How to add a texture or lighting overlay in Luminar Neo
Luminar Neo comes with several textures and lighting overlays, and you can even add your own for a truly unique image. Here’s how to add a texture or overlay to your image — it really is quite easy.
Why add textures or lighting overlays?
Various fine art textures and lighting overlays — even smoke haze — can really add drama to an image, making it more than just a simple photo.
Mix that with painterly effects created in Luminar Neo and you now really do have some fine art images, rather than mere portraits. It can be loads of fun, too!
“The Letter”
“The Letter” is a fine art series that I created in the studio, with dramatic lighting and an old-world feel. From the candlelight to the vintage table, books and paper, I wanted to add a sense of romance and drama. Adding textures and lighting overlays in Luminar Neo brings it all together.
You can see the rest of the images in the gallery on my website — “The Letter.”
