Benefits of Luminar Neo

Luminar Neo builds on four principles:

1. Luminar Neo gives creators unique and innovative technologies that help them solve various tasks, from eliminating boring routines to fulfilling creative ideas and achieving results that seemed impossible. Luminar Neo is industry-leading and designed to provide satisfying results effortlessly using AI-powered tools such as Accent^AI, Sky^AI (replaces the sky automatically), Skin^AI, Sky Enhancer^AI, Structure^AI (adjusts detail and clarity), Body^AI, Atmosphere^AI (adds weather effects based on image depth reconstruction), Portrait Bokeh^AI, and Supercontrast, as well as Relight^AI (virtual 3D light source emulation), Remove Powerlines (removes power lines from skies), Mask^AI makes photo editing and batch processing easy.
2. Provide maximum flexibility in the creative image editing process. In Luminar Neo, artists can use numerous raw files as image layers and can apply any tool to any layer, in any order, multiple times, and with unique masks. Save everything they did with the image as a preset for later use. They can also easily fix mistakes by modifying previous steps and always retain full control over the image. And with Luminar Neo, creators can enjoy the editing process thanks to the beautiful minimalist interface.
3. Develop each tool to help Luminar artists achieve high-quality, professional image editing results. With the help of professional photographers, we refine each tool to ensure high-precision color processing without clipping the tonal range. We design tools with input from professional photographers to ensure we deliver the highest quality and meet users’ needs. Luminar Neo includes unique tools designed especially for the needs of professionals, such as Supercontrast, Structure^AI, and Color Harmony. Our raw processing engine provides high-precision color processing and makes it possible to retain the full dynamic range in shadows and highlights. Raw denoising at the demosaic stage provides outstanding results, even for images with strong luminosity and color noise.
4. Strive for high performance so that anyone can realize complex creative ideas, even on average hardware, without loss of efficiency. We designed our new Luminar engine to allow users to apply various tools to an image without significant performance loss. Luminar Neo works faster than previous versions of Luminar when importing, viewing, and exporting images, and it uses less memory all around.
