Angie Birmingham shows how to use Luminar Neo's Erase tool to remove unwanted elements like bushes, dust spots, and power lines from photos. She demonstrates on a deer image, explaining how to handle transitions between light and dark tones and work on small areas for best results.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Jeff and Angie Photography. Today we are still in our series of how to unleash the power of Luminar Neo. Stay tuned. All right, so next modular or tool is Erase, and I will show you How to use Erase and when I use Erase. And we'll— let's go ahead and jump right in.

So check the links below. I'm not going to go over them in this video, it's too short. All right, let's jump into Neo. Let me bring it up here. All right, here we go. We're working on this same deer. You guys are going to be tired of this deer by the time we're done. All right, so to erase something in Neo, typically, um, It will— let's see, I find that if you do small amounts, it does a better job. So if you just do that and erase, and it is kind of slow on my laptop. Your computer may not be this slow. But see, it did a fairly good job. If you didn't know what you were looking for, you would never miss it. And let's do another one. Where you run into problems with erase is I find that when you go into 2 different tones Typically it struggles when you cross 2 tones. So you got a light and you got a dark. So we'll hit erase, we'll see what it does. Oh, it actually did a good job. All right, well, let's try getting rid of some more of this bush here. Huh, it's doing not a bad job today. Some days it's just bad and other days it's good. I guess it just depends on the image. There we go. Check that out. Before and after. Before, after. Not too bad. And then if you had power poles or dust spots in your screen or in your image, you could hit Remove Dust Spots and it'll go through and it'll get rid of all the little dust spots. And then if you had power lines, you could hit Remove Power Lines. And as long as the power lines are not dark, I would guess would be the correct vision or verbiage, because I found that when it's like in a sunset and your power lines, you can barely see them, Neo has a really hard time removing them. But you can go into Neo and you can easily erase them. The erase modular or erase tool works really good doing that, either automatic or Manually. So here, let's just kind of review what we did today. Before and after. And it didn't do too bad of a job. All right, so don't forget to like and subscribe and ring my bell so you will get notified the next time I post a video.
