I usually like to try out the Accent AI editor to see what it will do before moving on to other filters. Once you’ve finished with the Raw Develop adjustments you can move on to any of the other amazing Luminar presets and/or filters. (A good rule of thumb is to take the slider just past the point where it looks good and then back it off until it hits the sweet spot.) When I was finished, I bumped up the clarity just a touch. I also wanted to open up (brighten) the shadows some to bring out more detail. In this photo, I chose to tone down the highlights some so that I could boost the exposure without blowing them out.

This photo was taken with a pretty straight horizon, so not much adjustment was needed.Īdjusting the white balance is super easy with the Raw Develop filter-you can use the presets (where it says “custom”), the temperature/tint sliders, or the white balance tool to the left of the presets. Simply select Luminar’s “transform” option and adjust the rotate slider. When the horizon’s crooked, the viewer’s brain will keep trying to compensate for it, creating a sense of unease. This is an often over-looked edit by beginning landscape photographers, yet it’s quite important. Now that Luminar Neo has included it in the Raw Develop filter, there’s no longer any need to do it in Lightroom. It’s helpful to start with this adjustment first, as non-corrected images can be distracting.
