The solution is to open the Layers panel and, create a new Adjustment Layer and then apply the Look to that. But I need to do this without affecting or replacing the filter I’ve used already. The image still looks a little lackluster and I want to apply on of Luminar’s ‘ Looks‘. There is one more thing I want to do, though. All I have to do then is click the Place Object button in the panel and move the planet the too the place I want it, and drag on the corner handles to change its size.Īll the masking and blending is taken care of by the AI Augmented Sky filter, but just in case something’s not quite right – for example, if the clouds covering the planet weren’t quite visible enough – you can modify the mask manually with Luminar’s regular Brush, Radial Mask and Gradient Mask tools.Īnd that is, actually, it. Many of these are perfectly ordinary terrestrial objects like mountains, clouds and birds, so this feature can be used for regular photography too – depending on how you feel about inserting objects into images that weren’t actually there.įor this image I’ve chosen a deliberately made-up scene by choosing Planet 3 from the list (it’s actually an image of a double planet). You’ll find the AI Augmented Sky filter in the Creative workspace and it has a drop-down menu which I’ve pulled out and highlighted in red in the screenshot above to show the available objects. It was shot from up close with an ultra-wide lens to exaggerate the converging vertical effect and emphasise the sky. You need the right sort of foreground for a treatment like this to be credible, so I chose this shot I took of the futuristic Hallgrímskirkja Cathedral in Reykjavík. I was a sci-fi nut in my early years, though, so this was a chance to create a sci-fi themed image. You don’t have to choose sci-fi elements like giant planets. All you have to do is choose an object to add and decide where to put it. The AI technology merges these objects with your sky so seamlessly and subtly that you might never need to tweak a single slider. The AI Augmented Sky filter in Luminar 4.2 is spectacularly effective at blending in all sorts of other-worldly objects into regular outdoor skies, even supplying a range of ready-made objects like these twin planets via a drop-down menu.
