Works pretty well. You can see a little bit of ghosting.

I’ve noticed the fringing in some photos too...but you gotta give credit for what it does with just a click.

The job Luminar does is nothing short of incredible. To the point where you can spot a Luminar image a mile away. Particularly images with amazing arcs of the Milky Way over a barn, etc. And don't get me started on the Giraffe.
The key with any sky replacement program is to run the effect in a separate layer and do some opacity blending
to "mellow out" the effects.
At this point, I am abandoning Landscape Pro in favor of Luminar 4.

I too have dumped Landscape Pro for Luminar 4. It also makes a good editor for the basics.

I've not found anything to compete with Luminar 4 when it comes to sky swaps. You can use any sky, flip them if needed and work on the blending to your hearts content. The masking is nothing short of incredible.

I sure enjoy the sky replacement feature. Luminar 4 is great software.

I am very much into "playful pp" but I remember one tip from a few years ago: if you don't go far enough, people will just think it's a mistake.
With your hummingbird pic, the sky indicates a low angle of sun (near sunset or shortly after sunrise) and filtered by the clouds. The light shining directly on your subject is very bright and coming from behind you. As long as you're OK with that, then so am I
Have fun!

Wow...who wouldn't give Luminar 4 a try? Imagine what will be available with one "click" a year from now and beyond. Luminar will likely force other developers into this technology just to remain competitive...all good for us!
Cheers!

I have both Landscape Pro & Luminar 4...and like others here....Luminar 4 is the clear winner. With Landscape Pro, the user must "paint" over trees and buildings and other such objects sticking into the sky...with add and delete of masking to get it just right, and even with that extra work, the result is not as clean as Luminar 4. Sometimes in Landscape Pro, even a thin light pole will show 1/2 of the pole take on the sky....yuk! I wonder if the technology used in Luminar 4 is proprietary (patented), and if other companies can duplicate what Luminar 4 has done?

Your comment is interesting as I am unable to detect any fringing on these photos. Perhaps new glasses are in order.
