Using Filters

• Disclosure triangle. Click this triangle to hide or show a filter’s controls.

• Filter name. Click the filters name to access a contextual menu of filter controls.

• Filter mask button. The filter mask lets you paint with a brush to control where a filter’s results are shown or hidden.

• Visibility icon. Click this icon to toggle the visibility for a filter’s results.  This is a useful way to judge the effect a filter is having on your image.

At the bottom of each filter you’ll find:

• Reset filter button. This resets all of the controls of a filter to their default value. You can also double-click an individual slider to reset a single controller.

• Remove filter button. This removes the filter from the panel.  You can re-add a filter by clicking the Add Filters button at the top of the side panel. If you want to temporarily disable a filter, just click its visibility icon (the eyeball).

Essential Filters

The essential filter are some of the most frequently used in Luminar.  These filters perform core adjustments that are useful for most images.

Accent AI Filter

This filter automatically analyzes your image and instantly corrects it.  Under the hood, more than a dozen controls are in use.  This effect tends to yield naturally beautiful results with one simple slider.  The Accent  AI Filter can substitute for many traditional controls like shadows, highlights, contrast, tone, saturation, exposure, details and others.

Boost –  Controls the overall amount of the filter effect applied to your image.

Black & White Conversion

The B&W Conversion filter converts a color photo to black & white.  It also contains a number of controls to manipulate the monochrome look.

• Color Filter. Six Color Filters are available which act similar to glass filters that are placed in front of a camera lens. Neutral, red, orange, yellow, green and blue. Each Color Filter when applied will brighten that specific color and darken the opposite color on the color spectrum. For example: Red is often used to brighten skin tones and Blue to darken skies. Click the Edit button to redefine any default value.
• Luminance. Color sliders control the brightness of each relative color as it is converted from color to black and white.
• Saturation. Each Color slider will introduce the respective color that was present within the original color image back into the black and white image.
• Exposure. Controls the overall luminance value throughout the image. Adding exposure brightens the image while removing exposure darkens the image.
• Contrast. Controls the differences in the relationships of tonal values. Adding contrast increases the difference between the highlights, midtones, and shadows. Removing contrast decreases the difference between these tonal values, “flattening” these relationships.
• Highlights. Luminance control of the brighter values in the image, basically affecting the tones on the right side of the histogram independently from the darker values.
• Shadows. Luminance control of the darker values in the image, basically affects the tones on the left side of the histogram independently from the brighter values.
• Whites. Very specific luminance control over the brightest values within the image, really only affecting the tones that lie within the far right of the histogram.
• Blacks. Very specific luminance control over the darkest values within the image, really only affecting the tones that lie within the far left of the histogram.
• Clarity. Allows users to increase the contrast in the midtones introducing more depth between the relationships of values that lie in the middle of the histogram.
• Details. Increases image details globally or in highlights and shadows.

• Exposure. Adjusts the global luminance of the image. Moving this slider to the left results in a darker image (reduction of exposure value). Moving this slider to the right results in a brighter image (increase of exposure value).
• Contrast. Adjusts the contrast of the image. Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object in an image distinguishable from another. Practically speaking, contrast is determined by the difference in the color and brightness of an object in relation to other objects within the same field of view.
• Smart Tone. This slider adjusts the overall brightness of image properly. When moving to the right, the image is more vivid, but it does not work when bright areas become white, as in the ordinary exposure. And when you move the slider to the left, the image becomes darker but there are no completely black areas. This is a very powerful and balanced image brightness tool.
• Highlights. Adjusts the brightness of the brightest areas of the image. Moving the slider to the right cause very bright areas to become brighter, while moving the slider to the left, makes them darker.
• Shadows. Adjusts the brightness level of the darkest areas of the image. Moving the slider to the right will cause such areas to become brighter and additional details will appear. When moving to the left, such areas become darker, and the number of shadow areas in the image generally increases. 
• Whites. Adjusts the white point of the histogram and white tones in the image. When moving to the right, the brightest tones will become brighter while the histogram stretches to the right. Moving the slider to the left will cause white tones in the image to become darker and the histogram to compress to the left.
• Blacks. Sets the black point of the histogram or black tones in the image. Moving the slider to the right, black tones become brighter and the histogram compresses to the right. Moving the slider to the left, black become darker and the histogram stretches to the left.

Note

Whites and Blacks can be used to fine-tune of contrast of the image.

Strong raised Shadows can lead to a strong dark areas and loss of contrast.

Vignette

A Vignette darkens or lightens the edges of your image. This is quite an old technique to emphasize the accents on photos. The effect typically leaves the central area unaffected while the edges are shaded or lightened.

