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. I set the Accent AI value to 32 which was enough and brought out lights and contrasts, which I found helpful with this monotone snowy image. -   I changed into the Develop module where I enhanced the Exposure always keeping an eye on the Histogram because with snow you quickly run into burned out highlights.  - I also decreased the Highlight a bit and added more blacks.

October Moods - New pack of textures out!!

Hello,
after some time I finally have finished a new pack of fine art textures!


is out!

You'll get 40 textures I created over past few months that range from soft grunge to distressed and are all of a more neutral mellow tone.

They are available for 28,90 € (+ VAT  within the EU) // app USD 33,00


Here's a first look at them:



Get them here: OCTOBER MOODS

Over the last time I have used them on some of my images here is a bunch of them with a before/after view if you move with your mouse over the picture:

1. Fainting
This is an example with some more heavy texturizing - I used Thunder at 93% Multiply and Vintage Scroll at 60% Soft Light to brighten the hole image a bit.




2. Pioneer
 Another example with a more subtle texture processing
I wanted to add some structure to the vast sky. It was achieved with these  textures:
Crumpled - 39% Multiply and Weeds in Ice - 41% Overlay


   


3. Silent Days

This hazy winter scene was captured at the end of last year on a very wet and hazy day. The texture is mainly visible in the background and I used Shell at 30% Multiply and First Frost with the same setting (30% Multiply)


   

These are only three of several images I have already processed with these textures You can find a gallery of these here:  October Moods Images
I think I will post many more images there and also do some tutorials with the new textures as well.

Thanks for now,

Dirk
