Take your Black & White editing beyond the basics panel with a few simple tweaks. Play with Tone Curves, Color Channels, Vignettes and more.
Brand new to the market is Radiant Photo, created by photographers for photographers. Simple quick and powerful AI photo editing software for landscapes, portraits or anything else your heart desires. I was given a copy to try out and ran it through its paces with some portraits. So let's take a look at optimizing some faces with Radiant Photo.
Is it possible to recover sharp focus in images? When there is a more camera blur or are a softer than you would like? Try Sharpen AI.
Often when using a large aperture like f/2.8, you get a small or narrow depth of field. A small horizontal slice of the image, rather than the whole image in focus.
Getting comfortable with artificial intelligence can take a bit of getting used to. Being a Gen. Xer, we are perhaps seen (by some) as a little cynical — I mean we rode the computer generation wave to a degree. We saw the first home computer revolution, I watched as my children take to it with ease as I struggled to figure out a mouse.
I create a lot of digital art, and nothing has got me quite excited lately like Plotamorph (which is all part of Plotaverse). I can create fantastic animated before and after images that blend seamlessly and really create a fabulous amount of interest in my work.
I was recently asked to review Boris FX Optics software. I had never heard of Boris FX before — they’re mainly in the video space, making visual effects and video software, which looks pretty cool. They have been in the film industry for over 20 years.
I recently wrote a post about how I felt people were getting to hung up on noise (or grain) in their images.
Creating that soft dreamy almost hazy and ethereal look in Lightroom Classic and Luminar 4 isn’t as difficult as you might think. Sure, it is always best to capture in-camera, and I will look at a few fun ways to do that. But sometimes, we want to apply it to images AFTER the shoot, too.
DxO PhotoLab is non-destructive and makes a new DOP file with all corrections and filters, so it is really no different in that regard to Lightroom. So what does it offer? Well to start with — price. If you are just after the basics of PhotoLab, it’s only $129 (You can get Nik and PhotoLab 2 for $149.00). There’s also no Subscription.
These days taking an image with a DSLR camera is usually only half the process — the rest of the magic happens in post-processing…
So Luminar 4 has been out for a little while now, and there are some great features to really make your images pop!
This week, I am taking a look at some quick and easy portraits by batch-processing some images from a recent studio session.