• Amount. Strengthens the darkening around the edges of photos. In position 0, the effect is not applied. Move the slider to the left side of the picture to give more shading to the edges, while moving the slider to right will brighten the edges.
• Size. Size of the obscured area. Moving the slider to the left will increase the area of ​​darkening. Moving the slider to the right will reduce the area of ​​darkening.
• Roundness. This slider changes the shape of the shaded area.
• Feather. This slider sets the smoothness of the transition between the area of shading.
• Inner Brightness. This slider increases the brightness in the central region which is not affected by shading. It allows you to create a contrast effect.

Note

This tool allows you to highlight key points in the photo, making it more interesting. A slight edges shading always provokes the viewer's eye to consider the lighter central part of the photo. For a realistic picture, don’t lower the Amount below -50. As a rule, this effect is used only with darker shading. Highlights are rarely used except for some vintage looks.

• Luminosity. Removes grayscale noise from an image.
• Color. Removes color noise from an image.
• Boost. Increases how aggressive the Denoise filter is.

• Small Details. Small sets sharpness of fine details. At 0, the effect is not applied. Moving the slider to the right will intensify the clarity of small details, while moving to the left, on the contrary, will somewhat wash out the fine details.
• Medium Details. This option sets medium-sized parts sharpness. At 0, the effect is not applied. Moving the slider to the right increases the sharpness, while moving the slider to the left decreases it.
• Large Details.  Use this choice to set sharpness of global contours of objects in the image. At 0, the effect is not applied. Moving the slider to the right increases the sharpness, while moving to the left decreases it.
• Highlight Protection. To ensure that the brighter areas of the image aren’t over-processed use the Highlight Protection slider.
• Masking. Try the Masking slider to control the zone of detail amplification. When moving the slider to the left, the number of zones increases and the image becomes more detailed. When moving to the right, the number of granularity zones is reduced. Optimal masking comes from a setting in the range from 30 to 70.

• Hue. Modifies the hue of the affected foliage.  Useful to dial in the right amount of green.
• Amount.  This controls how strong the adjustment is for the image.

Polarizing Filter 

On a camera, a polarizing filter can provide more color depth and cuts atmospheric haze, resulting in richer, bluer skies. The same holds true with the Polarizing Filter in Luminar.   The effect will produce deeper blue skies and more contrast in clouds. With a light touch of this filter, almost any landscape image can be improved.  

• Method.  There are three methods to choose from.  Two are automatic that attempt to determine color cast.  The other lets you manually adjust the Hue.

TIP

If you press and hold the Option key and click on a slider value in the sidebar, moving the cursor to the left and right will let you set the values of the slider with high accuracy. Slider sensitivity is higher than with its normal movement. This allows you to fine-tune to small numeric values.

Сolor Balance

The Color Balance filter is useful to change the overall mixture of colors in an image for general color correction. It can also be used for creative control within different tonal regions of an image.

• Color Balance Sliders. Adjust the balance of Cyan-Red, Magenta-Green, and Yellow-Blue to emphasize certain colors in each tonal region.

Color Contrast

This filter lets you choose a color range to which to apply contrast. The color selected will cause objects of that color to become lighter, while opposite colors on color wheel will become darker. This effect can help make flat images pop based on the colors in the image.

• Amount. This controls contrast that is created between differences based on colors (vs. luminance). The strongest is the more contrast between primary and secondary colors.
• Hue. Chooses the target Hue for emphasis.
• Brightness. The overall lightness or darkness of the image is controlled with this slider.
• Contrast. This slider emphasizes the difference in brightness between areas and objects

• Tabs. You can make a curve adjustment to all channels equally or to an individual channel (such as to blue to emphasize the sky).
• Sliders. At the bottom there are sliders that let you adjust black and white points of the histogram (the leftmost and rightmost sliders), as well as the middle bend of the curve (the central slider).
• Points. You can add up to 10 control points.  Drag up to add contrast to an area and down to lighten the area. Multiple points can be employed for contrast adjustments based on tonal range.

Dodge & Burn

Dodge & Burn tools are known as toning tools. They allow for finer control over lightening or darkening an image. These tools simulate traditional techniques used by photographers. In a darkroom, the photographer would regulate the amount of light on a particular area of a print.  

1. To Dodge and Burn, apply the Dodge & Burn filter in the Filters list.

2. Click the Start Painting button to open up your canvas.

3. Choose either the Lighten or Darken tools in the top Toolbar to select the desired brush.

4. Use the Size slider in the Toolbar to control how large the brush is.

5. Use the Strength slider to control its impact.

6. If you get an accidental stroke, the Erase tool can be used to remove it.

7. Click Reset if you need to start over.

8. Click Done to apply the adjustment.

9. Use the Amount slider in the filter control group to further refine the global intensity of the filter and blend it back with the original image.

