I’ve been a Dreamstime member for many years, and I’ve had more photos rejected than I’ve had accepted. After uploading a picture yesterday, I’m happy to report Dreamstime accepted my photo. Which photo? I’m glad you asked. 😜

Dreamstime Accepted My Photo Of Gaeta

What made this particular photo special was that I had enhanced it with Luminar 4. You can see the before and after photos in the image above. As you can see, the ‘after image’ is way more dramatic than the original one. I doubt that Dreamstime would have accepted the original image.

You can see how easy it was to change the sky of the original image in my Being Creative With Luminar 4 video. It was so easy I decided to create another Fiverr Gig. The above video also shows me editing another three videos.

I first wrote about Luminar when I purchased Luminar 3. I called that post, Easy To Use Photo Editor. That was followed by my Luminar 4 Review and then by Luminar 4 And Raw Files. That final post was in reply to those who were saying that Luminar 4 would not work with RAW files because it was so slow. The way to prove that was to show it in action via my Does Luminar 4 Process Raw Images video.

I said at the beginning of this post that it was reasonably difficult to get your photo accepted bt Dreamstime because they have such high standards. Which is why you get a sense of achievement when one of your photos is accepted.

Everyone loves Irish jokes, and today I’m posting some of the funniest Irish jokes I’ve come across. However, before we get to today’s Funniest Irish jokes, and yes I know it’s totally unrelated, I want to give my latest YouTube Laughaholics video a plug. It’s my Funny Political Jokes video. Feel free to leave a comment on the video and don’t forget to share it with your friends. You may even want to subscribe to my channel. I’m always looking for new subscribers.

OK, on with the Funniest Irish Jokes.

Funniest Irish Jokes To Make You LOL

Paddy is driving home from the local Pub and gets pulled over by a local cop. The cop says, “Good evening, sir, do you know why I pulled you over?”

Paddy replies, “Well, I guess you think I’m drunk and that I shouldn’t be driving.”

The cop tells Paddy he’s correct and says to him, “Tell you what, my shift is almost over and I’m feeling generous. If you can recite the alphabet backwards, I’ll let you off.

Without hesitation, Paddy recited, “ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA.”

The officer, obviously impressed and believing that Paddy is sober, says, “Wow, I sure as hell couldn’t do that even if I was sober.”

To which Paddy replies, “Me Neither.”

Then there’s the one where Paddy and O’Brien were working on a building site. All of a sudden, a tile comes crashing down slicing off one of Paddy’s ears. O’Brien finds it, picks it up and says to Paddy, “Is this your ear, Paddy?”

Paddy replies, “Of course not, mine had a pencil behind it.”

And the final Irish joke for today is hysterical.

Paddy and his two mates are talking at a bar. O’Brien says, “I think my wife is having an affair with the electrician. The other day I found wire cutters under my bed, and I know they’re not mine.”

Murphy then says, “I think my wife is having an affair with the plumber. The other day I found a wrench under the bed, and it’s definitely not mine.”

To which Paddy replied; “I wish I had your troubles. I think my wife is having an affair with a horse.”

As his two friends stare at him in disbelief, Paddy takes a massive gulp of his beer and after putting his mug down says, “I’m bloody serious. The other night I came home, and I found a bloody jockey under our bed. 😂

Luminar 4 Review

I prepurchased Luminar 4 over a month ago, and it finally became available today, and the first thing I did was to produce my Luminar 4 First Impressions video. And from there, my Luminar 4 Review, i.e., this post.

Luminar 4 1st impressions

It’s safe to say that my first impressions of Luminar 4 are that it was well worth the wait. As you can see from the video, while the one-touch AI intelligence of the Luminar 4 program is as good as Luminar 3, see my Luminar 3 review here, it has so much more to offer.

I particularly love how the unique AI-powered technologies allow me to replace the sky in a single click. You can see in my Luminar 4 video just how easily I can achieve this transformation. There’s also a vast selection of skies from which I can select.

People who watch my video will see that it was the first time that I’ve ever used Luminar 4. That was my intention as I wanted them to experience what I was about to go through upon installing Luminar 4 for the first time. My clumsiness was their clumsiness, and my learning curves their learning curve.

I wanted to be completely honest with them. I certainly didn’t want to misrepresent any part of the software falsely. Prospective buyers can see from my video that even though I still had a lot to learn about using Luminar 4 correctly, it was still effortless for anyone to make their dreary photos spectacular.

The one thing I couldn’t get to work correctly was the AI Portrait tool. I think the reason for that being that I didn’t have a proper portrait to test it on. I’ll make sure I learn about that and other features before I produce my next Luminar 4 video.
