Thank you so much for this review series, Nick. Greatly appreciated. Juggling multiple balls at the same time its often hard to get into researching different software options for processing. This was a big help and introduced me to one I had not heard of. Thanks!!
Okay nice...maybe I do need to move over from TKActions panel. I relish the idea of a simpler interface along with some of those controls. I was far from really getting good at TKActions luminosity masks so maybe I move over now and get my hours in there instead of completing my training in TK. Thanks for the video, Nick! Been wondering if I should try Greg's Lumenzia. Perfect timing! -Aaron
I've been working on creating my own luminosity actions (mostly as a learning function) but have arrived at the point where I believe that one of these programs is clearly the simpler path. Looks like Lumenzia may be the one. Thank you for the reviews of the three Nick. Cheers from a fellow NWer!
Hi Nick! I'd just like to know if any of the cons you've mentioned in this review have been solved in the new versions of Lumenzia, especially regarding those web export features you've asked for at the end of the video. Thanks!
Very good series, TK panels only charges for updates when he brings out a complete new version. But we have already had two free updates to TKV5 since release.
Hi Nick thanks for all the videos and entertainment. I see you’ve done extensive reviews on the various luminosity panels etc - I’m starting to look Just wondering if you had any recommendations on the latest on TK7 v Lumenzia v 8 or any others . Thanks
I personally us Lumenzia for the majority of my workflow.. its more compact and sleek.. and does what I need it to do without cluttering up my workspace.. I still use TK for sharpening and a few other bits and pieces though
The space saving "pro" doesn't hold much water imo. Most people have had their main layout set for years and won't want to change it (I know I won't). In the main panel area, vertical space is a premium needed for layers, etc. So it will end up exactly where you have the other two; to the left of the main panel area, in its own column. The extra horizontal space being taken up doesn't bother me because I use a 21:9 ultrawide monitor. Highly recommended. Great review, as usual.
Try ADP Panel Pro as well. It is simple and small like this one. One reason it is small is there is simply one dark and lights button. Levels pops up each time and you manually choose your selection. Has tabs to essentially hide less used items (frequency separation, ortons etc.)
In addition, tons of free videos, customizable buttons, updates for life, and things you say this one is "missing" for you (web sharpening, resizing, convert to srgb)
Nick, good videos recently covering the major luminosity panels. You forgot to mention one of Lumenzia's main advantages. It is not channel based. It builds luminosity masks based on curves and levels. This makes it efficient and does increase your file size that much. I use Lumenzia primarily but also use Raya Pro for some of its one click features. I also use TKActions panel for the export feature.
I have a question to this video, you this dodge and burn layer based on a luminosity mask to change the color or boost the colortone. If you don't have the lumenzia panel, only a free panel with the normal luminosity mask is there another way to boost up the colortones of a image.
I was on the verge of diving headfirst into luminosity masks and was convinced that Lumenzia was the right choice, and today Raya Pro 3 was announced... help me out here Nick.
nick...thanks for your efforts...having used tk and lumenzia, i find adp+pro to be the best panel available today...it also as a very small footprint and aaron dowling has the most clear and in-depth tutorials avilable...those in the know use adp+pro....
mostly you can see what your doing with 50% grey layers.. but with a transparent layer you can edit what you have done on that layer with something like adobe camera raw.. to change saturation brighness or hue
Thank you for the review! May be it's just me, but your video's bass has been increased a lot to the point it's a little bit hard to listen to (voice is clear, it's just too much bass)
Nice series of reviews, thanks for all your hard work Nick!
Just purchased - really looking forward to this! Thanks to both of you :D

Hey Nick, it's been a couple years since you reviewed the 3 LM solutions. Which are you finding yourself using these days?

That which you desired, the web sharpening, etc. is now available!

recording a review of ADP right now!

Though slightly different, you should check out the Zone System Express from f64 Academy. Plus, Pallet Effects!

Thanks for the great reviews!
Whats diferent between using Transparent pixels and 50% gray pixels in Dodge and burn?
mostly you can see what your doing with 50% grey layers.. but with a transparent layer you can edit what you have done on that layer with something like adobe camera raw.. to change saturation brighness or hue
Thanks:)
Nick, it's time for an update on this. please more photoshop tutorials.
Nice, thanks!
Thank you for the review!
May be it's just me, but your video's bass has been increased a lot to the point it's a little bit hard to listen to (voice is clear, it's just too much bass)
Moon K Didn't notice the excess bass, but I am listening right now off iPad Pro speakers. Probably stepped it all back anyway.
probably it's just me then. I first thought it's my new iMac's speaker, so I switched to my old speaker and I felt the same.
