![]() ![]() I think Luminar AI defined what a modern mainstream photo editor should be, and its influence on other products such as Lightroom, ACDSee Ultimate 2023, and ON1 Photo Raw 2023 is plain to see.Ĭongratulations to the guys and gals at Skylum Software, You really hit this one out of the park. I love Luminar AI, and it remains installed on PC to this day – right next to Luminar Neo. I own both, and Luminar Neo is just better. But first, check out my Luminar Neo vs Lumiar AI comparison and Luminar Neo Review. If you are still using Luminar AI and considering an upgrade, I think you should. So, if you can buy a copy of Luminar AI before its discontinued, I recommend that you don’t. Read Luminar Neo Reviewįurthermore, Luminar Neo is a little faster and benefits from premium features such as HDR Merge and Noiseless AI via the Luminar Neo Extension Pack. But today, Luminar Neo has everything Luminar AI has (except Augmented Sky AI!) and much more besides. What now?Īt first, Luminar Neo had enough rough edges and missing features to justify Luminar AI’s existence. It was supremely easy for beginners while offering experts some fancy-fun new tricks and a quicker route to a finished image. (C’mon Skylum!) Birds added with Augmented Sky AI The Peoples Photo Editorįor all the reasons above, Luminar AI was almost everything to everyone. Of course, I have to mention Augmented Sky AI, the only feature Luminar Neo is waiting on and one of the preciously few ways to insert a Flock of Birds, a Planet, or a Giraffe into your photo. And Portrait Bokeh AI-enabled you to add a thousand-dollars worth of background blur to any photo you have ever taken. It was only in Luminar AI where the Sky Replacement matured, offering superior scene relighting and reflections. When the final version comes, you can re-evaluate it, and if something doesn't work out to be like you expected, use the 30-day money-back policy they offer.But most people were drawn to Luminar AI’s box of AI tricks. Would I buy it right now? If you feel like it can work for you, then yes. Despite all the AI automation, you'll have access to tools like channel curves, contrast adjustments, denoise, rolling back and adjusting past settings, automatic modes, overlays, radial and graduated filter, and much more. Now is it worth it? Just like Luminar AI, if you're using free software right now, definitely Luminar has a lot to offer. Sincerely I don't see that much sense, considering most of the exciting parts of AI are in the newly built Neo.Īnd, pro-tip, if you wait a little bit, you can get it in two installments, as a pop-up appears on the screen after a while. Once there, you'll have the option of getting Neo or a bundle containing Luminar Neo + Luminar AI. Clicking the link below will take you to the checkout page. Luminar is a pay once solution, and the software is yours for life. Now, last but not least, let's talk about the price. Not sure it will keep being like this or not. For social share and use on the phone, it's more than enough, but definitely, something to know, especially if you're thinking about doing a backup or sending this file for printing later. The RAW image coming out of the 24MP sensor of the Sony A7iii was 6000x4000, but the file on the smartphone had only 3840x2560. To notice that the resulting image was not in the original size. It's an app that connects to your software on the desktop by scanning a QR code, and while in the same network, you can pass files super quickly between them.

Mostly it seemed to use CPU and the GPU only in small bursts.įinally, the result was devastating for Luminar: Lightroom exported the five images in 2s only, while Luminar took 40+s. Since its launch back in 2021, Luminar Neo has seen many. ![]() There is no synchronizing changes tool yet, but it is promised for the final version.įor a fair comparison, I'm making non-AI changes to five images and comparing them with the same modifications on Lightroom to see how long it takes to create the final JPGs. With 2023 well underway, its time to look back at what has been a busy year for Luminar Neo, the AI photo-editing software from Skylum. HDRs in the Luminar workflow should be handled with the Aurora HDR, and for panoramas doesn't seem to be a tool yet. Now, if you do landscapes and wanna do HDR merges or Panoramas, this software will not do it for you. The super contrast has a lovely roll-off between highlights, mid-tones, and shadows, allowing for a beautiful tuning of shades.Ĭolor harmony helps with white balance and is the color grading tool for you to add color in each level of tones separately, like blue to shadows and orange to highlights.
