Broken Glass Effect using Luminar 4.2

Broken Glass Effect using Luminar 4.2

Creating unusual effects for portraits or landscapes is fun in Luminar 4.2 and in this video I’m going to show you how to emulate a smashed glass effect using a combination of image layers and blending modes PLUS there is a few more image effects after the initial example.
The files used in the video are available for you to download free below. There are 18 files (templates) in total for you to try out and have fun with in your images

The dispersion effect in photoshop is an effect I really like so I wanted to create something in Luminar that gave a similar effect and that’s what I enjoy about trying different software, the challenge of learning new things and new ways to do things.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial as it’s a good way of thinking about blending layers and how they interact with each other.

EXPLORE. IMAGINE. CREATE. thats the key. Once you have the idea then it's just the process.

There are many ways to create your images and its fun to try different things with your images.I hope the methods shown in this tutorial are useful to you in creating your own.

Its really worth exploring the software and seeing what it can do and as well as that letting your imagination run free :)
It’s good to think outside the box at times and just experiment with what you can do with your software.

The focus of the tutorial is not the final image but the process involved to get there.

Try the techniques for yourself and see what happens, if you like them use it in the future. But if not, well at least you have learned something that the software can do differently. All’s Good :)

enjoy :)
