About Luminar Neo
What it is
Luminar Neo is photo editing software with AI tools for the tasks that used to mean masking and layers: replacing a sky, relighting a scene, removing power lines and retouching portraits. It runs standalone or as a plugin.
Why it's different
It is built for photographers who want a good result quickly rather than full manual control, and the specific tools are strong, sky replacement especially, which is far better than doing it by hand for anyone who is not a retoucher. It is not a replacement for a professional editor. Cataloguing large libraries is weaker than the established tools, it is demanding on an older machine, and the automatic adjustments have a recognisable look if left at their defaults.
How people use it
Landscape and travel photographs needing sky or light work. Portrait retouching without learning frequency separation. Photographers who want a finished image in minutes. Pull the sliders back from where the presets land, because the default strength is set to impress in a demonstration rather than to look real.
