Luminar Neo

Luminar (by Skylum) is a photo editing application renowned for its AI-powered features that simplify complex editing tasks. It includes a variety of one-click or slider-based tools to enhance images intelligently.

For example, with Sky Replacement AI, Luminar can automatically detect and replace the sky in a landscape photo, adjusting the scene’s lighting and colors to match the new sky. For portraits, it offers AI enhancements that smooth skin, remove blemishes, and improve facial details (brightening eyes, whitening teeth, etc.

) without manual retouching. Other smart features include an AI Structure tool for detail enhancement (adding clarity without over-sharpening faces) and content-aware object removal to erase unwanted elements like power lines or blemishes in the background. Luminar’s interface is user-friendly, allowing photographers to achieve dramatic improvements by simply moving sliders or applying presets. It can be used as a standalone editor or as a plugin for Photoshop/Lightroom, bringing advanced AI capabilities into the workflow for both hobbyists and professionals.
