  • Luminar 4 to the rescue

    I manages to get a shot of 3 juvenile Pacific Gulls roosting high up on a light fitting at Sawtells Inlet (Tooradin) today. While shooting birds roosting up high from ground level is not my favourite POV I didn't know if they would be coming down any time soon so I took several shots. It was just a monotonous grey sky so I thought it would be a good chance to see what Lumoinar 4 could do to rescue the image
    Any C & C would be appreciated.

    #1 The 3 Amigos. As you can see by the "deposits" it is a favourite resting place to survey the surrounds.

    #2 Luminar to the rescue. I had to do a bit of masking work as the blue bled through where there was white in the birds.

    It does a good job John, could save a lot of time. Did you use any sliders to help fix the bleeds? Did you use your own sky or a Luminar image? While you were doing yours, I was having a play as well so I'll put them in a new thread later.

    My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

      I used one of the Luminar skies. I didn't play around with the slider, just did the mask as we discussed. It was just a quick experiment as I thought the original image would be a suitable subject to play with.

      Thanks John. Using the extra adjustment sliders and the mask really does give the program some power.

    Makes it a much better image.

    than a full frontal lobotomy.
