Luminar Neo
Frequently Asked Questions

Luminar Neo RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.  Also, we regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide excellent support for new cameras. 

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.

Important: Luminar X Membership Pro and Basic plans don’t include the Luminar app or its Extensions. 

Canceling your subscription means you won’t be charged at the beginning of the next billing cycle. You’ll be able to keep using Luminar Neo and its Extensions for the duration of the paid period.

If you owned a lifetime license to Luminar Neo and any Extensions before subscribing, you will be able to use Luminar Neo and those Extensions for which you have a lifetime license after your subscription period ends. However, you will not get access to new Extensions and will lose access to any Extensions that were available to you during the subscription period but for which you do not own a lifetime license. You will also not have access to possible future new versions of the Luminar app.
