Another way of duplicating Lucis Art. Using Topaz Adjust and playing around with native Photoshop filters, layers, curves, color balance and levels.

bro, nice PPs..pero it's not Lucis, you just softened the skin of your subjects, sa Lucis it's more like HDR where you can see strong details without under or overexposing almost all parts of the photo, murag m.accentuate jd sa Lucis ang wrinkles sa skin, crumpled shirts, etc, anything that has to do with depth ky maklaro jd..though naa jd nay softening gamay ghpn ky too much detail ky bati mn tnawn, so sakto2 lng..

i like your workflow using PS on softening..nndt og outcome =)

try to look at nlng the difference with detail sa duha ka photos, you can see the details on the rock very well, as well as the creases on the shirt..

you right bro, it's not lucis art. it's an alternative to lucis. you're also right i add smoothness. i have the real alternative output with settings at the bottom. i set that setting to match the out from lucis art during the caricature exhibit in california when a certain group of editors outsourced one of their entry. that's the 30th attempt i sent to them before it passed and get paid. hehehe! nakakaloka sila sa ka strict, dili nako mo usab pa.
