Luminar AI uses artificial intelligence to flip those metrics.
In my experience, only 30% of our time is actually spent being creative. What differentiates Skylum is our human-centric application of this incredibly powerful technology. Skylum CEO Alex Tsepko says, 'Our approach to AI lines up with that of the best minds in the field. Luminar includes Enhance AI, a pair of sliders comprising Accent AI and Sky Enhancer AI. Skylum has aimed to automate processes – and save photographers time – without removing the creative input of the photographer. A unifying theme throughout is AI-powered technology and the impact these new AI tools will have on workflows for photographers of all levels. Luminar AI offers a wide array of new features and improvements. In the subsequent months, Skylum teased the software's impressive AI-powered features, including water reflections when using sky replacement. I’m not putting much Luminar how-to content on the site at the moment because Skylum’s repeated relaunches have left a lot of the older content outdated, and I’ve no great confidence that any new tutorials I create will still be relevant next week, let alone in the next version.Skylum first announced Luminar AI in September. The basic software is cheap enough, but the ‘extras’ could quickly push the price up well beyond that of its nearest rivals.
The second thing I’m not keen on is the way Skylum has pivoted towards paid Extensions as a way of extending Luminar’s capabilities. First, it’s speeded up its rendering by showing only those adjustment effects ‘below’ the current one in the tools stack – this seems a real backward step in a world where other editors preview the cumulative effect all the tools in real-time as you make adjustments.
Luminar Neo is not bad, in my opinion, but Skylum has done a couple of things I’m not keen on. Each incarnation features the same core message as previous versions, but with new features added and some old ones removed amid a blizzard of marketing messages. Luminar has always been an exciting and fast-moving newcomer to the photo-editing market, but some of the moves have been so fast and so erratic it’s hard to have a lot of confidence in where it’s going next. Layers has made a return to Luminar Neo and Skylum says a free update is imminent which will add a Clone & Stamp tool to Luminar Neo – that’s another feature that was already in Luminar 4, all those versions ago. It had some new AI tricks, but lost a lot of the more advanced features previously found in Luminar 4, like layers, for example. Luminar AI was not the best incarnation of Skylum’s ever-changing photo editor. It’s probably not a great surprise, as from the moment Luminar Neo was launched, the fact that the older Luminar AI stayed on sale seemed pretty odd.
