Brief Demo of Sky Replacement, Luminar 4, tip from Brian Kilpatrick
This is a demo of the Sky Replacement feature of the new Luminar 4 program.
These are older images of mine that I thought would provide an idea of what you can do with this new feature. All of the skys are some of the ones built into Luminar 4. You can also use any of your own images as “Skys”. You will find that you can use any image as a sky with interesting results, think “Altered Reality”
No adjustments were made to the images except Sky Replacement.
Original images on the left, modified with Sky Replacement on right.
