AI Tools in Post-processing: will Adobe PS Keep Up?
AI processing tools in Photoshop have made some tasks much, much easier.
Skylum Software, makers of Luminar 4, seem to have jumped ahead of PS on at least one task: compositing sky backgrounds in images.
I don't do a lot of this type of photo manipulation. It has, however, become something I am willing to try in certain situations, such as when I get to see and photgraph a landscape I have long wanted to try out--only to find the skies are about as bland as possible due to current weather conditions. Or when I have done an astrophotography shoot and used a rotator that tracks the sky, but generates a blurry horizon: sky replacement, using a combination of my own shots framed and exposed differently, is the way to go.
Luminar 4 does in just a few minutes what PS has taken me hours to do. It can replace a boring sky, or composite in one of my nighttime skies with the landscape I came to shoot, without the long, difficult process of masking that PS does so well. Luminar does it, but much quicker and easier.
I wonder if Adobe will catch up on this feature. It seems to be a common task for many. Luminar 4 in the meantime is well worth having on hand just for this purpose. PS can't keep up at the moment.
