How to download and activate Luminar Neo?

Your download links will be waiting for you in your Skylum account.

Please note that your Luminar Neo purchase is automatically linked to your billing email, so make sure to create a Skylum account with that email or log in to your existing Skylum account linked to that email.

  1. Go to the Skylum account login page here.
  2. If you already have an account, sign in with your Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or Apple account, or sign in with your email and password.
  3. If you don’t have a Skylum account, you can create one here. Make sure to choose the same email you used when purchasing Luminar Neo.
  4. If you have a Skylum account but purchased Luminar Neo using an email address not tied to it, you can merge your accounts in the My Software > App isn’t showing? section of your Skylum account.
  5. In your account, you will see a My Software tab with all of your Skylum software, including Luminar Neo.
  6. Find the tab with Luminar Neo and download it by clicking the Download button.


You will be able to activate Luminar Neo by logging in to your Skylum account. No license key or activation code is required.

Luminar Neo launches in trial mode when you open it for the first time. When you start Luminar Neo, you’ll see a window that prompts you to log in to your Skylum account.

Please note that your Luminar Neo purchase is automatically linked to the billing email address you provided, so make sure to log in to your Skylum account connected to that email address or create a new Skylum account tied to your billing email address if needed.

To activate Luminar Neo:

  • If you already have a Skylum account, sign in with a linked Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or Apple account, or sign in with your email and password.
  • If you don’t have a Skylum account, click Register and create one. You can sign up with a Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or Apple account, or you can sign up using your email and a password.
  • If you have a Skylum account but purchased Luminar Neo using an email address not tied to it, you can merge your accounts in the My Software > App isn’t showing? section of your Skylum account.
  • Congratulations! You’ve activated Luminar Neo.

Still don’t see Luminar Neo in your account? Our support team will help you with that.

Which cameras are supported?

Luminar Neo RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.  Also, we regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide excellent support for new cameras. 

Can I use Luminar Neo as a plug-in?

Luminar Neo is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in. 


Luminar Neo can be used as a plug-in or extension for:


  • Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6);
  • Photoshop (from version CS5);
  • Photos for macOS.

Will I be able to access my Luminar Neo Extensions in the plugin mode?

All Extensions that work with a single image (such as Noiseless AI) will be accessible when you use Luminar Neo as a plugin.

Also, you can use the HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, and Upscale AI Extensions from the Lightroom plugin. Achieve even more impressive results with any editing workflow.

Moreover, please keep in mind that if you invoke Luminar Neo from Photoshop or select the “Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments” option in Lightroom Classic, you’ll get a TIFF file in the Luminar plugin. 

Therefore, if you need to work with the RAW file in Luminar, you need to upload it in standalone mode. 

Alternatively, using Lightroom Classic, you can choose ‘Export Original’ after right-clicking the photo > Export > Luminar Neo > Open Source Files. 

What is going to change in January 2024?

Starting from January 2024, Luminar Neo will no longer offer separate Extensions nor the Extension Pack for sale as a one-time purchase. We will also no longer offer the 2023/24 Creative Journey Passes for lifetime customers wishing to access generative technologies.

Our goal is to simplify the process of accessing all the latest technologies in Luminar Neo for all of our customers. The most convenient way to do that will be to purchase a Pro subscription.


Instead of releasing individual Extensions throughout the year, Luminar Neo will have two major product updates per year with exciting new features and improvements, and regular minor updates addressing performance issues and bug fixes. All the Extensions you’ve already purchased will still be available to you.

Are you the owner of a Lifetime license with/without CJP or Extensions? Learn more how these changes will affect you

What’s the difference between Luminar X Membership and the Luminar Neo Pro Subscription?

Luminar Neo’s Pro Monthly and Yearly Subscription plans give you access to the Luminar Neo app, all updates or new versions, as well as all Extensions available during the subscription period. 



Luminar X Membership is a paid subscription for those who already own or subscribe to Luminar and want to take their creativity to the next level. Luminar X members enjoy monthly delivery of creative assets, including Luminar Presets, LUTs, and Sky textures. 


Important: Luminar X Membership doesn't include the Luminar app or its Extensions. 

Where do I find my Extensions after installation?

