“Thanks Nicole purchased Luminar right afer Christmas and have been trying to follow the online webinars but my internet connection out here in the boonies is terrible. It even took me awhile to download your lessons and save them. They have been a great help for me. Again many thanks.

Thanks for always providing some great free stuff. Love your videos and creative packs.
Hi! In Photoshop, is there anyway to remove some of the snowflakes? Like there is one RIGHT on the girls face that I would love to erase but it doesn’t seem to let me!
I would recommend masking the snow overlay layer. Add a Layer Mask and paint over the mask with Black. The layer might be a Smart Object, which is why it won’t let you erase over it. Masking should do the trick!
Just ordered the $15 Winbterwonderland and overlay. Can’t get it to open in Luminar 4. Is there a problem that I can’t figure out>
Thank you for the overlay!
This is a great tutorial! I’m going to try this out on some photos I’ve taken this winter.