NOTE

This is a tool that is meant to be used creatively and by feeling.  It is more about the looks and results than it is specific numbers and sliders. Feel free to experiment as you can always adjust the mask of the Dodge & Burn effect as well as its overall opacity.

HSL 

Selectively adjusts Hue (color), Saturation (color purity), and Luminance (intensity) of individual colors in the image for color correction to balance tones and explore creative possibilities. Allows you to create unique looks with selective coloring.

• Hue. A set of sliders to adjust the hue or basic color shades of your image. Sliding the control further to the right results in a shift towards the next color in the list (for example from Orange to Yellow). Sliding the left shifts the hue towards the previous color in the list (for example from Orange to Red).
• Saturation. A set of sliders to adjust color saturation. Sliding the control further to the right results in a more intense color. Of course, moving to the left removes color to the point where -100 will make the image appear black and white.
• Luminance. A set of sliders to adjust the brightness of the colors. Sliding the control further to the right results in a brighter color within the image. The further to the left, the darker the image.

Note

This is a powerful tool for fine-tuning of colors in the image as well as a means for creative image processing. Examples of using this tool:

The sky is mostly blue in photos. Therefore, lowering the brightness of blue colors in the image can cause more dark and deep blue of the sky.

Reducing the tone for some colors (move the slider to the right in Saturation tab), and leaving it for the other can cause a dramatic effect on the selective color in photos.

Raising the yellow color (move of the slider to the right) can significantly improve color saturation of autumn foliage on the photos.

• Amount. This lets you reduce the intensity of the Lookup Table.
• Contrast. This impacts the overall contrast in the image and can be used to refine the LUT’s appearance.
• Saturation. This impacts the overall saturation in the image and can also be used to refine the LUT’s appearance.

Note

If you choose a custom LUT it will automatically be stored with your saved Luminar file or embedded into any custom preset that you create.

Microstructure 

Improves the sharpening of your image in small areas of fine detail and texture. Advanced parameters allow you to fine tune this subtle yet dramatic effect. Use this tool to get some creative, HDR-like effects. 

• Amount. Use the Amount slider to control how much structure is added. 
• Smoothness.  Try the Smoothness slider to better blend the increased details and avoid hard edges.

Photo Filter 

This filter simulates color filters that traditionally are attached to a camera lens.  Professional photographers often place glass filters in front of the camera lens to “cool” or “warm” a picture, or to add special effects. These can also be used to accentuate complementary colors, and add creative toning to your photos.

• Amount. Controls how much of the colored filter is added to the image.
• Hue. Sets the color value for the photo filter.
• Saturation. Controls the intensity of the color added to the image.
• Save Luminosity. This option prevents the overall exposure of the image from changing.  It is useful for most cases and should be turned on to compare its effect.

Split Color Warmth 

This filter can be used to selectively enhances cool and warm tones in your image. Allows you to get increased color contrast and vibrancy or create creative toning effects. You can separately adjust the Warm Colors and Cool Colors.  Drag to the left to reduce Saturation in a target and to the right to add more in.

• Exposure –  Adjusts the luminance of the image. Moving a slider to the left results in a darker image (reduction of exposure value). Moving this slider to the right results in a brighter image (increase of exposure value). You can adjust the relative exposure for both the top and bottom of the image independently to refine an image.
• Contrast – Separate contrast controls allow you to modify the amount of  contrast at the top and bottom of the image.  Contrast is the difference in luminance or color that makes an object in an image distinguishable from another. Practically speaking, contrast is determined by the difference in the color and brightness of an object in relation to other objects within the same field of view.
• Vibrance. This slider is a "Smart Saturation” control. In general, its effect is similar to Saturation with the difference that it increases less vibrant colors stronger and has a weaker effect on more vibrant colors. This allows you to get more realistic and less saturated colors the picture. This slider can be used in conjunction with the Saturation to enhance the secondary colors.
• Warmth. This slider affects how warm or cool an image appears.  A positive value adds warmth while a negative value cools the image. 
• Orientation – You can adjust the orientation of the gradient with three controls.  It can be moved up or down as well as rotated.  It can also be blended for a smoother transition.

Bi-Color Toning

This filter simulates a traditional glass bi-color filter.  It uses two colors and a soft transition to tone the image. This is a good choice for enhancing seascapes and landscape photos.

