There are image editing processes that have historically been difficult if not impossible to perform satisfactorily. Replacing large areas of an image was possible, if fiddly. Removing objects from a flattened image required a lot of work and was usually only effective with small objects.
Luminar 4 changes all that with its artificial intelligence algorithms that analyse an image in real-time, identifying what specific parts of a picture are likely to depict.
The result of this is that it can find and swap out entire areas of sky from an image with just a couple of clicks. Even more impressively, painting over an object, as long as it is not huge, causes Luminar to sample surrounding areas and ‘heal’ over it, effectively removing that object without any adverse effects.
These tools, especially the object removal tool, help dramatically with manipulating an image without spending hours doing it. In fact, it’s surprisingly quick and easy. Read on to find out how.