Since HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, Panorama Stitching, and Upscale AI require dragging the images to the tool from the catalog, they are available in the Catalog tab on the right-side panel.

Share your adventures at top quality(169)


You can find Noiseless AI, Supersharp AI, Magic Light AI in the Edit tab > Tools panel:

Share your adventures at top quality(170)


Access the Background Removal AI Extension in the Edit panel > Layer Properties > Masking > Background Removal AI.


Share your adventures at top quality(171)


What happens to my Luminar Neo and Extensions if I cancel the subscription?

Canceling your subscription means you won’t be charged at the beginning of the next billing cycle. You’ll be able to keep using Luminar Neo and its Extensions for the duration of the paid period.


If you owned a lifetime license to Luminar Neo and any Extensions before subscribing, you will be able to use Luminar Neo and those Extensions for which you have a lifetime license after your subscription period ends. However, you will not get access to new Extensions and will lose access to any Extensions that were available to you during the subscription period but for which you do not own a lifetime license. You will also not have access to possible future new versions of the Luminar app.

What is Luminar Share?

Luminar Share is an app that allows Luminar Neo users to transfer photos from desktop to mobile (and in the opposite direction) wirelessly.

It also makes it easy for users to share edited photos to their social media accounts.


Features of Luminar Share include:

  • Wireless transfer of photos between the desktop Luminar Neo app and the Luminar Share mobile app
  • Mirroring of photos from Luminar Neo on a mobile device
  • Easy sharing of photos to social media


The Luminar Share app is available on both Android and iOS and is free for all Luminar Neo users.

What is Luminar Neo? Is Luminar Neo the next version of LuminarAI?

Luminar Neo is an innovative image editor powered by AI technologies of the future that simplifies complex editing routines and enables creators to bring their boldest ideas to life. And enjoy it.



  • Get speed and flexibility in your editing with our brand-new core engine and layers workflow.
  • The new engine we built for Luminar Neo is based on all the best solutions from our combined and evolved experience for maximum performance and creativity and is developed for achieving complex creative results.
  • Adjust the light in your photo for creative control over the lighting in a scene. You can control the exposure of an image based on the distance from the lens to independently adjust the background and foreground exposure.
  • Automatically remove spots on your images caused by dust and dirt on your lens and sensor.
  • Clean up unwanted power lines from the skies in your cityscapes.
  • Experiment with infinite creative possibilities by effortlessly combining two or more images in a shot.

...And much more.


The new technologies and innovative user experience in Luminar Neo make creative image editing simple and fun.


Luminar Neo is a quintessence of all our applications released to date. The software will retain almost all Luminar AI’s features and offer a great variety of innovations permeating the entire workflow for the best experience with the product inspired by you. 

This version will have even more editing power under the hood. Channeling your inspiration into mind-blowing photos has never been easier with all-new cutting-edge AI-powered tools that will add up to the already existing go-to collection of Luminar AI. Intelligent tools such as AccentAI, SkyAI (replaces the sky automatically and adds water reflections), SkinAI, Sky EnhancerAI, StructureAI (adjusts detail and clarity), BodyAI, AtmosphereAI(adds weather effects based on image depth reconstruction), Portrait BokehAI, and Supercontrast, as well as the upcoming virtual light source emulation, automated removal of power lines and dust spots, and many more, are industry-leading and are designed to provide satisfying results effortlessly. You’ll always retain complete control over your photos thanks to the convenient interface.


To make the editing process smoother, we’ve built a powerful module-based engine that provides an overall better performance and convenience. It allows users to apply lots of different tools to an image without significant performance loss. The software will also enjoy ample opportunities for future optimization. Thanks to the new architecture, the app will be updated regularly. We’ll get more opportunities to incorporate new technologies, give you more editing possibilities, and allow Luminar Neo to advance faster in our creative journey.

Luminar Neo will be installed separately as a brand new application and will not overwrite Luminar AI or other software.



Will I be able to migrate my LuminarAI Templates to Luminar Neo? How do I use Luminar Neo Migration Tool?

We understand that you’d love to use your previously created Templates in Luminar Neo. Therefore, you can download the Luminar Neo Migration tool from the My Software tab of your account.


