  • EP 015 - Sky Replacements in Photoshop and Luminar

    EP 015 - Sky Replacements in Photoshop and Luminar
    Oct 26 2020
    This week we are talking Sky Replacements. Adobe Photoshop recently added a new one click sky replacement feature so Adam and Joe take the time to dive into comparing doing a sky replacement manually in Photoshop and with the automated software in Photoshop. Then we go on to compare the AI of Luminar's sky replacement and compare that with what you can do with one click in Photoshop. We talk about the features of each, the pros and cons, as well as a quick discussion on the ethics of replacing skies in your photography. --- References: Luminar - https://bit.ly/2Hzor7i (https://bit.ly/2Hzor7i) --- Follow In Focus Videocast : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL0M_mz3jrmtYwhev8ACb7Q (YouTube) https://www.instagram.com/infocusvideocast/ (Instagram) Email us at: infocusvideocast@gmail.com For more information on Adam Goldberg's work, visit https://www.agoldbergphoto.com/ (https://www.agoldbergphoto.com) To see more of Joseph Roybal's work, head to https://www.josephroybal.com/ (https://www.josephroybal.com)
