Luminar ai app software#
I test the software on both a nightscape-style photo, as well as a deep-sky photo of the Orion Nebula.Īstrophotography is a completely different type of photography, and you often need to get crafty with your software to produce the results you’re looking for. In the video below, you will see some of my early results using Luminar AI for astrophotography images. Most photographers stick to subjects during the day, or at least subjects that are lit at night. When Skylum reached out to me, I wasn’t sure whether this software would even work correctly on a deep-sky astrophotography image. (I have an astrophotography image processing guide for those interested) I’m pretty comfortable with my image processing routine these days, and I’ve got a lot of experience using astrophotography stacking and processing software like DeepSkyStacker and Adobe Photoshop. The Templates work best on Nightscape-style images.
I used the ‘ Frosty‘ template to start, which can be found within the Big City Lights Collection (An unfortunately named theme for astrophotographers). In the example below, I started with an out-of-the-camera image (single exposure) and used Luminar AI for all processing. Nightscape photos with natural foreground landscapes had a much higher success rate. I found this system to be hit or miss on my astrophotography images, especially when used on an image of a deep-sky object. Luminar suggests preset filters for your image based on the type of content it reads from the data, and this is where the AI is at work. The templates system is an interesting way to completely change the feel of your image, in a very creative and fluid way. Whether you are happy with these results or not, is the question. It is a results-based software, meaning it presents you with one-click options ( templates) to instantly transform a boring image into something more. I added subtle clarity and structure to my deep-sky images using Luminar AI. The closest I have come to this experience is the filters inside of Instagram, but Luminar AI is much more in-depth.
However, it did present me with the opportunity to edit my astrophotography images in a different way than ever before. I can see how this is a pain point for photography beginners, but it is not something I personally struggle with at this stage of my career. The goal of Luminar AI is to make image editing more “fun” and less time-consuming. The creators of Luminar AI state that it is “The first image editor fully powered by artificial intelligence.” AI seems to be all the rage these days, found in image editing software such as Topaz Labs DeNoise AI and now Adobe Photoshop. I thought it was pretty cool that this company acknowledges the growing astrophotography niche and our unique needs in software. Please visit our Pack page or Combo Pack page to buy Flypaper Textures.Skylum sent me a copy of their new Luminar AI software and asked me if I would try it out on my astrophotography images. In this case, warming it up.Īfter using the Luminar App, I thought I’d make it more painterly by running it through Topaz impression 2 just 50% strength to help smooth out the image then a final painterly Flypaper Texture to finish! 🙂įlypaper Texture Brushed Rose – Overlay 100%įlypaper Brushed Rose is from the Summer Painterly Pack, it also appears in the Texture Panel Selection Pack Not only does it blend, but it also automatically changes the foreground colour to match the sky. This was my first attempt and so I was delighted with the painterly effect achieved.
