Advanced photo editor

Luminar Neo is premium photography software coming from developer Skylum. This photo editor program offers users professional-grade features while remaining beginner-friendly and easy to use. It also utilizes various AI-powered tools for some of the enhancements it offers to create some impressive results with minimal effort.

Compared to other popular photo-editing solutions, such as Adobe Photoshop CC and GIMP, Luminar Neo is noticeably simpler and neater in presentation, making it less daunting for beginners. This free trial version is to get an idea of what this software is capable of before opting for a subscription or one-time purchase.

Photo-editing for everyone

One of the most obvious ways to improve the look of pictures is through photo editing, and there's no shortage of options available in the market today, ranging from one-tap auto-enhance fairs to professional solutions that offer complete creative control over your images. Luminar Neo sits somewhere in the middle, combining a robust feature set with user-friendliness that will be suited to beginners to photograph post-edits.

This software offers an extensive suite of editing tools that allow for both quick and simple enhancements with the professional-tuned presets to more multi-layer edits that require specific tools and granular control. One of its stand-out features though is its AI-powered tools that utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze a photo and determine what refinements need to be made to improve its quality.

Other notable features include integration with other photo-editing tools from Adobe and macOS via extensions for seamless workflow transitions between devices and platforms. Some areas where it can improve on the slow processing in some cases, the lack of keyword tagging for faster organization, and the simplistic image management system. Hopefully, these things can be looked into and added be included in an update sometime soon.

Easy and impressive results

In summary, if you're new to more complex photo-editing practices, Luminar Neo is a good starting place to learn more. It has one of the best user interfaces right now and offers plenty of editing tools to try out. All the AI-powered features are quite impressive and produce some nice results. Apart from the concerns mentioned above, this is definitely worth a try.
