At Skylum, we take user input and testing seriously. During beta testing, we discovered that the experience with some of the options in Supersharp AI was not up to our standards.
Therefore, we decided to put these options through additional refinement procedures so that you get the best tool in the end. The improvements will be available for all Extension owners for free in future updates.
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:
The Luminar Share app is available on both Android and iOS and is free for all Luminar Neo users.
Noiseless AI is an AI-based pro-level Extension for Luminar Neo that reduces noise in your images. It works with raw and non-raw image formats, but the best results can be achieved with raw photos.
Thanks to Noiseless AI, you no longer have to compromise on ISO when capturing photos. Based on deep photo analysis, Noiseless AI determines an image’s noise level and suggests one of three noise reduction presets – low, middle, or high. Now there’s no need for meticulous close-ups to evenly mask a noisy area, as one click gets rid of noise throughout the photo.
Additionally, you can change noise reduction levels manually with three sliders at your disposal: Luminosity, Color, and Details.
The algorithms built into Noiseless AI open the door to higher-quality results while leaving you in full control.
