20 Creative Workshops for Luminar NEO
Create looks. Develop your style. Understand image editing.
You’ve taken a photo that’s “okay” – but not quite eye-catching? Then this book is just what you need. In 20 hands-on workshops, you’ll learn how to transform everyday images into powerful, atmospheric photographs with just a few well-aimed steps. No technical overwhelm – just plenty of “aha” moments.
Each workshop takes you straight into the creative process with Luminar NEO: with clear tool instructions, precise values, and easy-to-follow explanations. You’ll learn how looks are created, how to control color and light intentionally – and how to develop your own visual style.
What makes this book special: It includes 30 image files for hands-on editing – perfectly matched to the workshops. This allows you to follow every step and try out your own variations right away.
This is not a theory manual, but an invitation to dive in. Whether portrait, landscape, or creative photo idea – all you need is the software and a bit of curiosity.
What awaits you in these workshops
From creative tilt-shift effects and dramatic portraits to experimental layer techniques – this book offers a broad range of looks and editing styles. Each workshop is built around a specific visual concept and walks you through the steps to achieve it in Luminar NEO. It’s never just about effects – but always about visual language, style, and expression.
