This beautiful forest image is from Simon Matzinger at Unsplash. Below is a short video on how to use this filter. ![]() This image also used the Golden Hour filter (Amount 23 and Saturation 47), which is a fairly new filter. Randomize (40) – This is kind of nice to have – makes is so all the beams are not exactly the same Penetration (67) – Major cool slider as it determines overall how strong this effect will look in your image ![]() Warmth (70) – Determines how yellow your sun is and once again watch out for any yellow in the leaves for example that can get too bright Glow Amount (73) – I do not see much difference between this slider and the Glow Radius – both have an effect Glow Radius (71) – Looks like how bright the glow is as it radiates out from the sun dot Sun Radius (30) – Size of the actual Sun dot Warmth (57) – warms up the image but watch all the yellow tones as they brighten up also Number (50) – number of beams – goes from 0 to 100 Look (69) – this goes from 1 to 100 and seems like a brightness slider-can bring in the “look” ![]() Ray Amount (36) – this appears to me to be more like an layer opacity slider and is in a lot of their other filter Sun Rays – X(21)/Y(20) – this allows you to set the rays wherever you want in the imageĪll the sliders go from 0 to 100. Here are the sliders in this filter which and my setting in Parentheses for this image: I think you will see a lot of this “God Rays” effect in the coming months. This is an image taken in my neighborhood right after Hurricane Irma and actually shows a little flooding on the floor of the little forest. Below is what the RAW file looked like before just Basic Panel changes were done before going into PS. A red channel luminance Curves Adjustment Layer was added to add just a little contrast in the highlights, and a orange hue was used for a Gradient Fill Adjustment Layer vignette set to 39%. With this image a Color Lookup Adjustment Layer using Edgy Amber preset was applied, set to Soft Light blend mode and 41% layer opacity – note Luminar’s new LUT filter will let you use lookup tables created in PS or any you have bought. I will cover more of this once the program has been released. I had to do some more work in PS as the green was a little overwhelming but it could easily have been done in Luminar. 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.
