Q: I just bought Luminar AI, but from what I hear, it sounds like Luminar Neo might be more my cup of tea.Ī: Good news: Skylum’s got your back! Although they’re different products aimed at different types of creatives, everybody who bought Luminar AI between July 27 and September 8, will receive a free license for Luminar Neo when it is released. Also, because of the complexity of some of the tools that Skylum is planning on incorporating in Luminar Neo, the underlying technological engine had to be rebuilt.

The vocation of Luminar Neo goes beyond that, and as such, it would be impossible to marry Luminar AI’s ease of use with Luminar Neo’s bigger toolset. To do the same thing in Photoshop takes years of Photoshop experience and tens of minutes of work, often with inferior results. The latest update, Portrait Bokeh AI, is a great example of that.

Q: Why can’t Skylum simply do an upgrade of Luminar AI?Ī: Luminar AI has been conceived as a tool that was both simple to use yet under the hood managed to do incredibly complex tasks, driven by AI. If you’re excited by the prospect of even more AI-driven features, then you should probably add Luminar Neo to your toolkit, in addition to Luminar AI. It is currently unclear whether, other than support for new cameras, Luminar AI will receive additional features. I am even in the process of scripting and recording ‘The Ultimate Guide to Luminar AI’, an in-depth video course for it, that I’m hoping to have ready by mid-October.

So, unlike Luminar 4, Luminar AI is currently not ‘End of Life’, in software terms. Luminar AI already received 4 free updates, that brought (even more than) all the features that were promised when it was announced. Q: Does this mean that Luminar AI is ‘dead’?Ī: Unlike Luminar 4, which is now officially discontinued and retired from the Skylum store, Luminar AI is still available for purchase, as it is aimed at a different type of user. Neo will have a preset system of its own, that will be even more powerful than Luminar AI’s. Q: Will my Luminar AI templates work in Luminar NeoĪ: There will be a translation tool to make sure that AI templates will work in Neo. Q: Do I need both Luminar AI and Luminar Neo?Ī: That will be up to you! Luminar Neo will offer more tools and more controls than Luminar AI. Q: Will Luminar Neo be subscription software?Ī: No, it will be a traditional license, just like Luminar AI: buy it once and use the version you bought forever (or at least as long as your computer and operating system allow. 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. I wish I could tell you more, but that’s about all I know myself.
