HOW TO USE LUMINANCER

Luminancer works best in dark or evenly lit environments. Optimum results can be achieved when the brightest spots are isolated in the frame (i.e. candle flame, headlight, flashlight)

---------------------------------------------

Camera View

Camera view is the default starting point of Luminancer without using any options or effects. For beginners, we recommend you experiment in this mode first with any bright light source. Note: This is the easiest mode for Light Painting.

Pressing the Snapshot camera button button will freeze the video frame and bring up the preview/edit mode. Advanced effects [Light] [Color] [Trails] are explained below.

Light Painting

To write with light use a small bright light source that is not pointed directly at the lens. Pointing directly at the lense may cause an unwanted light flare.

Snapshot camera button (Preview and Edit)

The Preview mode (by pressing camera button) allows you to:

1. Turn Rays on and off for radial light effects

2. Show all FILTER options [NEW 1.1]

3. Save the image that you see on screen

4. Start over by clicking DONE (goes back to default video view)

Snapshot/Preview Mode

Luminancer makes it easier to generate pre-determined settings or filters (below) to enhance your images.
