Luminar 4 Review 2022 |  Best Lightroom Alternative in 2022

Lumina 4 is already carving its niche in the photo-editing software of the saturated universe. Skylum, the most recent production of Lumina 4, is full of general editing tools that are ideal for photographers who want to simplify the process of editing their photographs. If you want to spend time in front of a PC, it can be fierce competition. Inside this Luminar 4 review, we will take a closer look at what this software actually enables.

There’s a lot of talk about photography circles versus lightroom and I believe the Luminar 4 will probably shoot more lightroom users. Any loose lining edge of the Luminar 3 becomes tidy, attracting a more secure and attractive editor to work with; Feels fresh. For the first time, I’m really enjoying using any photo editor.

Luminar 4 Review Introduction:

 

A complete redesign of the Lumina 4, the future version 4 software has powerful AI tools that speed up the editing process. UI is easy to use and fresh with a few notable speed enhancements. Still, Luminaire’s library and export windows are missing in all features.

 

Updated to Luminar 4, Luminar 3?

 

Luminar 4 has its own standalone software. This is a completely new look from the Luminar show and this is not a free update for Luminar 3. If you already have Luminar 3, you can switch to Luminae 4 instead.

Photo editing with artificial intelligence:

 

I will admit that I was skeptical when I first learned about the new Luminar 4 and how they added several tools using Artificial Intelligence (AI). By skill, automation and photo-editing rarely go together very nicely. Luminar 4 proved me wrong. Quite wrong.

AI edits are found in previous Luminar variants but they didn’t blow my mind even after they did exactly what they promised. This is no longer true. Automation is here.

AI Sky replacement:

 

The biggest feature of the Luminar 4 is that it is a new fresh AI Sky replacement. This tool has proven to me that automation and post-processing can work above all else.

 

This is certainly not a tool for everyone. To this degree sky replacement and photo, manipulation is an interesting topic and there are lots of strong opinions about it. Personally, replacing heaven is somewhat beyond my comfort zone.

As outside photographers, we rely heavily on weather conditions, and sadly, they don’t necessarily play for us. Revisiting this particular place may not be a choice, so replacing the sky can be an option to show off something outside of your trip.

Fixing the sky is annoyingly easy with AI mode. Yes, it actually bothers me how easy it is; Basically because I understand how time-consuming it is to perform it manually.

Ways to use the AI Sky replacement tool

Fixing the sky at Luminar 4 is fairly straightforward. In reality, it’s so easy that all you have to do is pick the sky from your drop-down list, and then voila! It is done.

Here’s a quick preview of how to replace the sky in a few moments:

Here’s how you can use the AI Sky Replacement tool to see what you can see in the movie above:

Choose the image you want and open it in the edit module (top bar)

Select the Creative tab in the right panel

Select your favorite sky from the drop-down menu

Note that the sky replacement will not be perfect every single time and requires some tweets for the girl along with other sliders. I found that it worked best if there was a large comparison between the landscape and the sky, but let’s take a look at a more complex technique:

Image above is not easy to earn the right mask. It’s not impossible but when I was getting it manually in Photoshop it took a long time to create a mask around the branches as well as along the hills and along the tree lines.

Using the AI Sky replacement tool takes less than 30 seconds. I just chose the sky I needed and made two quick changes to the Close Two and Reel Scene slider to produce the mix seamlessly.

Another neat function of using all AI Sky replacement tools is your choice of adding sky. I got a feeling that we were going to find a lot of skies available, thus adding your own would be a big step towards creating a more unique image.

The only limitation of using the sky replacement tool is the inability to replace the sky in reflection; Either it is in the water or towards any construction.

AI construction:

Another new and notable feature of the Luminar 4 is the AI construction; It automatically defines items in your photos and enhances clarity and detail internationally instead. It can be considered a more intelligent pool slider.
