It works as follows: If Luminar can detect a sky, a mask is made to protect the rest of the image. The mask works good, but there are problems with the effect. I have tried different settings, and below follows my opinion.
First I opened a RAW file in Photoshop and made minor ajustments before opening in Luminar.
The filter effect is 40%. The highligts are 235 of 255.
The filter effect is 100%. The highligts are 220 of 255.
Watch the images.
The intention with the filter is to make a correction without masking the rest of the image. And that’s good, but it must be possible not to darken the highlights. I guess, an update is near.
I have contacted Skylum and told them my opinion, and they agree.