Moreover, starting from the official release of Luminar Neo, we have been gradually converting your favorite Luminar AI Templates from our marketplace so you can install them in Luminar Neo. You can download the compatible files from the My Add-ons section of your Skylum account. Your collection of skies, textures, and objects are compatible with Luminar Neo as well.

The Luminar Neo Migration tool converts your Luminar AI Catalog into a Luminar Neo-compatible format and transfers your custom Templates.


Before using the Migration tool, please ensure that your Luminar AI and Luminar Neo are updated to the latest version.

On Windows, click Luminar > Help > Check for updates; on Mac, click Luminar > Check for updates.


Next, proceed as follows:


  1. Navigate to the My Software tab of your Skylum account and click on the Download button next to the Luminar Neo Migration tool.
  2. Once the download is completed, install the Migration tool and launch it. 
  3. Click on the Add Catalog button and navigate to the Luminar AI Catalog that you’d like to migrate (it is possible to add several Catalogs if needed). The default location is the Pictures folder. If you specified a custom location for your catalog, search your custom location.
  4. Open the Luminar AI Catalog folder and choose the .luminarai file inside it. 
  5. Click on the Migrate button.
  6. Wait until ‘green checkmarks’ appear next to all the items that should be migrated. After that, the Migration Tool can be closed.
  7. Start Luminar Neo.
  8. In the top bar menu, click Luminar Neo > File > Catalog > Open (on Windows) or File > Catalog > Open (on Mac). 
  9. Navigate to the same folder where your Luminar AI Catalog is located. The newly migrated Luminar Neo Catalog should be located next to the original Luminar AI Catalog.  The name of the migrated Catalog should contain the ‘_migrated suffix.
  10. Open the _migrated catalog folder. Select .luminarneo catalog file inside the migrated Catalog, and click Open.


Note: Erase and/or Clone and/or Augmented sky Edits from Luminar AI are gathered together in one ‘Luminar AI Adjustments’ Edit. You can only delete it by clicking on the Trash Can button. The rest of the tools can be re-edited in the Edits menu if needed. 


The migrated Templates can be accessed in the Presets > My Presets tab.

What languages are supported?

Luminar Neo is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Korean, Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and  Ukrainian

What is LuminarAI?

LuminarAI is an all-new application and plug-in and the first fully AI-powered image editing software in the world.


While Skylum is well-known for building software that taps into artificial intelligence for great results, LuminarAI is entirely different. 


We built LuminarAI with artificial intelligence at its core. Artificial intelligence saves you time and effort. Before, traditional editing software was outdated. It was time-consuming and hard to learn. It required effort and skills to get satisfying results. With LuminarAI, you can create great-looking photos much faster. It’s perfect for anyone, of any skill level. 


While other companies use artificial intelligence as a catchphrase, LuminarAI is packed full of truly smart technology. LuminarAI features many AI tools that allow you to get more done in less time. Innovations like SkyAI, FaceAI, BodyAI, IrisAI, AtmosphereAI and more give your images a memorable style and a competitive edge. Without sacrificing quality, speed or creative options.

                            Are third-party plug-ins supported? (including Aurora HDR and Luminar 4)

                            In our other applications, third-party plug-ins are supported and send back the processed image as a new layer. 


                            One of the changes in LuminarAI is the switch from layers to a Local Adjustments tool and smart segmentation of our AI-powered tools. This is why there will be no third-party plugin support in LuminarAI. If you need to merge bracketed photos, we suggest using Aurora HDR in its standalone mode.

                            Can I use LuminarAI as a plug-in?

                            LuminarAI is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in.

                            Using LuminarAI as a plug-in, you’ll be able to bring creative and timesaving workflow to your host application. LuminarAI allows you to revolutionize the way you enhance photos but conveniently fits into your current workflow. 


                            LuminarAI can be used as a plug-in or extension for: 


                              • Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6)

                                • Photoshop (from version CS5)

                                  • Photos for macOS


                                  Does LuminarAI handle RAW files?

                                  Of course! LuminarAI RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. We regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide perfect support for new cameras. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.

                                  Can I use other skies/textures/objects in LuminarAI?

                                  Yes, you can use your own sky textures and objects in LuminarAI.


