Luminar Neo ships this winter with layers, RelightAI, and other exciting tools.

The upcoming version also offers context-aware masking. RelightAI provides discreet and creative control to artists, allowing them to independently adjust the lighting in the foreground and background to recover detail and color. RelightAI is a lighting tool that uses the 3D Depth Map in a whole new way. foreground, midground, background) and the elements (i.e. people, buildings, skies, animals). Depth mapping seamlessly identifies the planes (i.e.

It is used in AtmosphereAI and Portrait BokehAI to recognize the contents of a photo. Portrait BokehAI: Adjust the depth of an image and control background blurring.Īrtificial intelligence that drives several tools in the Luminar family is 3D Depth Mapping.AccentAI: Balance exposure and color before RelightAI to create an appealing contrast.Sky Enhancer AI: Precisely adjust the color and exposure of the sky and clouds.Advanced controls let the artist naturally reposition and blend the light.īy combining RelightAI with other scene-aware tools, photographers can precisely adjust the lighting of any photo. Luminar Neo can fix a portrait where the foreground subject is underexposed. Enhance a landscape photo where the background is overexposed. RelightAI helps isolate the problem areas for correction while leaving the rest of the image untouched. Luminar Neo includes built-in overlays and object libraries, which allow artists to start creating layered compositions right out of the box. Once these elements are on a layer, they can be easily moved, rotated, and flipped to place them precisely within the composition. Textures and other graphic elements can add additional flourishes to the final work. PNG images with transparency can be added to layers, allowing artists to move beyond strictly photographic compositions. Blending, masking, and opacity can be used to create collages, double exposure effects, and other powerfully creative interactions between layered photos. LayersĬreators can combine multiple images as layers on a single canvas, including raw images, for maximum control over color and light. Skylum has already announced Luminar Neo for this winter, but we're getting more details of its capabilities. Still, Skylum has offered some tremendous software and given us very high-quality AI tools for sky replacement, portraits, and much more.

My advice to Skylum is to settle on a codebase, lock it in, and keep updating it, a la Adobe and many of their competitors.
