Luminosity masks allow you to create gorgeous and realistic edits in Photoshop. Lumenzia allows you to use use them quickly and easily. Its advanced JavaScript engine handles all the luminosity masking complexity for you in the background, so all you need to think about is making beautiful images.
How it works
• Preview to easily choose the right preset or custom mask.
• Apply the preview as a selection or mask.
• Refine by location/color, clean up rough edges, and paint on the mask non-destructively for perfect results.
Key Benefits
• Select and mask anything, visually! With Lumenzia, you get a full screen preview of the mask before you apply it. Interactively click on the image to select (or deselect) the tones/colors to the degree you wish. No guesswork with adding and subtracting channels. Isolate the mask to to specific parts of the image with a simple selection. And you can combine group masks to easily see the overall mask impact. It's never been faster and easier to create or customize the right mask. And the masks are created in 16-bits, allowing for smooth transitions in extreme masks.
• Click to pick! You don't have to know which mask to use, just use the built-in zone and range tools to create the right mask automatically.
