Luminar Neo tutorial: edit flower photos from mobile

This Luminar Coffee Break tutorial follows a phone photograph of Florida wildflowers through edits in Luminar Mobile and Luminar Neo. The presenter imports the image and continues the adjustments started on his phone. He says the mobile workflow cannot mask in the example shown, so he uses it for preliminary edits before continuing in Neo.

Starting again with the original, he crops the 9:16 image using the Facebook feed preset. Because the photo is not a RAW file, he begins with Enhance AI, then adjusts black and white tones and shadows to draw attention to the flower. He applies Bokeh AI to soften the background and explains that the tool, formerly limited to portraits, now also handles subjects such as flowers and pets.

The edit continues with Light Depth, Mystical and a vignette. Strong Light Depth settings produce outlines he dislikes around parts of the flowers. He uses the brush's erase mode to remove the effect locally and reduces its intensity.

A second flower photo includes a partially cut-off welcome sign. The presenter discusses how readable text can distract from the subject, mentions Erase, GenErase and GenSwap as removal options, and chooses to crop the sign out. The lesson centers on composition and selective adjustments that bring a snapshot closer to the photographer's intended image.
