Winter Edit With Texture Overlays in Luminar Neo Including Two Free Textures

 Last January we had some days with snow and people were rushing out to have some fun with it before all melted away, which is often the case were I live. I took my camera and went out into the falling snow and saw some people from my neighbourhood with their kid sleighing down a small hill nearby.  Here is the finished edit of the scenery: Enjoying A Winter Day RAW - Edit in Luminar Unedited RAW Image -  I started with the Enhance AI tool.

My images used as bookcovers

Big thanks to them!

I also had the pleasure to work with Jazz musician Dhafer Youssef on his latest album. I save the story of this work for a later post.


 Comparison actual picture / book 


My pic Faked Dreamtime is the image I talked about earlier. It is also a book cover where I am actually the person in the picture.

Another one is "Smell of raisins, cones & needles"






I like that they actually added two more birds or cloned the one I had in the picture.
