About Lumenzia

Lumenzia is a premier Luminosity Masking panel for Adobe Photoshop created by Greg Benz. It allows photographers to create advanced selections based on brightness (luminosity), color, and saturation without the steep learning curve of manual channel masking.

• Non-Destructive: High-quality results with smaller file sizes.
• Visual Workflow: Real-time previews of masks before applying them.
• Efficiency: Built-in tools for sharpening, dodging and burning, and exposure blending.
