Skylum Luminar Neo Reviews & Product Details

The range and variety of presets is really the selling point. The raw processing power assisted with AI also helps to set the starting point quite quickly. The masking technology is on par with big giants like Adobe,

Speed, slow rendering of photos. Although the developers claim the speed to be improved, its still the weakest point of the system. Slow Real-time feedback for a change is killing the overall user experience.

Alot of my photos are taken in general setting where not much processing is required. The presets and quick AI features get these images to a respectable point quite fast. Quick to share with friends and family.

Quick and easy to use filters, but the w

Quick and easy to use filters, yet compared to adobe products they seem rudimentary at best. The work flow is also very strange considering that there is a sort of non linear history by default. It's decent for quick touch ups, but honestly a modern phone can do what this app does.

Initially I was interested in the AI features, but as mentioned before they are extremely rudimentary and not at all as helpful as something like the neural filters in photoshop or Topaz products.

Objects can be produced on the pictures. Perceive the spots that may look beautiful in the photographs and make improvements only for the regions. Pretty good in contrast area.

It looks quite complicated and difficult in terms of usage interface.

I make my photos more fun by playing as much as I want. I add nostalgia to my childhood photos and add innovation to my commemorative albums.

The one thing that sets Luminar apart from other software is his AI capabilities.

I don't dislike anything from Luminar. His UI could be a tiny bit better.

It helps with post-processing photos after editing with other software.

The editing is just amazing and reaches beyond expectation.

The sky replacement is a bit buggy. But I can live with that.

Colour grading my photos and manipulation.

Luminar is the best photo and image editing tool for the modern world as it use artificial intelligence algorithm which give a natural touch to the photograph in a effective manner. It is very useful who is the beginner in the photo or image editing as it doesn't required to much knowledge for the use of it.

As the Luminar is a very good product in the market which uses the Artificial intelligence so the expectation from the product rises as there are lot of thing can be provided by AI technology, So far as concern the product is decent and effective.

We use Luminar for the photo and image editing which we can use in the presentation and seminar for the work.

Very easy to use and get started. A few quick toggles here and there and photos are literally transformed. I like that I don't have to try and get the perfect photos anymore - I ensure my photos are not blurry and have sufficient light - that's it. Everything else is modified/fixed on Luminar. Features are great and can tweak a lot of aspects of the photo including skin imperfections, light reflections, etc. Their support team is great by the way and are quick to respond even for queries that may not exactly be linked to their software. I have a secondary laptop that initially did not have the latest graphics driver to support Luminar. Lisa from their support team figured this out and pointed me in the right direction to get my laptop to be compatible with the software. This effort is what prompted me to take the time to give this review. My previous interactions with their support team have all been great as well.

Nothing to dislike per se, but need to learn all the features soon to ensure I completely utilise the software.

Photo editing software that's not complicated.

generated options allow easy to make backgrounds and other benefits

lack of community plug ins like photoshop

the ease of use and the ability to create some ai generated stuff

The simplicity and drag settings! It's very easy to understand and you can see the changes right on!

Presets can be added on standard than just as upsell!

Saving time and money in many ways! Not have to spend hours figuring out tools in PS or hiring someone!

1. luminar is very user friendly and has easy shortcut keys making it very easy and simple to use 2. editing photos comes with a number of different looks that can be applied while editing the photos

1. it does not have many filters to edit the photos 2. it's structure does not allow you to make corrections on the photo a lot faster 3.user interface is very different if we compare older versions with new version

1. using the brushes and radial mask/gradient mask which will allow the photos to have many different effects 2. the shortcut keys is very effective and can be used to highlight any photo

AI portrait enhancement, save a lot of time on details adjustment compared to Photoshop

Lack of fine tuning parameter compared to other photo editing app.

Save time on batch process portraits

The editing tools are so easy to use and understand.

I would prefer to have these applications and editing tools to be cheaper or free to use.

Luminar is helping my photography or graphics become brighter, clearer, and more suited to my business.

We liked the AI Sliders, the all-in-one solution with easy format selection and adaptive filters.

Price and supportability. It would be nice to get phone support faster

We are an Apple shop, and having Photoshop and Luminar gives us all the applications we need in two apps. No more jumping between other software to crop, tone, shade, etc.

* The best thing about Luminar4 is its ease of use, either for professionals or beginners

Everything is ok in luminar4 but there is only a small problem we want this app on phones

The problems that LUMINAR4 solved are the complicated icons in other programs in addition to the time gain

Simple to use, has all the options and tools I need.

hard to figure out how to save photos after finishing using

A cheaper alternative to photoshop

I love the easy automatic features that Luminar has like sky replacement. It makes photo editing very simple and quick especially for those who are not skilled in Illustrator or other photo editing apps.

Had some difficulty connecting the plug in and getting the app to start working with my PC

Very quick, innovative photo editing. Used it for editing client photos and event photos for our social media usage.

We can organize our photos and also edit with various designs and colors.

The quality of the image and graphics. No

Graphics for a Marketing campaign.

The price is superb, the interface is streamlined and makes workflow smooth. I enjoy the ERASE feature and the portrait and sky editing modes.

The AI uses a lot of power and causes delays and site lags. A mobile version should be developed. When downloading and importing my photos, there is a glitch whereby I then have duplicates I don't need/want.

I am able to edit any image! I love the clone and stamp tools, and am able to produce high quality marketing images and flyers. The quality of Luminar software is superb, with minor fixes. All in all, I think that Luminar is pretty equivocal to photoshop or other editing softwares.

The Luminar technology is very good. It helps save time and increases your creative efforts with photography. For instance, the sky swap feature in Luminar AI is excellent.

Unfortunately, the way that Skylum (the vendor behind Luminar) does business is awful for several reasons. One, when you buy a lifetime license for Luminar, you expect that it will receive ongoing development. Well, soon enough, they'll discontinue the product you just purchased and release a "new" product so that you have to buy the new version to benefit from ongoing development. This is very disingenuous. Two, as another user pointed out, Skylum operates like a marketing agency rather than a software vendor. You'll be bombarded by marketing emails, and worse, annoying "offers" every time you run Luminar. The app appears to have the option to disable those ads, but the disable option "conveniently" does not work. Third, you can suggest improvements in the Luminar user forum but those suggestions are ignored and any critical commentary (which would help further the product and the user experience) is not well received by Skylum.

I've been able to replace skies in photos quickly and otherwise boost the creative effect in photos.

Luminar has been around for a bit, and their newest release as of this writing, Luminar 4, has a pretty spectacular AI sky exchange engine that works really well. It let's you easily swap out your boring sky with a more exciting/dramatic sky to give your photos an extra oomph. Beyond that it also has the regular photo processing tools that will get you where you need to go. As a whole Luminar is a pretty good tool that has a lot to offer.

Luminar seems to draw heavily from your computer resources. When I was using Luminar 4, I noticed that just starting up the software made my computer fans kick on, and it pretty much stayed at top speed the whole time I was using it. The software is also rather slow and lacks responsiveness, so it takes a few seconds to respond every time you change anything. Definitely slows down the workflow.

Photo processing. The sky exchange was pretty cool, but I didn't really realize any benefit beyond what I would get in Lightroom/Photoshop.
