You can see in the image above that things were naturally enhanced, not overdone. Many presets seem a bit overdone to me, even backed off. What I really like about this particular looks pack is that it’s easy to get a natural look in an image. It comes with a variety of options, from landscape enhancers to portrait looks. You don’t have to be a SmugMug user to really enjoy this collection of presets. That being said, let’s get to the Looks themselves, starting with 5 of Skylum’s free Luminar presets and followed by a few premium ones. Luminar 3 presets will still work in Luminar 4, it just may be trickier to find the individual filters for fine-tuning. This makes a difference some of the time since some of the filters present in Luminar 3 were either consolidated with others or renamed in Luminar 4. As a result, there aren’t quite as many presets made specifically for it as there are for Luminar 3.
Keep in mind, though the latest version of Luminar – Luminar 4 – is still relatively new. Luminar has a built-in sophisticated masking system, so it will blend the edges of your brush strokes for a natural look.These 10 sets of Luminar Looks are some of the most versatile offered through Skylum’s marketplace. Once I had set up the strength and size of my brush, I simply brushed over the areas on the image that needed lightening. The shadow sides of the buildings in this image could do with lightening up. Each photo is different, so while some may need a lot of adjusting, others only need a light touch. If that’s not enough, I will then move it up by stages until I have the perfect strength for that image. I always move the Strength slider down to between five and ten percent to start with. The strength option is set at 50 percent by default, but I find that’s too strong, and can make your adjustments look unnatural. You can adjust the size of your brush tip by changing the slider under Size, but there’s a handy keyboard shortcut by using the bracket ( ) keys to make your brush larger or smaller.
The Size and Strength options are to control the brush.
Erase will rub out the changed areas, which is great if you make a mistake, and Reset will completely undo all of the painting you have done up to that point. Lighten and darken will give you a brush that will lighten or darken the parts of your image that you paint on. You can change from one to the other just by clicking the buttons.
