One of your best tutorials to date, Greg! Not only is this a fantastic Lumenzia demonstration, but a great workflow lesson as well. I hope to see more of these great tutorials in the future!

I find this type of tutorial very useful. Very helpful to see how you evaluate a photo and methodically work through the various defects. Very helpful in training my eye. Also, I find myself creating a layer and mask for each adjustment, and you demonstrate how to use multiple selections on the same layer and mask to accomplish a number of things. Much more efficient. Great to see how flexible all these tools are.

Greg: I never really understood "Luminosity Masking" beyond the definition of those two words. Then, I watched your tutorial "How to create a stunning cityscape in Photoshop with luminosity masks..." Thanks so much! Your videos have been a great help.

Absolute favourite Lumenzia workflow video, thank you

Excellent. The full work through of an image and then using many of the Lumenzia features is very helpful. I will be playing this video a lot. This is a great approach. Please keep it up. Thank you.

Very very useful actually.
I've learned more about the workflow of Lumenzia from this.

Please, more of these when you have the time Greg.
Thank you.

Amazing job! There's is just sooo much information on the tools you're using that is easy to get lost!

Awesome tutorial. As a novice user of Lumenzia this is very helpful in learning how to get the best out of the tool and enhance my own photographs.

Love Your work and tutorial Greg. Bought Lumenzia last year so I consider myself a newbie but these videos really inspire me tog dig deeper with Lumenzia. Thanks a lot!

Thanks Greg - not only does it cover your panel very well, but it reinforces PS learning too.
Oh if only there were a PDF with the script of what you did !!!

Found this workflow video incredibly insightful and helpful, and of course easy to follow. Would love some insights/see the workflow when you're working with bracketed exposures. I.e. if that shot was completely blown out and you needed to bring in the underexposed shot, which layer would you create the mask on, would you still paint in a selection or apply the mask to that underexposed layer, etc... :)

Very good tuto :-) Would have liked to see the whole fonctions of Lumenzia in one tuto : Does it exist ? ;-) Go on with your excellent work, thank you !! :-) Jean-François

Hello Greg, Awesome tutorial, thank you very much.
I have a question for you, do you ever blend exposures in photoshop and work on 1 single TIFF?

[mockkie]

Great tutorial Greg! Question... Why did you import the original untouched raw file into Photoshop as a separate layer? I don't think I saw you refer to or use that layer at all?

[stephenhennel]

Awesome video, If I may cc: why not just remove those reflections in the water completely? Think it would really bump this up even more. Clone stamp, boom...cause to be honest, I cant even tell what or why that streak on the bottom right is there haha. As always awesome work though
