How does Luminar retouch photos?

Clone & Stamp tool

The Clone & Stamp tool allows you to retouch photos by replacing unwanted or damaged pixels with other pixels of your choice. It basically copies one part of a photo and pastes it in another part.

Erase tool

The Erase tool also removes unwanted elements from your images. However, the Erase tool does it by taking into account the texture, illumination, and shadows surrounding the pixels you’re erasing and blending those pixels to match their surroundings.

AI Skin & AI Portrait Enhancer

Blend modes are powerful tools to retouch photos. You can find them next to opacity in the Layers section. Normal is the default layer blend mode, which adds one layer over another. But you can experiment with many other modes in the drop-down menu.

Texture Overlay

This creative filter lets you blend custom images and textures into the current image. Texture Overlay can make your image unique, and is especially useful if you want to achieve a vintage or grungy look.
