Why is this called a mini-course?

I call this a mini-course because it is just a few videos, and focused on one thing: editing landscapes. While it is PACKED with information and tips about how to get the best results, it is not something that will take you days or weeks to get through. It’s about 2 hours of instruction, so you can quickly get through it and start applying these principles to your own images and have an immediate impact on them.

What is this mini-course about?

This mini-course is focused on editing landscapes in Luminar Neo. It includes full, end-to-end video demonstrations of my process, taking the raw file from start to finish. You will learn about my approach to editing, and follow along with my actual raw files as we edit together. You will learn about managing the light, color and detail throughout an image. Each video will also include the use of a lot of masks, so you will also pick up a lot of masking instruction along the way. You will end with a full understanding of how to get the best possible outcomes when editing your own landscapes.

Who is this mini-course for?

This mini-course is for anyone that loves to photograph and edit landscapes photos, from beginner to advanced users. It is based on Luminar Neo and uses very specific tools in Luminar Neo, but the approach is broadly applicable if you also use other apps to edit.

Do I need to be advanced with Luminar already?

This course is beginner-friendly. I start with basic edits and then move into masking in order to control the edit better. While I do go slow and discuss the masks and how/why to apply them, I assume you already have at least a little bit of experience with them. In other words, the background detail explaining every nuance of the masking tools is not as detailed as it is in my Luminar Neo Masking Masterclass, which is focused only on masking. But masking is a critical skill in landscape editing and thus each video has a lot of masking included.

This course contains:

Here are 2 sample Before/After images that we edit in this mini-course

Each involves multiple tools and masks applied for perfect control over the outcome.
