I was able to log into my Luminar website with my credentials. As one of the lucky early birds, you’re getting early access to LuminarAI. If you haven't tried it yet, the new features may make it more compelling for photographers.I received an email from Skylum today announcing: Amazing news! The wait is finally over.
LUMINAR AI WINDOWS UPDATE
If you already own LuminarAI, the free update is a no-brainer. You can also buy the update directly from Skylum here. It's out today through the app's update mechanism. LuminarAI update two is a free update for current LuminarAI users. With sky reflections in water, Skylum has given Adobe something to catch up to again. Competition is a good thing for all of us. It still doesn't have the depth of Photoshop or Lightroom, lacking things like an easy horizon-straightening tool, and the perspective fixer in Luminar doesn't match some of the dedicated plug-ins out there, but LuminarAI is still very good and getting better. In my own workflow, I find LuminarAI is often all I need to finish raw images. It's been intentionally weakened to make it more realistic, but I liked the greater range of the control in the previous version. One change I'm not thrilled with is the scene relighting command. Sky replacement is still controversial and not for everyone, but landscape photographers stuck on a shoot with a lot of clear skies, real estate photographers, and others will celebrate this latest version. I kept the refection subtle using the reflection slider. I replaced the sky, the reflection popped in automatically, and with a few adjustments, I was on my way. It was a cloudless day just before sunset, but I wanted to see what LuminarAI update two could do with this image. Here's an image I did at Watson Lake in Arizona.
LUMINAR AI WINDOWS SOFTWARE
I'm sure this was a lot of effort for the Skylum software team, but it all seems to work well. If your water has waves of ripples, the reflection takes on those surface characteristics. The smoother the water, the clearer the reflection is, as it is in real life. If I moved the sky position, I could see the reflection moving. In several tries with different images, LuminarAI was able to detect water and get the reflection right. The reflections feature seems very smart. As you move the sky, its scale increases so you don't run off the edge. Before, there was only vertical control, but now, it can be moved side to side and even rotated. I like the ability to manipulate the placement of an added sky. I was most interested in the improvements to the sky replacement feature, and here, I think Skylum hit it out of the park. The app has also added new camera support, including files from the Canon EOS R5, Canon EOS R6, EOS 850D, EOS-1D X Mark III (lossy compressed files), Fujifilm X-S10, Leica M10-R, S3, SL2-S, Nikon Z 5, Z 6 II, Z 7 II, Olympus E-M10 Mark IV, Panasonic DC-G100 / G110, DC-S5, Sony ILCE-7C (a7C), ILCE-7SM3 (a7S III) and Zeiss ZX1. There are also some improvements to local masking in the texture overlays, and the template experience has been improved, making templates easier to find. Skylum has added six new free skies with this release and made it easier to add your own skies or add new sky packs. Easier sky selection: Quickly browse and select new skies with a new visual interface from the SkyAI panel.New controls for Rotation and Horizontal Offset join existing controls that allow new skies to be flipped, rotated, and positioned for a perfect fit. Seamless sky orientation: One of the toughest challenges in traditional editors is cleanly aligning a new sky to the original horizon.The new Relight Human control can dramatically improve environmental portraits by matching people to the new sky for a more realistic effect. Improvements to these tools provide discrete control over the amount and saturation of relighting enhancements.
