General Updates
You can now use the HDR Merge, Focus Stacking, and Upscale AI Extensions not only directly in Luminar Neo but also from the Lightroom plugin. Achieve even more impressive results with any editing workflow.
To make editing with Presets even faster and more convenient, you can now scroll down the list of Presets and view the effect of each Preset on your photo on hover, without needing to click and apply it.
Overall, Luminar Neo 1.7.0 is faster and more stable when applying the first edit, making further edits and managing the Edit History, reapplying effects, and editing photos that contain people.
Last but not least, we’ve fixed a number of bugs so Luminar Neo runs even more smoothly. Enjoy your editing!
