Get a deep gaze, smooth skin, and expressive
facial features with AI-powered tools in Luminar Neo.
Using face recognition technology, the Face AI
tool selectively targets the skin, eyes, and mouth
in a photo and makes them vivid, bright, and smooth
in less than five minutes — instead of 40 minutes
with classic retouching textures and brushes.

Skin AI
The Skin AI tool analyzes your image and can automatically enhance and retouch a person’s skin to make it smoother and remove glare, pimples, and pores. You get complete control over how the content-aware adjustments are applied.
Body AI
Body AI shapes a subject’s torso and abdomen. AI contours the human body and its individual proportions, so there’s no need to select the shape manually. This tool easily compensates for lens issues or unflattering angles.
Glow
The Glow tool adds luminescence and focus to your photos, producing a unique look that’s both sharp and blurry at the same time. It’s perfect for objects with smooth surfaces and portraits, and you can even choose the type of Soft Focus.
Photographing children is tricky, but we know the trick
Portrait Background RemovalAI is a powerful feature created on the basis of MaskAI, the smart AI technology that quickly detects and selects the objects in the photo. Forget about time-consuming manual selections.
Highlight the tender moments of a newborn to match any mood you want to create
Mood
The Mood tool uses professional lookup tables (LUTs) to quickly change the tone of your photo. Choose from film stocks and black and white looks — or create color grades to unlock a new style in seconds.
Black & White
The Black & White tool converts a color photo to black and white so you can accentuate highlights and shadows. It also contains a number of controls to manipulate the monochrome look. Select Luminance to control the brightness of the Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Magenta channels and adjust their saturation.
Film Grain
The Film Grain tool emulates the structure of analog film stock by adding random, stylized grain to your image.
Portrait Bokeh AI
Accentuate the main
heroes of the story
Add a natural bokeh effect with any lens and get full control of its depth and amount.
Create dramatic photos with crystal-clear sharpness, even if your photography gear lets you down. You can selectively enhance the sharpness of small, medium, and large details while protecting highlights to get the most from blurred pictures.
Supercontrast
Use this tool for precise tonal contrast and accent replacements. Six AI controls allow for more definition in the highlights, midtones, and shadows for detailed images.
Vignette
Take complete control over the shape and position of the vignette to accentuate meaningful details. Refine the image with inner brightness for improved contrast and get professional, realistic results.
Enlighten the day
Don’t let weather or bad lighting spoil the set. Get realistic and voluminous light with AI technologies.

I've used Lightroom for years and love Luminar as a replacement - and their email follow up to questions is superb!

Luminar NEO = Great software and support
Luminar NEO is a great piece of software, the results are amazing and I was fully blown away with the denoise option, never seen something like that before, truly XXI century tech! Great support and a very nice team. I hope they are very successful now and in the future!

Best photo editting software ever
I love this software, it is SO easy to use and intuitive; takes my pictures to a new level.
The customer service is really great as well, if you need any help at all with it (I've had a couple of download issues with updates, I'm sure it's my terrible internet connection, but they sent me a link within 24 hours of my asking and it worked great)

Luminar Neo is maturing fast
Luminar Neo is maturing into a first class photo editing software. In the first quarter of this year it has full fold many of its promises made at it debut, can’t wait to see what they will give us next.

I had entered a burn-out phase with…
I had entered a burn-out phase with photography. I love landscape photography but with aging and work I am limited on energy and time. However now being able to use any of my hundreds of sky shots I have taken over the last 30 years and instantly plug them into any of my landscape shots....well it is difficult to describe how nice and fulfilling it has been. I can't say enough about the program. Also the adjustments I can make with all the other features is revolutionary. Thank you.

Skylum software is simply next level
Skylum software is simply next level. It allows me to deliver previously unimaginable results in minutes. Sometimes I just do not have the time to faff around with a sophisticated package like PS. In fairness, Skylums AI technology often wipes the floor with these packages in both time and results. Five Stars
Masking is a convenient way to hide parts of an image that should remain untouched and select objects for enhancement.
Which keyboard shortcut is used with the masking tool?
In Luminar Neo’s intuitive workflow, you don’t have to memorize shortcuts. Click the name of an object from the menu to mask it in your photo.
Select and mask do not work!
It’s common that a traditional photo editing app with a masking tool can only select human figures automatically. Luminar Neo automatically masks nine objects that are recognized by the AI at its core.
Can I copy a mask to another layer?
If you duplicate a layer, the mask is duplicated too.
