Frequently Asked Questions

How to make a sepia image with Luminar Neo?

Changing photos to sepia is easy in Luminar Neo, and you can do it in multiple ways. Add it with a one-click Preset, use the Mood tool and apply a sepia LUT, or play with the more advanced tools like Color and Toning.

Does adding a sepia color filter impact image resolution?

Adding a sepia color filter does not inherently impact the resolution of an image. A sepia filter is a post-processing adjustment that changes the color tones of the image without altering the underlying pixel dimensions or resolution. However, there are some scenarios where the perception of image sharpness or quality might be affected by applying a sepia filter, like during printing.

How to remove the sepia effect?

To remove the sepia effect, you can go to the Edit history of your photo and undo the step where you applied the sepia effect. Otherwise, you can edit the photo and add other effects to it, like converting it to black and white, neutralizing the sepia effect.

How to customize sepia intensity?

You can customize the intensity depending on how you achieved the sepia effect. If you used a Preset or a LUT, you can easily regulate the amount of the impact. If you added a separate sepia Overlay you can also adjust its opacity in the Layers tab. Another way is to play with the Color and Toning tools to achieve your desired precise effect.
