A Look at the New Luminar 4 Augmented Sky Tool

Skylum Luminar 4's AI editing features have intrigued a lot of photographers, as they offer some impressive capabilities and creative edits with just a few quick clicks. This great video takes a look at the latest tool, the AI Augmented Sky tool.

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this excellent video takes a look at the new AI Augmented Sky tool in Skylum Luminar 4.2. One of Luminar 4's most intriguing features has been its AI Sky Replacement tool, which allows photographers to quickly and easily swap out the sky in a photo, a task that is normally quite a lot of tedious work. In version 4.2, Skylum took the capabilities even further, creating the AI Augmented Sky tool, which allows you to add objects like the moon or a lightning bolt to the sky. 

I have been using Luminar 4 for a few months now, and I have to say that I really enjoy it. It makes it easy to quickly try out a vast range of edits, and that has reinvigorated my creativity. It has been a lot of fun to go back through my catalog of old shots while I'm on lockdown at home. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts.

Why bother taking photos, when some great AI can replace anything with anything. Its for children and dilettants. I would regard such photos as paintings, and very bad as such too.

This was very helpful. It will beg the question down the road whether any photo is authentic, but that horse is out of the barn anyway on so many other fronts. I wonder what the industry will look like in 50 years.

Horrendous!

Do not license this product. Every single time you run this application it tells you "0 Days Remaining on your Trial" and please enter your email address and product key. This has been done at least 20 times with the same result.

If you use the plug-in for Photoshop, the exact same thing. So every single time you run this app you must re-enter your product ID and email address.

This is 2020 hire a software team that has a clue...
