...And much more.

The new technologies and innovative user experience in Luminar Neo make creative image editing simple and fun.

Luminar Neo comes out this winter, but you can preorder it today and invest in your photography success.

We are pleased to announce Luminar Neo and will be revealing its full feature set in the coming months. Luminar Neo is a giant leap forward to more innovative, AI-based editing that targets the pains of photographers. Its goal is high-quality, fast, easy, and enjoyable results for anyone who wants to edit their images and channel their creativity in new ways.

The collection of AI-powered tools take a significant jump forward in function and performance with Luminar Neo. The application expands its toolbox with more groundbreaking AI-powered tools. The new tools are joined by additional options to solve even more problems and unleash creativity. 

• Speed up your editing workflow with our new speedy core engine. 
  It’s based on unique technologies developed by Skylum and works on a module system, which means that different parts of the application can now be optimized separately for the best results. Thanks to the independent modules engine, Luminar Neo will be updated more frequently. Luminar Neo has a more flexible editing process, which means less memory is required to edit photos. The new engine has many small background optimizations of memory use, which increases the speed of all processes inside the application, from uploading to applying editing effects, using layers, and exporting.
• Completely transform your photos with new relighting options. Luminar Neo analyzes each image to recognize the depth of a scene and its subject allowing for unique control over exposure and tone.
• Easily remove distracting image blemishes caused by a dirty camera sensor or lens. There are also new tools to clean up unwanted elements in the background of a photo.
• Explore creativity with an effortless layers workflow and combine a photograph with other visual elements. Discover a collection of textures, overlays, and visual effects to add creativity to an image and personalize it. This addition unlocks new creative options for compositing images and visuals to create a custom style. You can add an infinite number of Layers, move Layers on top of each other, use blending modes and masking modes, make collages, add double exposure effects, and do more on each layer.
• Skylum is also excited to announce that a new mobile app is in development. It will allow easy transfer of photos between a mobile device and a computer. This will make it easier to add pictures captured on a mobile device to your Luminar library. Once edited in Luminar Neo, results can be sent back to the portable device for easy social sharing or viewing on the go.

Do you want to profit from the optimized engine that provides an immensely faster experience, uses less memory, and offers endless possibilities for future optimization? 

Our new modular core engine is swift, less resource-intensive, and flexible. We know you’ll enjoy using it. 

Do you want to receive even more powerful and intelligent tools to achieve high-quality results and turn your photos into engaging stories? 

Luminar Neo keeps your favorite LuminarAI tools and expands your arsenal with more state-of-the-art technologies to control every aspect of your photo. You’ll benefit from automated dust and power lines removal, intelligent exposure adjustments based on image depth, smart masks, and more features that we’ll reveal later in the upcoming months.

Do you want to unleash your creativity while creating gorgeous composite images in an enhanced Layers module?

Now, working with them gives you far more control than ever. You can easily drag, move, place, rotate, and flip a texture or textures around the image, mask, and blend them. 

Do you care about the speed of sharing images from your mobile phone to desktop and vice versa? 

We’ve got you covered with our brand-new mobile application for quick transfer of images.

Those who received the HDR Merge Extension for free can take advantage of an exclusive offer here.

The download process starts in your Skylum account. 

Please note that your HDR Merge purchase is automatically linked to your billing email, so make sure to log in to a Skylum account associated with that email.

1. Go to the Skylum account login page here.

2. Sign in with your Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or Apple account, or sign in with your email and password.

3. If you purchased HDR Merge using an email address not tied to it, you can merge your accounts in the My Products > App isn’t showing? section of your Skylum account.

4. In your account, you will see a My Products tab with all of your Skylum programs and extensions. 

5. Navigate to the Extensions menu under Luminar Neo and сlick on the Run in Luminar Neo button. 

6. You’ll get redirected to Luminar Neo’s in-app extension store. Click Install under HDR Merge to start the installation process. 

Once the installation is complete, you can access HDR Merge in the right panel of Luminar Neo’s Catalog tab. 

Luminar Neo should work on your computer as long as it meets the following minimum system requirements. 

For Mac:

• MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Pro, Mac mini, early 2010 or newer

• CPU Intel® Core™ i5 or better

• Memory 8 GB RAM or more (16+ GB RAM is recommended)

• macOS 10.14.6 or higher. IMPORTANT: macOS 10.13 is not supported.

