That’s when it’s time to upload your own objects. Though there is a good selection of tools available by default, you’re going to get tired of using the same ones over and over again. There you’ll learn everything you need to know about creating amazing images using this popular photo editor. I strongly recommend taking a look at my eBook ‘ A Photographer’s Guide to Luminar 4’ if you’re not familiar with how you can use layers and masks in Luminar 4. Increase its value to make the object appear more blurry and out of focus, such as in the image below (I’m by no means a composite expert but you get the gist of it) By increasing the slider value I’m able to include that dark area in the mask (while still concealing it from the iceberg).ĭefocus: Introducing a sharp and in-focus object into an image with a shallow depth of field is most likely not going to look realistic, which is why you’ve got the Defocus slider. For example, the dark part of the sky in the image above is removed from the original mask, meaning the moon (or any other object) won’t be visible there.

This slider lets you broaden or restrict the mask in order to better define where the object is shown. Mask Refinement: The AI Augmented Sky tool automatically recognizes the sky in an image and creates a mask where the object is visible. Use the ‘Place Object’ button to move, resize and rotate the objectĬlicking the Advanced Settings button reveals two more sliders: Mask Refinement and Defocus.
