EXPERT INSIGHT SKYLUM LUMINAR

Tom Mackie uses a variety of programs to process his images, but one of his favourite packages is Skylum Luminar: “I normally shoot at roughly 15-20 locations around the world in a year, and come back with a mountain of shots that have to be processed before I head off on my next shoot. My workflow only allows me to spend about five minutes per image, and I find Luminar can be as quick and easy as you want it to be – you can go into really great detail bringing various elements out very easily thanks to its AI technology. For example, the AI Sky feature’s sliders will recognize and enhance only the sky without affecting the foreground or anything else in the image, whereas in a program like Photoshop you‘d have to first painstakingly create a mask, which takes lots of time. This powerful feature makes it very easy to accomplish a lot of work in a short amount of time.”
