Thank you. Helpful tips presented in a concise, and understandable manner. Grateful this video doesn't run too long or have a presenter that thinks their face needs to be on the screen the whole time.
Thanks Skyler, I've used the eye replacement on people shots many times before we had portrait AI when the subject blinked at the wrong time. As for Neo's sharpening extension, thanks for the demo. The good news is Topaz has a Black Friday sale on that includes discounts on all their components including renewal of existing licenses with a full year of updates. So I renewed my 4 apps this morning. Thanks again for your honest presentations.
Nice tutorial, Skyler! Thanks! I really like your layers technique to sharpen the eye (great photos by the way). Neo seems slower to process than Topaz Sharpen AI. But it's nice to havre it in the app so you don't have to do a round trip to Topaz.
I tried the sharpening tool on a portrait with depth of field blur. The face was sharp but there was unwanted blur towards the back of the head. I chose the low setting and waited 20 minutes for the computation - an unacceptable time. The result was not sufficiently better to make the wait worthwhile. Not pleased, although I understand that Luminar is remaking the tool.
Excellent job on the eye! Very clever! Yes, you have the creativity genius! I have found NEO Supersharp AI as super bad and will never use it! Topaz is my choice. My experience with Supersharp AI shows it to be totally worthless.
I am very dissapointed what Luminar gives us with Supersharp AI. I have tested several Images and not only one is acceptable. I use primary Topaz Sharpen Ai and when i compare the pictures sharpend by both programms Luminar has many many artifacts, blurrs Essential details together and doesn't make the image sharper. For example i sharpend an Image from a Plam tree. With Topaz you can see every single Leaf. Luminar just blurred the leaves together an leaves more artifacts than Details. Terrible. I hope they fix this soon
NOTE: Skylum did NOT release the advertised extension. The one in beta demos and on their website has a picklist that includes: Motion Blur, Defocus, and Universal. They admit on their support forum that they will issue the full extension "in a future update." Again, Skylum promises something and fails to deliver. I am a paid subscriber, but they are going to lose customers by doing stuff like this.
@@dktraveller8364 Do not want money back. Skylum released of statement today saying they will release the full extension when performance issues are fixed. They will also fix advertising to avoid misleading customers.

Very well done Skyler, you're a surgeon.
Thanks Nigel. This is a technique I often use on family photos to fix closed eyes:)
Very, very clever. Love your technical advice.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful
Skvělá práce v Luminar Neo a skvěle provedený tutoriál Skyler .
I liked your alternate solution !! Thanks.

Wow! You worked some real magic on this one.
:) thanks Daniel

Hi Geoff, I totally agree with you
Great lesson. Thanks for this.

Neo's supersharp worked very well except for the artifacting . Would it be possible to retain the sharpening and erase the artifact part.
I have done that on landscape images, but never on wildlife. I will have to give it a try.
:) works great for wildlife and family photos

:) thank you my friend. This technique works magic on holiday family Photos where need to fix the closed eye problem.
Ingenious

Can you still get your money back?
