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)

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

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Neon & Glow effects in Luminar Neo?
Neon & Glow is a new AI feature in Luminar Neo. With it, you can easily overcome challenges such as inadequate lighting conditions, and seamlessly blend visually striking neon elements into the composition, making them even more intriguing.
How does Neon & Glow enhance the lighting effects in photographs?
Both of these effects are powerful for enhancing the light in your photos. Neon captures the viewer’s attention immediately, whether it’s on street signs, frames, or creative shapes, and now it’s easy to recreate it with Neon & Glow. Plus, you can add a glow effect to an image to frame the subject in a new way, add light to photos shot in poor lighting conditions, or make the photo shine with new light.
What types of lighting effects can photographers achieve with Neon & Glow?
With Neon & Glow you can easily replicate the effects of neon and glowing lights. Use it to change colors, add a mystical glow to an object, light it up, simulate smoke effects, add sparkles and stars, or even draw the object yourself! By doing so, you’ll make your photo more creative and unique, and place interesting accents that will surely attract your viewers.
Is Neon & Glow effective for improving images taken under poor lighting conditions?
Sure! Whether it’s photos of nocturnal wildlife or street night photography, poor lighting conditions are always a risk. Use a neon glowing effect to improve the luminance in your photography.
Do these effects only work together?
You can use them separately or together, depending on your creative vision. Neon photography immediately draws the attention of the viewer, while glow filters can be used to place accents on objects of focus. Be sure to experiment with your photos!