                                  SkyAI will work with your own photos if they are in one of the following formats: JPEG, PNG and TIFF. Here are guidelines on preparing skies for best results. Augmented SkyAI will work with your own objects if they are in PNG format with the Alpha channel or JPG format with a fully black background.

                                  Frequently Asked Questions

                                  What is Luminar Neo?

                                  Luminar Neo is easy-to-use photo editing software that empowers photography lovers to express the beauty they imagined using innovative AI-driven tools.

                                  We’ve built Luminar Neo from the ground up to be different from previous Luminar editors. It keeps your favorite LuminarAI tools and expands your arsenal with more state-of-the-art technologies and important changes at its core. Meanwhile, the recognizable Luminar design is retained, making Neo simple to use and fun to explore.

                                  What’s new in Luminar Neo?

                                  Luminar Neo is a giant leap forward to more innovative, AI-based editing.

                                  What differentiates Luminar Neo from all previous versions of Luminar is its modular engine. Modules help to evenly distribute the load for faster image processing. This allows you to apply lots of different tools to an image without significant performance losses and save all edits automatically.

                                  In Luminar Neo, you can find powerful new tools to help fix things in post as fast as possible – and save every moment at its best. What can Luminar Neo help you with? Automatically remove dust spots and power lines, mask objects, and relight the scene; add as many layers as needed to fulfill your complex ideas; plus, use blending and masking modes, make collages, add double exposure effects, and do more on all layers.

                                  The brand-new Luminar Share mobile app for iOS and Android allows you to quickly and seamlessly transfer images from your phone to your computer.

                                  How many devices can I use Luminar Neo on?

                                  The number of devices is stated on the checkout page. Usually, we offer licenses for 1 or 2 devices (“seats”).

                                  Two seats allows you to install and activate Luminar Neo on two devices at once, regardless of their operating system. For example, you can use one seat to activate Luminar Neo on a Mac and the other one to activate Luminar Neo on a Windows computer, or you can use both seats for your Windows or macOS computers. Any combination works!

                                  Moreover, you can always manage your activations in your Skylum Account. You are able to add even more seats in your Skylum Account if you have multiple computers or want to share your license with people who need access.

                                  Are you changing computers or upgrading your device? You can reset a license from your old machine at no cost and activate that license on your new device. Just log in to your Skylum account to reset activations for Luminar Neo.

                                  Do you offer educational and military discounts?

                                  Educational and military discounts are available starting from the official release date and are calculated from the regular sale price.

                                  To secure the special price, click here. If you own a previous version of Luminar or Aurora HDR, we also provide a loyalty discount. Click here to redeem it.

                                  What is LuminarAI?

                                  LuminarAI is an all-new application and plug-in and the first fully AI-powered image editing software in the world.


                                  While Skylum is well-known for building software that taps into artificial intelligence for great results, LuminarAI is entirely different. 


                                  We built LuminarAI with artificial intelligence at its core. Artificial intelligence saves you time and effort. Before, traditional editing software was outdated. It was time-consuming and hard to learn. It required effort and skills to get satisfying results. With LuminarAI, you can create great-looking photos much faster. It’s perfect for anyone, of any skill level. 


                                  While other companies use artificial intelligence as a catchphrase, LuminarAI is packed full of truly smart technology. LuminarAI features many AI tools that allow you to get more done in less time. Innovations like SkyAI, FaceAI, BodyAI, IrisAI, AtmosphereAI and more give your images a memorable style and a competitive edge. Without sacrificing quality, speed or creative options.

                                              • Display 1280x768 size or better

                                              Starting from Update 3, LuminarAI runs natively on the M1 chip.


                                              For Windows:

                                                • Windows-based hardware PC with mouse or similar input device

                                                  • CPU Intel® Core™ i5 or better, AMD Ryzen™ 5 or better

                                                        • Operating System Windows 10 (only 64-bit OS) or higher. IMPORTANT: Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 are not supported.

                                                          • Hard disk 10 GB free space; SSD for best performance

                                                            • Display 1280x768 size or better

                                                            Are third-party plug-ins supported? (including Aurora HDR and Luminar 4)

                                                            In our other applications, third-party plug-ins are supported and send back the processed image as a new layer. 


