I moved that up to 87%.Īnd then we end up with the image below. There is a slider above it called “Assign Original Image Color”. If you want to know my settings for this particular image, I used:Īgain, and I can’t stress this enough – every image is different! It will look a little over-baked, but don’t worry about that yet.ĭo this and repeat for the other two channels as well.Īfter I did all 3, I re-checked Display Composite Image. What you want to do is drag the sliders until your image has some real “pop” for that channel. The more you play with them, the more you will find a balance that looks good. Then go into each of the three colors beneath and begin “Playin’ with the sliders”.

It’s also where Scott Kelby missed the boat in his review.īe sure to click Split Channels. The next step was going to the Plugins menu and chose Lucis Pro 6.0.Īnd here is where the rubber hits the road. I then use that duplicated layer, which will be on top, to run the Lucis Art filter on. The very first thing I do is Duplicate the layer. It’s an okay photo… but really there is a lot of black in it, eh? There wasn’t THAT much black when I was there… So let’s make it look like it did when I was actually standing there, shall we? Did you notice how the final result looks kinda like an HDR pic? It’s really amazing how Lucis Pro 6.0 can make an image look like an HDR shot. Like my other tutorial, we’ll get started by showing a few images that have been made with Lucis Pro 6.0:įirst, we’ll take a look at that train pic from Leipzig, Germany. Another way to look at it is to consider the cost of a good lens which could run you over $1,000, and it would probably not be as flexible as this software! If you want your images to pop more than your competitors, then it is certainly a nice way to go. Lucis Pro 6.0 really does some unique things, and because of its high price point, it keeps many people out of the market. The nice lady Barbara that started the company will give you an extra 15% off if you use the Lucis coupon code “ STUCKINCUSTOMS” at the end of checkout. I find myself primarily using Lucis Pro 6.0 the more I learn about it. Both products are plugins for Photoshop, and they work in a fairly similar way. This is a full robust program that has more functionality than their lesser product, LucisArt 3. This review is of their flagship product, Lucis Pro 6.0. Perhaps you arrived here from my HDR Tutorial, which you either found intoxicating or toxicating.įirst things first, we should clarify the various lines of the Lucis product line, because they can be confusing.

Welcome to the Lucis Pro 6.0 Tutorial! I hope you find it useful.