• Hard disk 10 GB free space; SSD for best performance

• Display 1280x768 size or better

For Windows:

• Windows-based hardware PC with mouse or similar input device

• CPU Intel® Core™ i5 or better, AMD Ryzen™ 5 or better

• Open GL 3.3 or later compatible Graphics Cards

• Memory 8 GB RAM or more (16+ GB RAM is recommended)

Your satisfaction and happiness are our number one priority. That’s why we’re extending the money-back guarantee period on Luminar Neo. 

You’ll have the chance to try Luminar Neo’s features, including Mask AI and Portrait Background Removal AI to the fullest. The money-back-guarantee countdown will start from the Luminar Neo next major feature update 1.1.0 and continue for 30 days. This proposition is valid for all customers, including Early Birds.

At Skylum, we take user input and testing seriously. During beta testing, we discovered that the experience with some of the options in Supersharp AI was not up to our standards.

Therefore, we decided to put these options through additional refinement procedures so that you get the best tool in the end. The improvements will be available for all Extension owners for free in future updates.

All Extensions that work with a single image (such as Noiseless AI) will be accessible when you use Luminar Neo as a plugin.

The extensions that involve processing more than one photo at once (such as HDR Merge) can now be used only in the standalone mode. However, we’ve already added the ability to open several files in the plugin mode to our roadmap and are exploring its implementation. 

Moreover, please keep in mind that if you invoke Luminar Neo from Photoshop or select the “Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments” option in Lightroom Classic, you’ll get a TIFF file in the Luminar plugin. 

Therefore, if you need to work with the RAW file in Luminar, you need to upload it in standalone mode. 

Alternatively, if you use Lightroom Classic, you can choose ‘Edit Original’ among the transfer options in the Photo > Edit in > Luminar Neo menu, or you can right-click the photo > Export > Luminar Neo > Open Source Files. 

We understand that you’d love to use your previously created Templates in Luminar Neo. Therefore, we’ll take care of the migration process. Our team will provide you with a special utility to convert your custom Templates into a Luminar Neo-compatible format. You'll be able to take your favorite settings with you when switching to the new software. 

Moreover, the majority of the purchased Luminar AI Templates will be reworked so you could install them in Luminar Neo. After the release, you’ll be able to re-download the compatible files from the My Add-ons section of your Skylum account.

Luminar Share is an app that allows Luminar Neo users to transfer photos from desktop to mobile (and in the opposite direction) wirelessly.

It also makes it easy for users to share edited photos to their social media accounts.

Features of Luminar Share include:

• Wireless transfer of photos between the desktop Luminar Neo app and the Luminar Share mobile app
• Mirroring of photos from Luminar Neo on a mobile device
• Easy sharing of photos to social media

The Luminar Share app is available on both Android and iOS and is free for all Luminar Neo users.

You’ll receive HDR Merge for free if you meet one of the following criteria: 

Noiseless AI is an AI-based pro-level Extension for Luminar Neo that reduces noise in your images. It works with raw and non-raw image formats, but the best results can be achieved with raw photos.

Thanks to Noiseless AI, you no longer have to compromise on ISO when capturing photos. Based on deep photo analysis, Noiseless AI determines an image’s noise level and suggests one of three noise reduction presets – low, middle, or high. Now there’s no need for meticulous close-ups to evenly mask a noisy area, as one click gets rid of noise throughout the photo. 

Additionally, you can change noise reduction levels manually with three sliders at your disposal: Luminosity, Color, and Details.

The algorithms built into Noiseless AI open the door to higher-quality results while leaving you in full control.

With Luminar Neo, you can always find an option that suits your workflow best. The number of devices will always be stated on the checkout page so that you could make an informed decision. Usually, we offer a version for 1 or 2 devices. Moreover, you can always manage your activation in the Skylum account. 

You'll be able to add even more seats in your Skylum Account if you have multiple computers or a family of people who need access.

Change computers or upgrade your device? You can free up a license from your old machine at no cost. Just log in to your Skylum account to reset the activation for Luminar Neo.

In 2022, Luminar Neo is reaching its full potential and becoming a platform. Therefore, we’re not releasing a new version but will keep bringing improvements to the existing product. 

Luminar Neo will continue seeing regular free performance, compatibility, and feature updates, as we’re committed to delivering the best editing experience to our artists. 

You can add even more creative superpowers to your software with the pro-level 2022 Extensions Pack.

