*Featured photo: Golden hour at Zabriske Point, Death Valley (after an edit with Luminar Neo)
Wouldn’t it be nice to quickly edit a photo, without overthinking it or overdoing it?
I think the folks at Skylum felt the same way when they developed Luminar Neo – a photo editor with intuitive, AI-powered tools designed to make your photo editing life easier. Like an adjustment slider dedicated to making golden hours, more golden.
You may want to make a few more adjustments after, but it already sounds so much easier, right?
Here’s my before golden hour photo, taken a few years ago at Death Valley:

It’s alright, but my RAW didn’t capture the dreamy glow I felt in person. To bring it back using Luminar Neo, I selected Edit (on the top bar), then Landscape (on the right panel), then moved the Golden Hour slider (from the drop-down).
That’s Edit > Landscape > Golden Hour.

Here’s the after, with a golden hour, that’s more golden.

And there you have it 🙂
Until next time,
K
