Skylum has shared several impressive AI-based tools the new software will offer - like AI-powered masking that makes the job as easy as couple of mouse clicks, Portrait Bokeh AI, Atmosphere AI, Relight AI, and many more. For those who use Luminar AI already and want to purchase Luminar Neo when it ships, Skylum will also offer migration packs to convert templates for use in the new software.

The company further incentivizes this by promising to offer catalog migration tools for Luminar 4 users to Neo, but has not revealed concrete details about this at the time of publication. However, when it comes to Luminar 4 users - they are being encouraged to upgrade. The company says that current Luminar AI users may or may not find that they want to add Luminar Neo to their workflow for additional flexibility and access to more complex editing tasks - that choice is up to them. Skylum has also noted that it doesn’t intend to add any major additional tools to Luminar AI and will focus more on improvements for it instead.įor Adobe users, Skylum compares Luminar AI closer to Adobe Lightroom and its capabilities of making fast and simple edits, while Luminar Neo is more akin to Adobe Photoshop with options to build refined images. It is clear that Luminar Neo is where the company has invested most resources and time because this editor offers Skylum future possibilities to build upon. “Luminar Neo is not a replacement for Luminar 4, it solves different problems,” the company said during the online briefing.Īccording to Skylum, the new software carries four main values: high performance, the ability to achieve professional results, flexibility, and simplicity that makes it fun to use.

Strangely, the company still doesn’t say that Neo actually replaces Luminar 4, however. Luminar Neo, on the other hand, brings flexibility and choices as a powerful multi-layered editor and is also heavily powered by AI. in its place, the new flagship editor Luminar Neo has taken the spotlight, alongside Luminar AI, which the company says is a simpler and faster editor for less complex editing needs.
