12 PRACTICALPHOTOGRAPHY
P
RESETS ARE ONE-CLICK
actions that apply a range of
effects, styles and colours
to your images, and Luminar includes
these in the form of Looks. They can be
used as a shortcut to add your favourite
everyday filters to your shots, or to apply
a complex series of edits in an instant.
There’s a wide choice included, with
a range of Looks for specific genres built
into the software, as well as a store for
you to access hundreds more Looks
created by professional photographers,
and even creative Signature Looks
from some of Luminar’s ambassadors,
including Max Rive and Ilya Nodia.
This allows you to replicate their unique
st yle in your own work in a few clicks.
Customise your Look
Luminar makes it very easy to create
a series of filters and adjustments, and
then turn this into your very own Look.
This is a brilliant feature to use if you
have a favourite editing technique,
or even if you want to improve your
workflow with everyday adjustments.
We’re going to take a look at some of
our favourite Looks here, and then
Luminar ambassador Max Rive will
walk us through his process for creating
his unique signature Look.
ENIGMATIC
MAKING YOUR
SHOTS FLY OFF THE PAGE
Enigmatic is one of the free Looks
that comes with Luminar, and can be
found in the Dramatic Looks menu.
It adds a boost to the contrast of
the image, as well as increasing
the saturation, making it perfect
for bringing our summery hot air
balloon scene to life. It also takes
advantage of the Orton Effect
filter to add a dreamy quality that
perfectly replicates the look and
tones of a summer’s day.
