Now with lifetime license... textures.... overlays

“There is a fine line between the photo you took and the photo you imagined. Often, small details make the difference. In Luminar Neo, we’ve built an editor to help you create the photo you imagined.”
— Ivan Kutanin, Skylum CEO

Luminar Neo Official Launch

At last the long awaited release of the first definitive, public-ready version of Luminar Neo. So, what should you expect and what should you know about the lifetime license offer?

If you have been following Skylum software since the company’s Macphun days, you’ll already know about the frustration some users are having with the more recent confusion trying to define the difference between Luminar AI and Luminar Neo. Hey, software development isn’t an easy game and pleasing everyone is equally as difficult.

The good news is that from today, users can choose between a 1-year subscription and a lifetime license of Luminar Neo. See the details below for both NEW and EXISTING users of Skylum software.

What to expect from Luminar Neo

For me personally, I do not see Luminar Neo as a ‘bulk editing’ solution, although it can be used in such a way. Copying edits from one image to another is simple, enough. However, depending on your computers processing power and general specs, Luminar will obviously respond to a computer with suitable specifications, that should go without saying.

RelightAI works by building a precise 3D Depth Map of any 2D image, in order to provide a quick, targeted control of scene lighting.

• Artist can focus on parts of an image and make corrections to isolated  problem areas leaving the rest of the image untouched.

• Combined with other scene aware tools, precisely adjust the lighting of any photo.

• Independently adjust lighting and colour warmth for far and near objects. 

• Easily fix portraits where the foreground subject is underexposed. 

Windows & Mac

Remove Dust Spots

Automatically identify and seamlessly remove small artifacts, like dust spots, from every photo with the help of AI.

Remove Power Lines

Windows & Mac

Layers

More readily combine different images into unique compositions and include new elements from built-in overlays and object libraries.

Currently, whilst both applications can be installed on the same computer. However, both applications cannot exchange editing data and convert libraries, due to the different engine build for Luminar Neo.

Typically, there will be a utility for converting Luminar AI Templates for use with Luminar Neo…

Yes, you can use both Luminar Neo and Luminar AI with the following:

1. Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6)

2. Photoshop (from version CS5)

3. Photos for macOS

4. Microsoft Photos (coming soon in an update relates to Windows 11)

Based on a later AI technology engine and designed for creative tasks with maximum performance and flexibility, Luminar Neo is the creative image editor for creators seeking high-quality editing results with the same level of satisfaction you get with Luminar AI.

Luminar AI is not an upgrade to Luminar 4. However, fills the space for your typical professional photographer, who is not necessarily skilled with photo editing, at least not the practice of creating masks, layers and all the other technical preparatory actions that need to be in place before even committing the actual desired treatment…
