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.

 New Set of 40 White - Grey Neutral Grunge Textures


If you want to add some interest and textures to your photos this is the texture pack for you. Add these without overly influencing your image's colours (at least not too much ;-) !










These are available on my website for 17,90 € --> HERE


Here are some before/ after images of works where I used some of them.

Some tips for the use of these textures. 

Using these textures the usual way - meaning dragging the texture above your photo/ image (e..g. in Photoshop, Affinity Photo...) and applying a blend mode such as Multiply / Overlay or Soft Light should guarantee a decent result. 

Combine several textures on different layers to get an more intense texture effect. 
Vary the blend modes, e.g. combine Multiply on one texture with Overlay using a different texture. 

You might have to make some adjustment to colours, contrast and light.

As mentioned above they are designed to have a rather low impact on the colours of your designs. They also work great as neutral backgrounds. You can tint them by applying a Hue/Saturation layer and checking the "colorize" box.


Thanks for your visit.