For all current owners of a Luminar Neo lifetime license, we offer the biggest discount on the first year of a subscription plan. 

During your subscription period, you will get immediate access to all updates or new Luminar app versions. You will also gain access to all currently available Extensions as well as Extensions released during your subscription period. 

If you’ve received HDR Merge for free, you can redeem your subscription discount here. 

Luminar Neo owners that bought the HDR Merge Extension can benefit from our exclusive offer here.

Luminar Neo Migration tool converts your Luminar AI Catalog into a Luminar Neo-compatible format and transfers your custom presets.

Before using the Migration tool, please ensure that your Luminar AI and Luminar Neo are updated to the latest version.

On Windows, click Luminar > Help > Check for updates; on Mac, click Luminar > Check for updates.

Next, proceed as follows:

1. Navigate to the My Software tab of your Skylum account and click on the Download button next to the Luminar Neo Migration tool. 

2. Once the download is completed, install the Migration tool and launch it. 

3. Click on the Add Catalog button and navigate to the Luminar AI Catalog that you’d like to migrate (it is possible to add several Catalogs if needed).

The default location is the Pictures folder. If you specified a custom location for your catalog, search your custom location.

4. Open the Luminar AI Catalog folder and choose the .luminarai file inside it. 

5. Click on the Migrate button.

6. Wait until ‘green checkmarks’ appear next to all the items that should be migrated. After that, the Migration Tool can be closed.

7. Start Luminar Neo.

8. In the top bar menu, click Luminar Neo > File > Catalog > Open (on Windows) or File > Catalog > Open (on Mac). 

9. Navigate to the same folder where your Luminar AI Catalog is located. The newly migrated Luminar Neo Catalog should be located next to the original Luminar AI Catalog.  The name of the migrated Catalog should contain the ‘_migrated’ suffix.

10. Open the _migrated catalog folder. Select .luminarneo catalog file inside the migrated Catalog, and click Open.

Note: Erase and/or Clone and/or Augmented sky Edits from Luminar AI are gathered together in one ‘Luminar AI Adjustments’ Edit. You can only delete it by clicking on the Trash Can button. The rest of the tools can be re-edited in the Edits menu if needed. 

The migrated Templates can be accessed in the Presets > My Presets tab.

Luminar Neo is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in. 

Using Luminar Neo as a plug-in, you’ll be able to bring a creative and timesaving workflow to your host application. Luminar Neo allows you to revolutionize the way you enhance photos but conveniently fits into your current workflow. 

Luminar Neo can be used as a plug-in or extension for: 

• Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6)

• Photoshop (from version CS5)

• Photos for macOS

• Microsoft Photos

Of course! Luminar Neo RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. We regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide perfect support for new cameras. You can check the full list of supported cameras here. 

The educational and military discounts will be available starting from the official release date and calculated from the regular price.

During preorder, we offer the best deals with the greatest discounts. Right now, you have a chance to reserve Luminar Neo at the lowest price.

Luminar Neo currently supports English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Korean, Russian, Japanese, and Dutch. We're constantly working on adding support for more languages. If yours isn't on the list yet, check back later or drop us an email. We’ll make sure the product team gets your request for future development!

At Skylum, we love to provide you with a variety of options that suit your workflow best. That is why LuminarAI and Luminar Neo are designed to serve two different purposes.

LuminarAI is the easiest-to-use image editor fully powered by artificial intelligence for those who prefer a time-saving Template-driven workflow for quick results. The app can swiftly guide you to the best outcomes while still preserving editing flexibility. It's a compact and easy-to-navigate application that already packs everything one needs for great results. We believe it's a finished product and, therefore, we'll support it in terms of compatibility and performance, including support of new cameras. 

In its turn, Luminar Neo is for those who want more editing options and more creative control.

The app provides the ability to build detailed and expressive images with advanced layer-based workflow and flexible tools that can be applied in any order. It also boasts a high-speed core engine with background rendering and accelerated exports for more complex tasks.

Both applications will be available on the market so that you could choose the software according to your preferred workflow and the desired outcome. LuminarAI will keep receiving free maintenance updates.

We encourage you to give Luminar Neo a try, though, if you want to experience a new level of creativity and innovation. It packs a convenient design, faster speed, and even more unique and helpful tools so you can achieve spectacular results.

HDR Merge is custom-built technology in Luminar Neo for merging up to 10 exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR photo.

