Masking edits is a convenient technique to keep parts of an image untouched while selecting objects for enhancement.
A traditional photo editing app with a masking tool can typically only select human figures automatically. Luminar Neo automatically masks nine types of objects that are recognized by the AI at its core. If you don’t see the list of masks Luminar Neo probably doesn’t recognize the objects in your photo. Try a different one!
Yes, if you duplicate a layer, the mask is duplicated too.
There's a big variety! The Luminar Neo photo editor detects up to nine separate elements in an image for the perfect mask: people, skies, buildings, vehicles, water, plants, mountains, and both natural and artificial ground.
Of course! You can create any art you want with the help of AI masking. Additionally, you can use various brushes with your mask, such as the gradient brush. Fill the mask or play with transparency and blend it with other parts of the image. Luminar Neo is valuable for photography as well as graphic design.
Mask AI is a smart tool that eliminates the tedious and time-consuming work of manual masking. Mask AI not only recognizes the main subject but automatically detects separate elements in a photo: people, skies, architecture, transportation, flora, water, mountains, natural ground, and artificial ground. When you press Mask AI, Luminar Neo automatically detects all the elements that are present in your photo. Then you can effortlessly apply the mask simply pressing the button with the name of the element that you want to mask. Additionally, in the Mask Actions tab you can show, fill, clear, copy, paste or invert the detected mask.
Masking in photo editing refers to the process of selectively hiding or revealing certain portions of an image. It involves creating a "mask" that determines which parts of the image should be visible and which parts should be concealed. It's handy for applying adjustments only to a part of the image.
Absolutely! Using the Luminar Neo's image masking tool, you can mask a picture with different objects. The AI-driven approach makes it even easier and more precise than manual masking, especially for complex shapes or intricate details.
