Five great tips for using Templates
Luminar AI Templates are easy to use despite the amazing effects they provide to images at the touch of a button. Using them is so simple that you really cannot go wrong.
Whether you’re an editing beginner or an expert with years of experience, Luminar AI will revolutionise your editing workflow, saving time and making the overall process easy and fun. Here are five tips that will help you get the best out of Luminar AI’s workflow, using Templates as a high-quality starting point for editing your shots.
1 \Use Favorites for fast effects
If you regularly use the same Templates, you can save them as Favorites by clicking on the heart next to the name. You can access Favorites in the My Collection panel.
2 Control Templates with Masks
Within the Edit tab, you can mask in a specific area where the Template affects images using a Paint Mask, a Radial Mask or a Gradient Mask.
3 Zoom in to check finer details
To zoom into an image at 100% so you can see how a template is affecting the finer details, click on the image in the main image window. A second click zooms you back.
4 Edit first to reveal detail
While Templates offer a fantastic starting point for editing quickly in Luminar AI, for some images it’s worth applying a few basic edits first to reveal detail.
5 Export your images
Once a template and manual adjustments have been applied, these will be stored in the Catalog. To ultimately apply effects to an image, you’ll need to export it using the easy-to-use Export tab.
