Lovely image of a lovely place, Leadenhall Market, pronounced Lead'Nall. Used to work near it many moons ago, lovely place for lunch especially midweek. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding Jim. I like how easy it is to copy masks. Also liked the vignette trick to turn it "on" so inner light works!

[RonaldBrown]

I never really knew how radical masks worked, and now I can see how useful they can be. Great tutorial Jim, and thanks for sharing.

Jim, you come across as just the nicest guy - must be that Texas charm! Keep up your obvious interest in engaging people with warmth and interest.

Very helpful as always learn alot from you

I get super confused about these masks because to me, the area defined by one should, by default, be "inside" the lines, not outside. It throws me for a loop every time. "Do I want to invert it or not?" Thanks for continuing to offer instruction on them; it's helping cement it in my head that that area affected is OUTSIDE the lines unless you invert it. I keep forgetting to turn on the mask so I can see it! I can see myself watching this multiple times, because it's full of clever tricks. :) One of your best, Jim.

The Orton and Mystical filters definitely give more mood than the before scene. More like a movie feel or cinematic look. Thanks for tips and advice to add these last mood effects subtly!

Bought Luminar 4 a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy your tutorials.

You are a gifted teacher, as I have mentioned before! Question: In the beginning of this radial mask video you worked first in light tool. Why couldn't you in that beginning layer placed the radial mask. Why at that point did you add the new layer and then added radial mask. Thank you, Bob

Pluses, and minuses - opinions - whatever!
I did appreciate the video - I've been wrestling with the program this past week, doing all sorts of other things - I have a couple of manuals, totalling nearly 700 pages, on Affinity Photo, but I've had to teach myself Luminar 4 "on the fly". I can now see some things I was completely unaware of, even yesterday!
"Yellow" in street? - I like yellow (as in incandescent) but I'm not keen on it if it comes from a sodium vapour lamp. That said, by eliminating it, you've automatically brought up the blue in the sky etc, which really enhances this image. There's no "one size fits all" in that one - it ends up as an "either/or choice" between yellow & blue! (Unless you want to get seriously crazy with masking, and do different areas differently - one to enhance the blue and the rest to get rid of the yellow)
