![]() As you’ll see, Luminar can achieve basically the same results as Photoshop but in a fraction of your time and cost, and in some cases this is a deal breaker. But if you are not a pro-Photoshop user or you want to combine the two software, then this is where Luminar really shines. ![]() Photoshop allows a level of manual editing that it’s simply not possible with tools such as Luminar. Pretty much all of the functionality it offers can be manually replicated in Photoshop IF you are an advanced user. I’ve been using Photoshop+Luminar 2018 for a long time to edit most of my pictures, but the latest version of Luminar combines the power of AI to help you speed up the photo-editing process, and the results are quite amazing.īefore digging deeper into some of the features of Luminar Neo let me clarify something. One of them is Luminar Neo, a software developed by Skylum, very well known for the quality of its products. I recently wrote a comprehensive guide that includes some of the best AI tools that every photographer should use, or at least be familiar with.

For now, it’s still in the preorder stage and you can get it here. I hope that this article has helped to answer your questions about Luminar NEO and help you decide whether it’s worth buying or not. ![]() Skylum will continue to provide support for it, and we’ll let you know if this changes. Of course, you’ll have to buy a whole new software, although it will come with a discount if you’re already Skylum’s customer.īut worry not, if you’re not ready to pay for another software and you’re perfectly happy with Luminar 4, you can stick with it for now.

Luminar NEO vs. On the other hand, Luminar AI is made more for batch editing, like Lightroom. It’s focused on editing single images and creating artworks. Luminar NEO gives you a lot more options and creative features. In the language of my fellow Adobe CC users, Luminar NEO is closer to Photoshop, and Luminar AI is closer to Lightroom in terms of usability. Well, I’m not sure that we do, to be honest, but Skylum claims that there’s a significant difference between the two. It really has a bunch of options, and every new update gives you more control over the edits, which is something I definitely support. I used Luminar AI for quite some time while I was writing a review. Although, if you don’t know anything about light and composition, no editing software will help you. Also, if you take photos of your products yourself, you can pimp them up in Luminar NEO, too. Folks who have a small business and want to create visuals on their own could also benefit from Luminar NEO, considering that not everyone can or want to pay a designer.

It’s heavily infused with AI technology, so it will do the difficult job instead of you and you can just apply the refinements if you want to. Luminar NEO is designed to be flexible, fast, and most importantly – easy to use. Briefly put, “it’s for people who like to edit.” Dmitry explained that Luminar NEO lets you focus more on your idea and what you want to achieve than thinking how to achieve it. However, Skylum CPO Dmitry Sytnik told DIYP that there’s more to it. When I first reported about Luminar Neo, I had the impression that it was created more for graphic designers than photographers.
