First, congratulations on the new baby girl! What a blessing to be a girl dad. I have been using Skylum products for several years and they jut keep getting better and better. As an amateur photographer I appreciate tools that help my editing process.
Thanks Cory! It's been chaos around here, but a beautiful chaos! Stoked to hear that you're using Luminar NEO. I really think that for intermediate photographers, there's no better program out there. The abilities that it gives photographers are things that would take so much longer to learn and perfect in Lightroom and Photoshop
It's crazy how many advanced pro level features they've been able to pack into this program now! And even crazier is how fast they're adding them in there. It's cool to see a real life use case of AI beyond just having weird conversations with them on ChatGPT🤣
Congratulations David. Another great video as per! Looking forward to seeing more content. Hopefully you've got some cool trips coming up with the fam for some cool adventure videos :D
Thanks brother! And yeah man, the tools in Luminar make tasks like these so damn easy. There will always be a place for Lightroom and Photoshop at the top end of getting things perfect, but the juice to squeeze ratio is so much higher in Luminar NEO!
Wow. Just wow. I've been enjoying the AI-embeded features with Lr and Ps lately, but this is different -- as in, a whole other level different. I'm going to give this a try. Great vid, as always -- and congrats to you and the Mrs on the new baby, my friend!
Thanks Caprica! And yeah, AI is getting a little crazy what it can accomplish for us. Seeing how quickly it's advancing is the most impressive thing to me!
I’m using luminar neo for over a year now, as I bought a lifetime license. But I don’t want to pay yearly subscription on top of this to get future upgrades and the tools you have mentioned are all add-ons which cost even more on top of main license.
i bought Luminar AI to fix some skies in a portrait shoot. It's been invaluable for multiple things. And its sky replacement is so much better than the one in Photoshop. I'm very impressed. I may need to upgrade to NEO.
Totally agree Mark, I think the ease at doing tasks is where Luminar excels. If you're doing work that needs to be absolutely perfect for some giant ad campaign, I think the added features and refinement in Photoshop is worth it. But for most work, the tools in Luminar NEO make things so simple and straight forward that it's the obvious choice
OMG ... When I think of the hours and hours of work I could have saved with Luminar NEO... The AI is incredible... Congratulations on the new baby... A boy maybe? The end clip was lol. 🤠
Hahaha! Another girl Maria! Three little ladies now😮 And totally agree on Luminar NEO. If I had this earlier in my career, I could have saved hours on each project! The speed that it's doing things now breaks my brain!
I think you're absolutely right Robert. I think we'll start seeing AI work it's way into almost everything we do in the creative spaces. It's a super powerful tool to accomplish things in moments that used to take us days
Aren’t these paid extensions?... as in you need to purchase these “add ons” ???... that is why I haven’t upgraded from Luminar Ai to Neo... or have these now been added to the general layout of Neo programme?
The focus stacking is unreal good man! I've now tried it on a few other setups and it's better than the job I would do in Photoshop AND it gets it done in under a minute
@@DavidManningvlog yeah, ive done a few tests vs helicon focus and surprisingly it seems to be sharper (im no helicon focus expert). Do you know if it can bulk process stacks? I can set helicon to watch a folder and process focus stacks as they come in from a tether...
Hey Dave🙋🏻♂️
Congrats on the baby 🧚🏻♂️
Hey Abhijeet!!!

Do you know if you can bulk apply these to stack a bunch of stacks at once, or remove a bunch of backgrounds at once?
I love Luminar Neo....these new extensions are great. I am using Neo only now. I can't tell you the last time I used Lightroom lol
It's crazy how many advanced pro level features they've been able to pack into this program now! And even crazier is how fast they're adding them in there. It's cool to see a real life use case of AI beyond just having weird conversations with them on ChatGPT🤣
Big congratulations David!!
Wow this is impressive! Killer content as always David. Congrats on the new addition to the family.
Thanks Rhyan! Three kiddos is already crazy, but stoked to find our flow with them and get back to cranking out more content on here!
Congratulations David. Another great video as per! Looking forward to seeing more content. Hopefully you've got some cool trips coming up with the fam for some cool adventure videos :D
Congrats stud! I've been on the fence of trying Luminar but this really swayed me.
Thanks brother! And yeah man, the tools in Luminar make tasks like these so damn easy. There will always be a place for Lightroom and Photoshop at the top end of getting things perfect, but the juice to squeeze ratio is so much higher in Luminar NEO!
@@DavidManningvlog love the “Juice to squeeze”
Congratulations on the new baby!!! Excelent video!!! The things that AI will do is craaazy!

This is the kinda of AI I like. Crazy to see what it can do in this app. Congrats on future kiddo too.

I have a lot of very old photos,taken with not that good a camera,it is much more difficult to do than it is with recent photos,even in Luminar neo

I use (or I try to) with an M1 iMac, the edits are not responding.....shall I try to get a Windows computer?
congrats
Amazing AI. I would suspect that it will be coming to some of the major editing software, like DaVinci Resolve?
I think you're absolutely right Robert. I think we'll start seeing AI work it's way into almost everything we do in the creative spaces. It's a super powerful tool to accomplish things in moments that used to take us days
Did you shoot raw and did all the images you have edited was raw files?
My go to image editor nowadays. Easier to use than LR
Perfecto
Amazing… now if I could just get the Comment AI ti work! 😉
Hahaaa! AI is doing all sorts of things these days!
Aren’t these paid extensions?... as in you need to purchase these “add ons” ???... that is why I haven’t upgraded from Luminar Ai to Neo... or have these now been added to the general layout of Neo programme?
I believe if you use the "Subscribe Pro" option when you get Luminar Neo you get extensions and upgrades included for your year's subscription
Wow.
Perfect timing, was just looking at Luminar for focus stacking and background removal...
The focus stacking is unreal good man! I've now tried it on a few other setups and it's better than the job I would do in Photoshop AND it gets it done in under a minute

how to edit your intro sir please make one video please
And they are in a War Zone!!
mmm still not as good as doing it properly in photoshop, like the AI noise looked bad and that mountain sharpening was awful
Thanks for the tips. Sad to see your daughter drinking chocolate milk as easy as it is to placate our kids with sugar.