• Amount. This controls the intensity of the filter.  Overall, how strong the colors are. 
• Top Color. This is the color used at the top of the frame.  This will usually be a shad of blue or purple for the sky.
• Bottom Color. Use this color to control the landscape or water color.
• Blend. The blend control affects how smooth or a transition there is between the top and bottom adjustment.  A higher value creates a soft transition while a lower value is more abrupt.
• Shift. The shift option moves the transition point between adjustments.  By default it is centered top-to-bottom, but this can be raised or lowered in the frame.
• Rotation. If your image is angled (or your scene has strong geometric composition) you can rotate the angle of the blending.  You’ll find controls to rotate + or - 90˚.

Brightness/Contrast

This is a basic filter which adjusts the overall lightness or darkness of an image (brightness) and the difference in brightness between areas and objects (contrast).  This filter is easy to understand and works well for new users. For best results consider using the Tone or Develop filters.

• Highlights . Adjusts the brightness of the brightest areas of the image. Moving the slider to the right cause very bright areas to become brighter, while moving the slider to the left, makes them darker.
• Shadows. Adjusts the brightness level of the darkest areas of the image. Moving the slider to the right will cause such areas to become brighter and additional details will appear. When moving to the left, such areas become darker, and the number of shadow areas in the image generally increases.

Top & Bottom Lighting 

This filter allows selective adjustment of lighting for the top and bottom parts of the image. Controls permit shifting the transition area, rotation angle and blending gradient. This effect is widely used in landscape or architecture photography with a distinct horizon. The effect flexibly and separately controls the brightness and other aspects of the top and bottom of the image.  This enables you, for example, to lower the brightness of the sky and raise the brightness of the foreground. Thus, your image can be significantly improved without resorting to creating layers and masking.

• Top. Controls the brightness of the top of the image. Moving the slider to the left will make it darker and to the right brighter.
• Bottom. Controls the brightness of the bottom of the image. Moving the slider to the left will make it darker and to the right brighter.
• Orientation. Three sliders let you adjust the horizontal position, rotation of the adjustment, and feathering between top and bottom.

Whites/Blacks

This filter is a simple way to adjust the white and black point of an image.  This gives you finer control over the contrast in a photo.  Drag a slider to the right to brighten a zone and to the left to darken.

• Whites. This affects the brightest areas of the image.
• Blacks. This affects the darkest areas of the image.

The use of filters can be significantly extended with blending modes. Each filter supports the use of its own blending mode, which allows for very complex combinations of results. Blending modes are both a mystery and a source of great design power. Each blending mode controls how a filter’s results are blended with the image below.

To access Blending Modes for a filter

1. Apply a filter to an image.
2. Click the triangle next to a filter’s name.
3. From the drop-down menu choose Blending Mode.
4. Select a blending mode from the list.

How do blending modes work? The simple answer is, it depends. Your response is likely, depends on what? Simply put, the effect achieved by blending a filter varies with the contents of the original layer and the filters applied. A blending mode compares the content of two and enacts changes based on the content of both.

Here are the modes supported by Luminar:

• Normal. The default mode performs no additional change to how layer contents interact.
• Darken. Pixels lighter than blend are replaced; darker ones are not.
• Multiply. Is similar to drawing strokes on the image with markers. The colors of the top layer or blended with the image.
• Color Burn. Evaluates each channel; darkens base by increasing contrast.
• Lighten. Evaluates each channel; it then uses base or blend color (whichever is lighter).
• Screen. Uses a lighter color. It is useful for “knocking” black out of a layer.
• Overlay. Overlays existing pixels while preserving highlights and shadows of base.
• Soft Light. The effect is similar to shining a diffused spotlight on the image.
• Hard Light. Effect is similar to shining a harsh spotlight on the image.
• Difference. Evaluates each channel and subtracts or inverts depending on brightness.
• Subtract. Looks at the color in each channel and subtracts the blend from the base.
• Hue. Uses luminance and saturation of the base and the hue of the blend.
• Color. Preserves gray levels. It’s very useful for coloring and tinting.
• Luminosity. Is the inverse effect from the Color mode.

Note

To get the most from blending modes:

• Experiment Freely. The best way to use blending modes is to just try them out.
• Exploit Blending Modes. Do you need to tint an image? Place a Photo Filter on top of the image and change to Hue or Color mode. Need to drop out white in a layer? Just set it to Multiply mode. Blending modes are available for every filter.

• Double click a Slider. If you double-click on any slider name resets the value to the default. In most cases, double-clicking returns it to 0.
• Hold the Option Key. If you press and hold the Option key and click on a slider value in the sidebar, moving the cursor to the left and right will let you set the values of the slider with high accuracy. Slider sensitivity is higher than with its normal movement. This allows you to fine-tune to small numeric values.
• Masking. Click the mask button next to a filter’s name to control how a mask is applied. See the section “Masking Options in Luminar” to learn more.