                                                            One of the changes in LuminarAI is the switch from layers to a Local Adjustments tool and smart segmentation of our AI-powered tools. This is why there will be no third-party plugin support in LuminarAI. If you need to merge bracketed photos, we suggest using Aurora HDR in its standalone mode.

                                                            Can I use LuminarAI as a plug-in?

                                                            LuminarAI is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in.

                                                            Using LuminarAI as a plug-in, you’ll be able to bring creative and timesaving workflow to your host application. LuminarAI allows you to revolutionize the way you enhance photos but conveniently fits into your current workflow.

                                                                  Yes, you can use your own sky textures and objects in LuminarAI.


                                                                  SkyAI will work with your own photos if they are in one of the following formats: JPEG, PNG and TIFF.

                                                                  Can I use Luminar Neo as a plug-in?

                                                                  Luminar Neo is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in. 


                                                                  Luminar Neo can be used as a plug-in or extension for:


                                                                  • Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6);
                                                                  • Photoshop (from version CS5);
                                                                  • Photos for macOS.

                                                                  Will I be able to access my Luminar Neo Extensions in the plugin mode?

                                                                  All Extensions that work with a single image (such as Noiseless AI) will be accessible when you use Luminar Neo as a plugin.

                                                                  Also, you can use the HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, and Upscale AI Extensions from the Lightroom plugin. Achieve even more impressive results with any editing workflow.

                                                                  Moreover, please keep in mind that if you invoke Luminar Neo from Photoshop or select the “Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments” option in Lightroom Classic, you’ll get a TIFF file in the Luminar plugin. 

                                                                  Therefore, if you need to work with the RAW file in Luminar, you need to upload it in standalone mode. 

                                                                  Alternatively, using Lightroom Classic, you can choose ‘Export Original’ after right-clicking the photo > Export > Luminar Neo > Open Source Files. 

                                                                  What is going to change in January 2024?

                                                                  Starting from January 2024, Luminar Neo will no longer offer separate Extensions nor the Extension Pack for sale as a one-time purchase. We will also no longer offer the 2023/24 Creative Journey Passes for lifetime customers wishing to access generative technologies.

                                                                  Our goal is to simplify the process of accessing all the latest technologies in Luminar Neo for all of our customers. The most convenient way to do that will be to purchase a Pro subscription.


                                                                  Instead of releasing individual Extensions throughout the year, Luminar Neo will have two major product updates per year with exciting new features and improvements, and regular minor updates addressing performance issues and bug fixes. All the Extensions you’ve already purchased will still be available to you.

                                                                  Are you the owner of a Lifetime license with/without CJP or Extensions? Learn more how these changes will affect you

                                                                  What’s the difference between Luminar X Membership and the Luminar Neo Pro Subscription?

                                                                  Luminar Neo’s Pro Monthly and Yearly Subscription plans give you access to the Luminar Neo app, all updates or new versions, as well as all Extensions available during the subscription period. 



                                                                  Luminar X Membership is a paid subscription for those who already own or subscribe to Luminar and want to take their creativity to the next level. Luminar X members enjoy monthly delivery of creative assets, including Luminar Presets, LUTs, and Sky textures. 


                                                                  Important: Luminar X Membership doesn't include the Luminar app or its Extensions. 

                                                                  Where do I find my Extensions after installation?

                                                                  Since HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, Panorama Stitching, and Upscale AI require dragging the images to the tool from the catalog, they are available in the Catalog tab on the right-side panel.

                                                                  Share your adventures at top quality(169)


                                                                  You can find Noiseless AI, Supersharp AI, Magic Light AI in the Edit tab > Tools panel:

                                                                  Share your adventures at top quality(170)


                                                                  Access the Background Removal AI Extension in the Edit panel > Layer Properties > Masking > Background Removal AI.


                                                                  Share your adventures at top quality(171)


                                                                  What happens to my Luminar Neo and Extensions if I cancel the subscription?

                                                                  Canceling your subscription means you won’t be charged at the beginning of the next billing cycle. You’ll be able to keep using Luminar Neo and its Extensions for the duration of the paid period.


