    I love this function and use it often. Have also found that doing a single image HDR merge is a great option to use in the editing process.

    • @CleverPhotographer

      I completely agree, Tim! I use it often too. Especially on low-light captures.

      Hi Rory, it's bit tricky for me to say without seeing the photo or the edit. If you want, you can send it to me directly at jakub@borsphoto.com, and I will have a look.

    Luminar is literally killing the game. I never wanted to start with photoshop and with Luminar, I don't think i will need photoshop anymore.

    Thank you for your excellent tutorial. Is it possible to export images from Lightroom directly to the HDR Plugin in Neo, and then return the processed image to Lightroom?

    • @CleverPhotographer
      @CleverPhotographer  Рік тому

      Hi Martin, it's a feature they are working on, but at this moment, you can only export one photo at a time to Luminar NEO from Lightroom, so, therefore, it is not possible right now. Folders have a workaround for this, but it requires a more complex setting. We will try to do a video on this soon.

    Great tutorial! However I wonder if I launch Luminar Neo as a plug-in from Adobe Lightroom, I have "Presets" and "Edit" tabs (well translated from Swedish which I am using), but not "Catalogue": How can I invoke the HDR when launching Luminar Neo from Lightroom? I currently launch Aurora HDR this way from Lightroom, but would like to try Luminar Neo (yes Adobe Lightroom has HDR merge built-in but the Skylum products are much faster to achieve certian looks). Any suggestion?

    • @CleverPhotographer

      Hi Roger, thank you for your question. You are not the first to ask this, so I should probably make a video about this 👍 I asked this question on our last conference call with Skylum. At the moment, the Luminar plugin is only able to move one file between the applications, so there is no access to HDR Merge there. It is something they want to introduce, and they are working on it, but it may take a little bit of time.

    Another good video.
    I have 2 seats for Luminar Neo and also have 5 seats for Aurora HDR 2019.
    Strangely, HDR Merge works on my laptop, but not on my tower (which is the computer that I use the most).
    On my tower, no HDR Merge folder is created and creating my own does nothing.
    I've been back and forth with Skylum for 4 or 5 days now, trying what they suggest and still it doesn't work.
    Very frustrating.
    Looks like sticking to On1 photo Raw 2022 for now.
    The hdr function is working perfectly on that :)
    Both my computers are windows based machines, with decent gpus....

      It's been sorted.

    Do photos have to be in raw format to use extensions?

    • @CleverPhotographer
      @CleverPhotographer  Рік тому

      Hi, Alan. Thank you for your question. No, they don't have to be in RAW format. They can be in any file format supported by Luminar NEO. However, following the idea of blending as much information as possible, the result with JPEG or other lossy formats will not give you the best result.

    Hi! Thanx for the great tutorials! Quick question (should know by now): I own a Neo subscription and I understand I'm entitled to the HDR extension for free. How do I get the activation code? Many thanx!!!

      Hi, yes you should have it with subscription. Just click on the little puzzle icon on top left corner of Luminar NEO and install it from there.

    Hi, This lesson is show how powerful about HRD. But I want to know something.
    1) Can I use a single photo in HDR Merge?
    2) How can I install a single photo to "HRD Merge"?

    • @CleverPhotographer
      @CleverPhotographer  2 роки тому +1

      Ho John, thank you for your message. Yes, you can use a single photo in HDR Merge. All you need to do is to drop it on the tool in the Catalog module and then press the "Merge" button.

    I just bought your Powerbundle in order to get your HDR presets and have no idea how to unzip it (if that is necessary indeed) and then how to add the presets to Luminar Neo. Do you have an instruction video for that, PLEASE, thanks! I also did not receive an email from you confirming my purchase.

      Hi Beat, there is a full library of tutorials on each of the assets including the presets. Just login and see how to use them. For the confirmation email, please check your spam folder. For the zip format please follow this tutorial: www.google.com/amp/s/www.wikihow.com/Unzip-a-File%3famp=1
