good at getting the light to balance. Thanks for watching.
Jim to you and your followers--Lumimar Neo is taking a long time to export files. One file may take up to a minute to export as a jpeg. Trying to export multiple files can take hours, but usually, no files are exported. Lightroom does not have that problem.
Hi Ron and please make sure you also tell their support team about this, if you haven't already. I too feel it could be quicker. Thanks.
Buyer Beware!! If your camera is not supported by Luminar, your files may not work even with Adobe converter. Q2M was released 2 years, still not supported.
This does not reflect the excellent work by Mr. Nix.
Thanks for the kind words about my work, and if you haven't already please make sure their support team hears about the need to add this or any other camera. Thanks for watching.
@@JimNix Have contacted them a dozen times but to no avail. Hopefully this information will circumvent future disappointment for others.
@@gordw6402 ok sorry to hear that but thanks for letting me know
I loved the video as usual great stuff. I have a request. I noticed lately moody brown some what underexposed photography is all in rage and no one seems to care about HDRs. Wonder whether you can teach us how to achieve moody brown underexposed editing ideally suited for street photography. Thanks in advance.
Hi Pappu and thanks. Can you share a link of a photo that has this style to it? I have something in mind but wanted to make sure I understand specifically what you are talking about. Interestingly enough, I was about to work on some presets for street photography so this particular look would fit in well with that idea. Thanks.
@@JimNix I already replied to this twice with links etc. But I do not see my replies here. I am wondering what is happening. Did you receive anything at all from me?
@@pappumurthy9462 I have not seen anything, just this most recent comment. You can also email me a link: jim at jim nix dot com if you prefer. Thanks.
@@JimNix just sent you the email.
@@pappumurthy9462 got it thanks. I like that look too, great for street shots. I need to play around with it, but it looks like he is desaturating all the cool tones, and amping up the warm ones. Split toning in the warm tones possibly. I will see what I can come up with. Thanks for sharing!
