Rediscovering Lumenzia

The spirit of creativity moves in mysterious ways, and it stimulated my soul quite unconsciously, but nevertheless emphatically, to focus once again on luminosity masks. I had discovered the power of luminosity masks in photoshop about two or so years ago, and acquired Greg Benz’s Photoshop Extension, Lumenzia, a year ago. Greg has produced an exceptionally powerful editing program for photoshop that makes the difficult to achieve  fairly easy, if one knows what they are doing.

I have found that Greg’s Lumenzia Program is quite extraordinary, not only in what it is able to accomplish regarding luminosity masks, but he is able to apply these in a full spectrum of editing of photo files. Not only that, but he is constantly updating and refining his creative tools.

Now, I am far from being an ambassador for Lumenzia, but I have to call a spade a spade, and I have used and am beginning to see that what he has created is quite powerful, especially regarding the product cost point.

That being said, I am still in the process of fully trying to utilize the program he has created, but so far believe that I will be using it for some time.
