In the mean time, here’s a couple of FAQ’s Luminar Neo and Luminar AI: FAQs As soon as I can, I will share more news and as winter is coming (which reminds me I still have to watch Game of Thrones), hopefully I’ll be able to show some sneak previews of the interface. Two device licenses start at $76 with pre-order pricing.I wish I could tell you more, but that’s about all I know myself. Pre-orders are open now and discounted to $65, or $94 when bundled with Luminar AI. Luminar Neo is expected to retail for $79 for a single device license. Luminar Neo joins Luminar AI and Aurora HDR. The new program is expected to launch this winter with Layers and Relight AI, but background removal from portraits and AI-based masks are already being planned for a later update, not the initial launch. While another program risks creating a more confusing product line, Luminar says that Neo is built on a new modular engine that’s made for faster new feature releases in the future. While Skylum hasn’t shared full details, Neo doesn’t appear to tackle digital asset management either. Organizing images is limited to just folders, without star ratings and labels. Skylum now directs users searching for a Luminar 4 license towards Luminar AI instead, calling Luminar AI “ a final sequel to Luminar 4.” However, Luminar AI is missing several features from the original Luminar series. Neo appears to take that same AI-focused approach, but directed at a different user, with Layers suggesting that Luminar is reaching for photographers who would typically use a layer-based program like Photoshop. Skylum launched Luminar AI less than a year ago. That allows editors to go back and undo or adjust previous edits without loosing other work, the company says. Skylum’s Luminar Neo applies the edits at the export, rather than as each change is made. Skylum says that while automatic background removal is generally sufficient, edges can be refined quickly. Luminar says the program will also automatically remove sensor dust spots, as well as eliminate power lines. The program will also include Mask AI, which will automatically mask portraits, skies, water, mountains, vegetation, and architecture for localized adjustments. The newly-teased Relight AI joins some of Luminar’s existing tools, like Sky Enhancer AI, Accent AI, and Portrait Bokeh AI with a new layer-based program. Luminar says that Relight AI allows photo editors to independently correct those issues, adjusting the exposure of the background but not the subject, for example. Uneven lighting is a common photography issue, particularly when access to lighting gear is limited. Relight AI uses the program’s 3D depth mapping to independently correct the foreground or background. Originally teased earlier this month, Luminar has since shared more features that the upcoming program will feature. Blending, masking and opacity can be used to create collages, double exposure effects and other powerfully creative interactions between layered photos. Creators can combine multiple images as layers on a single canvas, including RAW images for maximum control over color and light. Skylum’s Luminar Neo, expected to launch this winter, is a Photoshop-Lightroom plug-in that mixes AI-based edits with layer-based editing, specifically targeting photographers’ pain points and simplifying complex editing routines. Skylum, the developers of Luminar AI, will soon launch another stand-alone photo editor and the new software will use 3D depth mapping to correct light. Visit the Skylum website for more information. But as of October 4, Skylum has announced that Luminar 4 has been retired but the company will continue to provide support to current users for a limited period of time. Updated 10/5/21: With the recent announcement of Luminar Neo, shipping this winter, Skylum users have questioned the direction the company and what will become of current software, like Luminar 4.