It is available as an extension and will appear as a separate module inside Luminar Neo.

HDR Merge delivers a spectacular level of color enhancement, making the final result look as close as possible to what the human eye can see. 

If merging multiple images, you’ll also benefit from auto-alignment and ghost reduction features. They come in handy when one or more shots are misaligned or when there are moving objects in the frame. 

You can also start with just one photo, and the built-in AI will increase its dynamic range by analyzing and adjusting multiple parameters, such as tone, contrast, and details.

Incorporating HDR Merge into Luminar Neo makes it a one-stop solution for stunning landscape and architecture photos.

Before you had to merge exposure brackets in Aurora HDR first, then switch to Luminar for post-processing. 

Now you can create HDR photos directly in Luminar Neo and combine the power of the dynamic range improvements with Luminar’s most advanced AI-powered tools for rich-in-detail-and-color photos.

You can effortlessly select objects in an image with Mask AI and edit them selectively with our extensive feature set. Think of the splendid results you can achieve when gaining control over light and tone with Relight AI or bringing warmth, softness, and a golden glow to all your photos with Golden Hour. You can also experiment with setting the light source in Sunrays, improve the colors of foliage and greenery in Foliage Enhancer and enjoy content-aware and depth masking to place fog, mist, or haze in Atmosphere AI.

Not to mention our renowned Accent AI tool that will analyze your image and instantly correct it using over a dozen controls at once, yielding naturally beautiful results with one simple slider.

The HDR Merge extension streamlines the editing process and saves your time while providing vivid results.

HDR Merge is an extension built into Luminar Neo, so it uses Luminar Neo’s catalog and export window.  Therefore, it cannot batch-process photos on its own. 

However, you can easily sync adjustments applied to the already created HDR photos:

1. Apply the necessary edits to one of the images.
2. Right-click it and select Adjustments>Copy Adjustments.
3. While holding CTRL (on Windows)/CMD (on macOS) key on your keyboard, multi-select the images which you would like to edit in the same way.
4. Right-click one of the selected images and choose Adjustments > Sync/Paste Adjustments.
5. Finish by using the Export command to batch export multiple photos

Yes, your collection of skies, textures, and objects will be compatible with Luminar Neo.

What differentiates Luminar Neo from all the programs we've created before is its engine. The software boasts an all-new core designed from scratch for faster image processing and seamless integration of all innovations we plan to add. As a result, the image processing pipeline will be significantly renovated under the hood. Because of the updated architecture, it will not be possible to move your catalog directly to Luminar Neo.

With the initial release of Luminar Neo, the use of Photoshop-style plugins is not expected to be included. However, we clearly understand the popularity of this request and are actively exploring its implementation.

Our brand-new Luminar Neo engine and layers workflow mean that support is possible. This will pave the way for smoother integrations with other specialized plugins.

We’re truly excited about the dramatic opportunities to improve performance and expand capabilities that the new Luminar Neo engine offers. We look forward to revealing more details in 2022.

No, Luminar Neo and Aurora HDR will work as two separate applications. However, both applications can access your photos easily.  Plus, any edited images exported from Aurora HDR can be placed in the same folder as the source images added to your Luminar Neo catalog.  These will automatically be scanned and uploaded to your Luminar Neo.

Yes. Your original image files remain intact throughout the process. 

Unlike in Luminar AI, where you could start with virtually any tool, our new core engine is organized as independent modules where edits will be stacked on top of one another with RAW development being the first one of them. This will help Luminar Neo calculate all the adjustments much faster and provide you with an overall more pleasant hitch-free experience. The app works more quickly than previous versions of Luminar when importing, viewing, and exporting images, and it uses less memory all around. Additionally, such a workflow will favor upcoming innovations: it will be much easier for us to integrate new creative features into the product seamlessly. 

Once you’ve developed your RAW, you can use multiple raw files as image layers and apply any tool to any layer, in any order, multiple times, and with unique masks. At any point during the editing process, you’ll be able to return to the previous adjustments, tweak them and fast-forward to the latest edit, always retaining complete control over the image.

Luminar Neo will be installed separately as a brand new application and will not overwrite Luminar AI or other software.

The Portrait Background Removal^AI tool is specifically designed and trained to recognize humans in photos. In the future, we may consider enabling it for other subjects.

Important note: Portrait Background Removal^AI will not be present in Luminar Neo's first release but will become available in its free update later.
