I love Luminar AI, and it remains installed on PC to this day – right next to Luminar Neo. I own both, and Luminar Neo is just better.

But first, check out my Luminar Neo vs Lumiar AI comparison and Luminar Neo Review. If you are still using Luminar AI and considering an upgrade, I think you should. So, if you can buy a copy of Luminar AI before its discontinued, I recommend that you don’t. Read Luminar Neo Reviewįurthermore, Luminar Neo is a little faster and benefits from premium features such as HDR Merge and Noiseless AI via the Luminar Neo Extension Pack. But today, Luminar Neo has everything Luminar AI has (except Augmented Sky AI!) and much more besides. What now?Īt first, Luminar Neo had enough rough edges and missing features to justify Luminar AI’s existence. It was supremely easy for beginners while offering experts some fancy-fun new tricks and a quicker route to a finished image. (C’mon Skylum!) Birds added with Augmented Sky AI The Peoples Photo Editorįor all the reasons above, Luminar AI was almost everything to everyone. Of course, I have to mention Augmented Sky AI, the only feature Luminar Neo is waiting on and one of the preciously few ways to insert a Flock of Birds, a Planet, or a Giraffe into your photo.

And Portrait Bokeh AI-enabled you to add a thousand-dollars worth of background blur to any photo you have ever taken. It was only in Luminar AI where the Sky Replacement matured, offering superior scene relighting and reflections. But most people were drawn to Luminar AI’s box of AI tricks.
