Last week, the Netherlands and Belgium experienced a heavy snowfall, with even 20 cm of snow in some places. The sled has been taken from the attic, and the pea soup is simmering wonderfully on the fire. You may have been able to take beautiful snow photos to capture this special moment, but did you manage to capture the right atmosphere?
Snow can quickly cause photos to become overexposed or create a color blur. Depending on the light, photos may take on a blue or brown tint, especially if the sky is cloudy. You can easily edit the images via the standard photo app, but if you really want to go all out, you can improve the photos with artificial intelligence thanks to Luminar Neo from Skylum.
Luminar Neo: artificial intelligence
Luminar Neo is an advanced photo editing software from Skylum, available as a standalone app for Mac and Windows or as a plug-in for Photoshop, Lightroom and Apple Photos, that relies heavily on AI technology to simplify editing and boost creativity.
With Luminar Neo you edit photos controlled by artificial intelligence, so that AI takes care of the complex tasks. After this, all you have to do is add any personal touch to the photo. Snow photos are perfect to discover the power of the photo app.
Core features include Enhance AI for automatic shadow, highlight and contrast adjustments, Sky AI for seamless sky changes, Relight AI for exposure corrections, Face AI and Skin AI for portrait retouches, as well as tools like Supersharp AI for blur removal, Noiseless AI for noise reduction, and extensions for HDR Merge and Focus Stacking. Its non-destructive workflow with layers, masks and presets makes it suitable for beginners and professionals alike, with support for RAW files and an intuitive photo management catalog.
Scan for edits
After uploading a photo, Luminar Neo will scan it. During the scanning process, the subject and possible problem areas in the composition are automatically identified. The artificial intelligence within Luminar recognizes the relationships between all elements in a photo, thanks to 3D depth mapping.
Easily edit photos with templates
After analyzing the photo, the app offers some suggestions that you can apply in the form of templates. These templates are designed to perform very specific edits and enhancements to individual elements of an image.
At the time of writing, there are currently no templates (Presets) available in Luminar Neo that are specifically aimed at snow landscapes. This is certainly a loss, but the other templates for environments and landscapes, as well as the recommendations based on your photo, already offer a lot of support.
Edit snow photos with AI
It is not a requirement to use templates, you can also edit the photos manually with different options and artificial intelligence. You can get started right away with numerous options via the ‘Edit’ tab.
This tool allows you to apply various editing options such as light, color, details, structure and composition. Luminar Neo also offers the option to automatically improve your photo and makes suggestions for a breathtaking result.
Magical winter wonderland world
You can also add new effects to your media naturally. You can make the snow photo extra mysterious by adding fog, or by adding sun rays to the sun, making it even more special.
Sky AI automatically recognizes the sky in an image. With just a few clicks you can transform a cloudy photo into an image with a bright blue sky. Not only is the sky replaced, but the lighting of the entire composition also adapts to the new sky.
Besides improving the snow photo, you can also make it extra magical with different effects and templates. This creates a special winter wonderland world that completely fits in with the theme.
