NEW YORK, NY - May 19, 2022 — Following the growing trend in imaging software to incorporate artificial intelligence technologies, Skylum is rethinking traditional photo editing software with Luminar Neo. The efforts of the Skylum Team haven’t gone unnoticed.
This year, the prestigious TIPA award for Best Imaging Software in the Enthusiast category goes to Luminar Neo, confirming yet again Skylum’s well-deserved place among industry leaders in creative imaging software. Skylum has previously won the TIPA award for Best Imaging Software in 2019 for Luminar 3, and for the original Luminar in 2017.
“It’s a joy and an honor to provide real value to the Luminar community all around the globe. Our biggest goal is to create products that artists all around the world can use to fulfill their creative drive. This year’s TIPA award victory reassures us that we’re on the right path.” — Ivan Kutanin, CEO of Skylum
Enthusiasm for innovation and convenience
Luminar Neo provides a variety of tools that make it easy to explore new paths of digital photo editing and expression. Many of these tools are based on innovative AI technologies that speed up the editing process and provide one-click solutions to tedious problems.
The recently released Mask AI tool, which offers intelligent masking based on AI technologies, is an example of innovation that speeds up the editing process. Luminar Neo can detect various elements in a photo — such as architecture, people, mountains, and vehicles — and then mask them automatically, without the artist needing to resort to time-consuming manual brushing.
Whether it’s combining images with multiple layers; relighting underexposed, backlit, or foreground subjects; clearing the sky of power or phone lines; enhancing bokeh; replacing the sky; or removing dust spots left by dirt or debris on your camera lenses, Luminar Neo solves common problems of photographers and unlocks the freedom of effortless creativity.

For TIPA, it’s a well-deserved award, taking into consideration not only the technological innovation itself but also the fact that Skylum is committed to delivering update after update despite the ongoing war in Ukraine.
