Different moods - in one click

Now you can instantly change the sky in your pictures. Smart algorithm even selects the best orientation for the sky. You can use many pre-installed skies, or easily add your own sky photos.

Perfect results with
the smallest details

Intelligent selection algorithms in Luminar 4 work perfectly even with tiny details like little birds, leaves, grass or hair. They also remove halos, artifacts, and hard edges. You can even fine-tune foreground brightness and contrast.

Natural lighting
with any sky

The AI Sky Replacement tool in Luminar 4 doesn’t just change the sky – it relights the entire photo so the lighting and colors of the original image match the lighting and colors of the sky.

Relight Scene technology improvement

Even more smooth sky replacement with colors preservation - save what is already perfect.

Atmospheric Haze for even more realism

Use this tool to fine-tune the light balance for the replaced sky and the image foreground, when needed.

Original Sky

Oh my gosh, when I saw the AI Sky Replacement in the early version of Luminar 4 it was so impressive! I do lots of sky replacement and know most of the software that does it, and I could hardly believe what I saw! The way it detected and changed the mood is awesome. Can’t wait to add this to my workflow.

I was skeptical, but after dragging the AI Skin Enhancer slider around, I was amazed. Skylum’s managed to turn something as complex as realistic skin smoothing into a single slider that softens the skin while retaining detail. But there’s more: a second tool, Portrait Enhancer combines more than a dozen sliders that vary from brightening the eyes to automatically finding a face and brightening only that. And all of these edits are non-destructive so you can always change settings or copy and paste them to other images… If you’re into portraits, upgrading to Luminar 4 will be a no-brainer.

Content-aware

Boosting details with traditional Clarity and Structure tools often make parts of a photo look horrible. Luminar 4 automatically identifies objects (including people and faces, clouds, water, buildings and more) and improves them in an intelligent, content-aware way.

Human-aware

The AI Structure tool automatically detects people in a photo and doesn't overprocess them. As a result - faces and skin look natural, while the objects around them look deeper and richer.

Before After

No noise,
no halos,
no artifacts

AI Structure is excellent at improving dynamic range and adding texture and clarity. What's even better - it doesn’t add noise, halos or other artifacts.

Perfect results in seconds instead of minutes

Before After

I’ve always struggled with the side effects of clarity and structure filters: artifacts and distortion.
With AI Structure in Luminar 4, I see the details popping out only where I want, and I can also subtract detail. No more wasted time covering up halos and noise. And the best part is that I still get precise control over the strength of the effect. I love it!
