The team over at Skylum Software has been busy, with Luminar Neo announced today!
Luminar Neo will be the next step in Skylum Software’s AI photo and image editing software. Previous versions of Luminar have included AI portrait enhancement, as well as sky replacement and rendering light rays.

At this point, there are not a lot of details as to what the new features will be, but from the promotional images provided, the new version of Luminar appears to have advanced background, dust spot, and POWER LINE removal.
Skylum appears to have added layered editing as well as a feature they call “flash light,’ which seems to render a sort of ‘fill flash effect.’
Skylum’s press release states, “Luminar Neo is a creative image editor powered by AI technologies of the future, that enables creators to fulfill their wildest ideas. And enjoy it. Offering leading-edge AI technologies, a flexible workflow, and high-quality editing results, Luminar Neo is based on a new engine designed for accomplishing creative tasks with maximum performance and flexibility.”
Luminar Neo is available for pre-order starting September 9th through the 19th, 2021. New users can secure a license for as low as $54, while existing Skylum software customers can pre-order for only $34!