                                                                  If you owned a lifetime license to Luminar Neo and any Extensions before subscribing, you will be able to use Luminar Neo and those Extensions for which you have a lifetime license after your subscription period ends. However, you will not get access to new Extensions and will lose access to any Extensions that were available to you during the subscription period but for which you do not own a lifetime license. You will also not have access to possible future new versions of the Luminar app.

                                                                  What is Luminar Share?

                                                                  Luminar Share is an app that allows Luminar Neo users to transfer photos from desktop to mobile (and in the opposite direction) wirelessly.

                                                                  Features of Luminar Share include:

                                                                  The Luminar Share app is available on both Android and iOS and is free for all Luminar Neo users.

                                                                  Luminar Neo is an innovative image editor powered by AI technologies of the future that simplifies complex editing routines and enables creators to bring their boldest ideas to life. And enjoy it.

                                                                  Luminar Neo is a quintessence of all our applications released to date.

                                                                  Will I be able to migrate my LuminarAI Templates to Luminar Neo? How do I use Luminar Neo Migration Tool?

                                                                  We understand that you’d love to use your previously created Templates in Luminar Neo. Therefore, you can download the Luminar Neo Migration tool from the My Software tab of your account.


                                                                  Moreover, starting from the official release of Luminar Neo, we have been gradually converting your favorite Luminar AI Templates from our marketplace so you can install them in Luminar Neo. You can download the compatible files from the My Add-ons section of your Skylum account. Your collection of skies, textures, and objects are compatible with Luminar Neo as well.

                                                                  The Luminar Neo Migration tool converts your Luminar AI Catalog into a Luminar Neo-compatible format and transfers your custom Templates.


                                                                  Before using the Migration tool, please ensure that your Luminar AI and Luminar Neo are updated to the latest version.

                                                                  On Windows, click Luminar > Help > Check for updates; on Mac, click Luminar > Check for updates.

                                                                  7. Start Luminar Neo.
                                                                  8. In the top bar menu, click Luminar Neo > File > Catalog > Open (on Windows) or File > Catalog > Open (on Mac).

The newly migrated Luminar Neo Catalog should be located next to the original Luminar AI Catalog.  The name of the migrated Catalog should contain the ‘_migrated suffix.
                                                                  10. Open the _migrated catalog folder. Select .luminarneo catalog file inside the migrated Catalog, and click Open.

You can only delete it by clicking on the Trash Can button. The rest of the tools can be re-edited in the Edits menu if needed. 


                                                                  The migrated Templates can be accessed in the Presets > My Presets tab.

                                                                  LuminarAI is an all-new application and plug-in and the first fully AI-powered image editing software in the world.


                                                                  While Skylum is well-known for building software that taps into artificial intelligence for great results, LuminarAI is entirely different. 


                                                                  We built LuminarAI with artificial intelligence at its core. Artificial intelligence saves you time and effort. Before, traditional editing software was outdated. It was time-consuming and hard to learn. It required effort and skills to get satisfying results. With LuminarAI, you can create great-looking photos much faster. It’s perfect for anyone, of any skill level. 


                                                                  While other companies use artificial intelligence as a catchphrase, LuminarAI is packed full of truly smart technology. LuminarAI features many AI tools that allow you to get more done in less time.

                                                                                            Are third-party plug-ins supported? (including Aurora HDR and Luminar 4)

                                                                                            In our other applications, third-party plug-ins are supported and send back the processed image as a new layer. 


                                                                                            One of the changes in LuminarAI is the switch from layers to a Local Adjustments tool and smart segmentation of our AI-powered tools. This is why there will be no third-party plugin support in LuminarAI. If you need to merge bracketed photos, we suggest using Aurora HDR in its standalone mode.

                                                                                            Can I use LuminarAI as a plug-in?

                                                                                            LuminarAI is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in.

                                                                                            Using LuminarAI as a plug-in, you’ll be able to bring creative and timesaving workflow to your host application. LuminarAI allows you to revolutionize the way you enhance photos but conveniently fits into your current workflow.

                                                                                                  Of course! LuminarAI RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine.

Here are guidelines on preparing skies for best results. Augmented SkyAI will work with your own objects if they are in PNG format with the Alpha channel or JPG format with a fully black background.
