When used as a plugin with Photoshop, Luminar 4 will create another layer. Luminar 4 can only use skies that are JPEG and TIFF files. I was curious as to how it would compare with Photoshop Sky Replacement. I’ve used Luminar 4’s AI Sky Replacement to “drop in” my own sky before. This can be time-consuming, so I am always interested in ways to quicken the process. In other words, I am interested in this for creating a mask my own skies. However, I take low-ISO night or “blue hour” twilight photos of the foreground, then take successive “stacked” photos of the night sky, and then blend them together.

Personally, I am not so interested in replacing my skies with a sky from somewhere else. One of the most anticipated features in Photoshop is their AI-powered Sky Replacement. In this video Serge will show you another way that works every time and no masking needed to help fix that issue, and go through several images, testing out which system performs better depending on the subject and image type.Recently, in conjunction with the Adobe MAX Creativity Conference, Adobe released the eagerly awaited version of Photoshop version 22, which comes with quite a few new features, many of which are powered by AI.

The only downside that seems to be consistent for both is that sometimes the mask is not perfect and the reflections don’t really work regardless of what platform. But both are very very useful tools for your editing needs and can save you hours of time in front of the computer. Both tools have their hiccups, advantages, and disadvantages showing that regardless of the system you choose, there’s still going to be some manual touching up needed to make it perfect. While in most cases I am totally all for this since I’ll use anything that’ll save me time from in front of the computer and let me spend more time behind the camera! So today, Serge Ramelli has decided to tackle the newest features that has most people talking, and that’s to compare the AI Sky Replacement tools between Adobe Photoshop 2021 and Skylum Luminar 4 (Which was the first to launch this feature).īoth use Artificial Intelligence to create a mask to put in a new sky of your choosing into an existing image. It seems that everywhere you look today with Photo retouching tools, it’s all about the AI tools that are available Make it easier, faster, better.
