You can see how natural and sunny it looked by setting the sun effect right at the corner of the castle near the dangling tree branch. The screenshot shows how the image looked as it was brought back into Photoshop. To show you the interface, I took a screenshot of the settings used for the effect on the Windsor Castle hidden garden above. I tried to be a little subtle with its use as it seems like it could easily be overdone. The image above was enhanced using this wonderful filter. This tool auto masks the light so it passes through trees, around mountains and even wraps around objects.” What I find intriguing is that it actually adds a soft lighting effect to rather plain images. Luminar says on “Sun Rays adds volumetric lighting to create beautiful beams of light in your image. I think everyone who has looked at the new program is totally intrigued with this new Sun Rays filter. The final release is scheduled for November 16th and this plug-in has been updated for both Windows and Mac users to be a full-blown RAW editor besides adding interesting filter effects. I believe this filter is one I would use which is a very good reason why I would buy this program. This week I have been trying out an updated beta version of Luminar 2018 working (for website link, see sidebar at my Tidbits Blog) – had a few problems so I am sticking with mainly the Sun Rays filter as it worked beautifully and may be the best one in program.
