The post Skylum Releases 4 Luminar Neo Extensions, Including Focus Stacking appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Jaymes Dempsey. Just yesterday, Skylum launched four new upgrades – known as “extensions” – for Luminar Neo: Background Removal AI, Upscale AI, Supersharp AI, and Focus Stacking.  The new extensions are designed to provide impressive bonus features without disrupting Luminar Neo’s core functionality. Background Removal AI, for instance, allows users to swap out backdrops while leaving the subject untouched, and while this won’t appeal to many serious photographers, it’s an easy way for content creators to spice up otherwise bland images. Upscale AI promises high-end image enlargement, useful for post-processing prior to cropping and/or printing. According to Skylum, the extension...

Perhaps one of the trickiest parts of landscape photography is that you get no control over the light or the conditions, and while paying attention to weather forecasts and planning ahead can increase your chances of getting the shots you want, things will not always work out like you had hoped or expected. That does not mean you should pack up and go home, though. This great video tutorial will show you how to tackle the wrong weather and still come home with worthwhile images.

… 82% of the photographers in a recent poll on the popular Shotkit.com site use either Lightroom (58%) or Photoshop (22%) or both for their editing. That means a whole lot of photographers use Photoshop and/or Camera Raw as their main editing tool, and to me, that is a big surprise. What are they using to organize their images? Bridge? Ugh. That all sounds about right, but the most surprising, and honestly most puzzling/frustrating/mind-boggling, is why some folks said they still won’t use Lightroom. That’s right; they don’t like paying a subscription. It’s been ten years, folks. 10 years since Adobe went to the subscription model, but some folks are still that stubborn, digging in their heels. The whole world is...

Museums offer incredible opportunities for photography; you can capture paintings, sculptures, educational displays, architecture, people interacting with exhibits, and so much more. Unfortunately, while museum photography can look great, it’s tough to get right. Due to the large crowds, reflective glass, and low light, it’s easy to come home from a museum with a batch full of blurry, muddy, distraction-filled photos. So how do you capture amazing photos at museums? Simply follow the seven tips I share below, which explain how to handle crowds, how to keep your shots sharp, how to deal with reflections on the glass, and so much...

85mm lenses with wide apertures are about as popular as can be, but they are often quite expensive as well. Thankfully, in the last few years, we have seen an influx of affordable yet impressive third-party options, with two of the most notable being the Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE II lens and Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art. Which one is right for you? This excellent video comparison takes a look at the performance and image quality of both to help you decide. [ Read More ]Original link(Originally posted by Alex Cooke)

Let me rewind the clock by a decade: it’s the tail end of 2012, and the NYPD was in the process of clearing out Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan. Over the last year, Occupy Wall Street had been picking up steam, with an encampment filling the better part of the park and protests regularly spilling out into the streets.

Last week I mentioned using the Content-Aware Remove tool to clean up the photo I was working on, so let’s take a closer look at what changed with this tool. [This article originally appeared in the November issue of Photoshop User magazine] The latest version of Lightroom Classic got a big update to the tool formerly known as the Spot Removal tool, and now known as Healing. Clicking the Healing icon in the Toolstrip below the Histogram reveals the three Modes for removing the distractions from your photograph. Two of the Modes, Heal and Clone, are functionally the same as the previous version of the Spot Removal tool. While the new Mode, Content-Aware Remove, is sure to become your new favorite,...
