If I go to Recent edits both the RAF and DNG files are side by side for comparrison. Transformer opens and processes file saving to a "DNG folder" and auto opens Luminar to that folder in library.Select file in Finder and right click to Open in Xtransformer.right click in Luminar to "show in finder".When editing in Luminar if I see an image that need better correction's or is just lacking in detail I will.
#LUMINAR AI FORUM HOW TO#
So How to get the C1 look in Luminar, this is where X transformer comes in! To be fair this is because I'm using the "free" edition of C1. In most cases C1 has the best overall rendering and sharpness but lacks the character and convenience of templates when i want to get creative. I am currently working with an external library which is shared by Capture One 20 and Luminar Ai along with Iridient X transformer. Therefore this topic: what is your recommended Fuji X workflow when using Luminar AI (standalone or plug-in)? Looking forward to your replies! So yeah, my experience is that Luminar can be a pretty powerful tool but I found it to be a bit buggy and unreliable. However, this lead to an enormous shift in color comparing the ultimate exported image in comparison what I saw on screen. Last point: when converting a image in Lightroom in TIFF for Luminar I've read somewhere to convert it into ProPhoto color space. regarding buggyness, I also can't succeed in copying adjustments done in Luminar from one to another image I have to manually open the TIFF in Lightroom for further editing. In Lightroom I can convert a file to TIFF and use it in Luminar AI as plug-in, but there I can only save it without Luminar returning it automatic into Lightroom. images in Luminar are not as sharp as X-Transformer + Lightroom and I doubt some of thelens corrections it applies (maybe Luminar is unreliable in this regard?) I am experimenting a little bit and these are my findings: The way I look at it these are the options:ģ edit X-Transformer DNG in Lightroom and use Luminar as a plug-in Therefore, are there any Fuji X shooters that use Luminar AI and how.

However, after using Luminar AI I can see the potential and time saving from some of its tools. The visual elements help to convey much of the emotional possibilities in photography and nicely complement your narrative.Haven't seen a topic about this so I thought 'why not starting one'? Until this day I was a happy user of the X-Transformer + Lightroom combo. Thank you Paul Rubner for writing this article. I have often recommended earlier versions of Skylum products to people interested in photography. I can see the attraction Luminar AI might have for people who do not have a strong preference for an editing style or people more interested in quick improvements in the “look” of their image. My current workflow makes sense to me and I feel I have more complete creative control over the final results. Perhaps I am more old-school than I realized. I do not find Luminar AI adds anything I want or need as I think about my creative approach to telling a story through photography. My use of all Skylum tools is as PS plug-ins and support for layers and masks is essential to the way I work. Like Kevin Raber, I do all my RAW processing in Capture One and export to Photoshop CC for finishing. With Luminar AI, a number of changes were made that are incompatible with my workflow preferences.

I have been an enthusiastic customer of Macphun later rebranded as Skylum and I continue to use some of their earlier tools (Luminar 4 and Intensify Pro) as Photoshop plug-ins. I did pre-order Luminar AI and I use a number of other tools based on AI. It is worth noting that the article does not attempt to directly answer the initial question. I am an enthusiastic amateur using photography as a creative outlet. Rubner’s thoughts and preferences as I understand them. A very thoughtful well written article about artificial intelligence in image editing.
