Thanks Jim. The more I see what can be done with NEO, the more I like this product.

Jim,
Enjoyed the video but worry about the transition from the mountain to the sky.
All the best and I hope that you have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Great tutorial and amazing improvement in the look to this photo. Thank you.

Great landscape photo, Jim! Nice composition. And your edits definitely made some improvements. Thanks!

Good job Jim, still using the old Luminar I have heard a lot of negative about Neo so I am on the fence about upgrading. Thanks for sharing.

G'day Jim
What an amazing transformation! 👏
Even though your eyes due to your (and mine) advanced years has let you down a little. Your vast experience in post-production has yet again saved a brilliant photo.
I'm so glad that I have these extensions as well.

Greg..

Ps. Could you do a video on focus stacking please 🙏.

I don't think the original raw was that bad to begin with. Great video again!

Another great photo and edit Jim, and another instance where I didn't see you use color balance. 🤷🏼‍♂ After watching your initial tutorial on using color balance in Luminar Neo, I use it on most every photo except for black and white. 😎

It's always fascinating sitting on your shoulder watching you do your magic! But I wish you'd erased that hiker's lamp in the lower left corner. It upstages the waterfalls and looks so unnatural. You could have had that outta there in a jiffy!

Excellent recovery of the original image Jim.The video shows what can be done to save what at first may seem to be a lost cause.

Good edit, pity about the hiker. One day we'll have software to eliminate that light effect from the headlamp spoiling it somewhat.

Truly genius! How do you master all of this?

I think the end result will go into your all-time hall of fame best shots, Jim. Though I'm not yet convinced that Neo's extensions are best in class, at least they are there and convenient, versus the cumbersome round trip to get them into the Topaz AI products and back (since Neo doesn't support 3rd party plugins yet). Unrelated: I tried upscaling using Neo's extension vs Topaz Photo AI and it was no contest (for Photo AI).

Jim, how long did it take for the super sharp plugin to render?
