Decorating for Christmas was in full swing this past week. A favourite ornament of mine is this one that was a gift from my Mom:
For this edit, I was going for a nostalgic feel, something that film and vintage filters tend to express. In this case, the filter is called “vintage film” and was a good starting point:
Luminar Look applied, Vintage Film set at 78%.
The Made with Luminar Series
This image is part of a project I am calling Made with Luminar. What the images in this series have in common is the software used to edit them, Luminar 3. As with my usual blog posts particulars of the camera settings can be found in the caption below the image. I’ll then explain what other filters and edits have been applied, often mentioning what layer and therefore order that they were applied. The text of these posts includes any Luminar “Looks” that have been applied to the photo. Each look is a series of presets that are applied to the photo. Where applicable I will mention what changes I have made to any of the looks. A full explanation of looks is available here on their website, https://skylum.com/luminar/user-guides/chapter-14-working-with-luminar-looks
You can assume basic edits have been applied. My most common edits are cropping, detail enhancement, and vignette. Specific questions or thoughts on the image are welcome in the comment section below.
Cheers!

What a beautiful ornament, Amy! You’ve treated it lovingly 🙂 🙂 I haven’t got beyond cleaning and putting cards up. Today might be the day! (after our walk this morning 🙂 )

Walk always comes first 🙂 At least you have the cleaning bit done, that’s the least pleasant part, at least in my opinion.

It seems everyone’s favorites are the ornaments that have meaning behind them, no matter what fancy alternatives the marketers provide. Yours is very special Amy. Happy holidays to you
