Luminar Neo Review V1.7.1 (Updated for April 2023) In releasing these Extensions, Skylum has said that they’re fulfilling the main vision for Luminar Neo to become a one-stop creative platform for photographers.Īt present, the Extensions Pack includes HDR Merge, Noiseless AI, Upscale AI, AI Background Removal, Supersharp AI, and Focus Stacking, with more Extensions expected in 2023. Luminar Neo is built on a new ‘modular’ framework, which means that big feature updates can be slotted into the core feature set more easily and regularly than before. This is handy if you want to keep using the DAM functionalities of your existing LRC catalog, while taking advantage of the AI tools in Neo, for example. You can also install Neo as a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, allowing it to load from within their respective interfaces. Luminar Neo pairs up with Luminar Share, a basic mobile app for iPhone and Android devices that allows you to wirelessly transfer your smartphone images to be edited in the desktop Neo software or vice versa to be shared on your favourite social media network. Numerous Presets are supplied (with more available to download/buy), which apply instant photo effects to images to alter their look – AI recognises the image and suggests suitable ‘For This Photo’ Presets to save time. In addition to this artificial intelligence wizardry, Luminar Neo provides a solid selection of core editing tools that rival other popular image editors. It’s also useful for more experienced photographers who want to save time or experiment with their image editing. The main attraction of Luminar Neo is the opportunity for a complete novice to carry out immensely complex photo editing tasks with a couple of clicks. Headline AI features include the ‘god-like’ ability to relight a scene, replace the sky, remove powerlines and dust spots, and perform various jaw-dropping portrait enhancements in just a couple of mouse clicks.

Luminar Neo is a powerful image editor for Mac and Windows, powered by AI technologies that can simplify complex photo editing tasks, making them fast and fun.
