“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
Uses AI to automatically identify and effortlessly remove power lines from landscape photographs to create a pristine image free from clutter.
Windows & Mac
Layers
More readily combine different images into unique compositions and include new elements from built-in overlays and object libraries.
