This week I am editing a landscape image in Luminar Neo.
It is sort of in a category of its own when it comes to photo editors, in that it combines many of the well known (and expected) features with more modern ones. It is also a way more "colourful” editor, both literally and figuratively.
The image for this week was made right here in Switzerland, in the mountains between Meiringen and Grindelwald.
And yes, my video length is still long - maybe I should just lean into that!?
Anyway, I enjoyed making it.
Let’s go!
