About
Add natural depth to your images with 27 hand-cut foreground overlays — lush branches, leaves, ferns, and grasses that frame your scene as nature would. Placed along the edges of your frame, they create the intimate feeling of peeking through foliage, adding dimension and atmosphere to landscapes, portraits, and creative composites alike. Each overlay is deliberately sharp, giving you control: keep it crisp or add blur for a soft, shallow depth-of-field look.

The story
Collection Features:
27 different overlays: A versatile selection of foreground greenery — leafy branches, conifer twigs, ferns, and grasses — reaching into the frame from all directions.
High resolution: Each overlay looks flawless, even on large canvases and prints.
Transparent background: Easily place each overlay into any photo without extra processing.
PNG format: Universally compatible with Luminar Neo and any app supporting layers.
Deliberately unblurred: You decide the depth — keep the foliage sharp or soften it for a natural depth-of-field effect.
Application:
Open your photo in Luminar Neo or any other app that supports layers. Import the selected Foreground Greenery overlay as a new layer, then position and scale it along the edge of your frame. Adjust the overlay’s colors and tones to match the light and mood of your image. You can also combine multiple overlays on separate layers to create a denser, more immersive composition. For a soft, natural-looking foreground, simply apply an optional blur to the overlay layer. Save or export your image — done!
Tip:
The overlays look great in front of your scene, but you can also partially mask them behind objects for an even more integrated look. For a realistic depth-of-field effect, merge your layers and apply a lens blur or bokeh effect to the foreground. Experiment with the overlay opacity for subtler results, then apply your color grading across the final composite. Your creativity has no limits!
Please note: The greenery in this collection was AI-generated (using Magnific). Each overlay was hand-cut and carefully refined in Photoshop and Camera Raw.
