3 Before and after
One of Luminar’s best features is the way the display can be
set to show Before and After views of your image, with a movable
divider. Near the centre of the top toolbar are an eye icon and a
button showing two rectangles. The eye shows you your original
image for as long as you hold it down. The two rectangles open
the Before/After divider.
4 Luminar’s layers
Lke Elements, Luminar uses layers. Each new Adjustment
Layer can have a separate effect, the layers can be blended into
one another, and you can create masks that show through the
layer below. Here, we’ve layered the Structure Booster over the AI
Auto Enhancer for a boost in feather detail, at the cost of image
noise. We can sort that out with the Denoise filter on a third layer.Jargonbuster!
