Thank you ever so much, that’s so kind of you to say. I actually tested Luminar against Photoshop and PS had a slightly better result, although I need to do the same again now Luminar’s new Sky Replacement module is out. But… If you were to do this in Luminar, you would then have to import the final image back to Photoshop & mask out the Lion to make the final adjustments. Luminar does a good job of relighting scenes, but it’s not so good if you’re relighting subjects. So, when I play with an image and need to replace the sky, I now use Photoshop since it’s more flexible after the look has been applied. I hope that makes sense ;)
Great video Steve. You deserve so much more exposure with the great content you consistently put out
That’s so lovely of you to say, and it’s so heartening to know people find this useful. Thank you ever so much!
I love this video as a wildlife photographer it’s very useful
Thank you ever so much, it’s very kind of you
Thanks Steve. Great watch!
My pleasure. I really had fun putting this one together. I hope there was plenty in there that you found useful :)
Fantastic Video, thanks for sharing
Thanks ever so much. I’m really pleased I can share a few of the tips in here.
You really have made a stunning image from the original. Can I ask why you didn’t use Luminar Ai for the sky replacement?
