This smooths the transition between the horizon line and the sky. Otherwise, you run the risk of having your skies look like everyone else’s. Once you get familiar replacing skies, however, you’re probably going to want to load your own via the “Load Custom Sky Image” option. As mentioned before, Luminar 4 comes with a selection of sample skies to get you started. Luminar 4 provides both Standard and Advanced Controls for this. Once you’ve loaded your new sky image into the scene, you’re probably going to need to make some adjustments to make it look like it belongs there. Use this button if you need to manually mask the areas affected by the Augmented Sky tool.Use the Luminar advanced sky enhancer options to fine tune your results. You can get masking problems near the horizon, especially with hazy, poorly defined detail. You might use it if you’re shooting a close-up or with a wide aperture that throws the background out of focus. Here you’d expect both the scene and the mountains to be sharp, so we don’t need the Defocus slider. Sometimes the mask created around complex outlines isn’t quite right, but mostly Luminar does a remarkable job.

Amount controls the transparency of your object, Warmth changes its color balance, and Relight adapts it to the main image.

Your sky augmentation should blend in with the hues and tones of your image as effectively as possible. Here, the mountains needed to be resized and repositioned to fit the composition. There are no mountains behind the town of Pisa, but the building tones and the landscape are a good match.Ĭlick here to select the object you’ve added and display handles for moving it, resizing and rotating it as required to fit the scene. Choose an object for your augmented sky via this drop-down menu.
