I’ve been using Luminar for some time now, and I use their products extensively in my image editing workflow. I was thrilled to join Skylum as a brand ambassador in the spring of 2019 and as part of this remit, I have created these signature looks for Luminar. Here you’ll find a number of looks suited for various travel photography scenarios. Use these as a one-click look, or as a foundation to build your own signature looks. Happy shooting!

Las Vegas
For cityscapes at night
A look which handles the incredible detail and dynamic range of vibrant city scenes, calming down bright light source and subtly enhancing the shadows. The unattractive colour cast of orange street lighting is automatically toned down, while luminosity is preserved. If the effect is not strong enough, consider using the additional Kill The Lights look as a separate adjustment layer and simply brush away orange streetlights where they detract from a scene.Ayutthaya
For still objects, statues, detailing and abstracts
A muted sepia look to lend a sense of timelessness to an image.

Golden Hour Silhouette
A look that emphasises the natural warmth and glow, and preserving the natural haze of a silhouette taken at golden hour. Warm tones are exaggerated and cool tones are reduced, with a gentle glow added to create a dreamy image.Milky Way
For astrophotography
Two looks which are applied as separate adjustment layers – one for the landscape, and one for the sky. First, apply the Milky Way – Landscape look, which brightens your foreground and enhances details. Secondly, create a new adjustment layer and apply the Milky Way – Sky look and mask out your foreground. This brings out the highlights in the sky, creates colour separation, and clearly defines the Milky Way as it appears in your image. An optional dodge and burn filter is available for additional touch ups of the Milky Way core.
Bronze Statue

This look enhances the fine details of a bronze or copper statue, adding richness to the colour of the brown hues, and increasing the luminosity of the natural green patina that forms on such structures. Finally, a subtle vignette is added to draw the viewer’s eye towards the centre of frame, though you can adjust and move the vignette – or omit it completely to suit your taste.Skomer
