Skylum writes, 'Take full control of the background for portrait photos by quickly replacing it with an all-new image or background.' This new function adds more tools for editing portraits, joining Portrait AI, Skin AI and Bokeh AI tools.Īlongside Luminar Neo, Skylum will release a new companion mobile app. Similar in spirit to Luminar's existing sky-replacement technology, Luminar Neo has new background replacement functionality. If you want an all-new background, you can do that too. Using AI tools, Luminar Neo automatically 'recognizes and removes artifacts caused by a dirty camera sensor or lens.' Additional new tools also make it easier than ever to remove unwanted elements from your photo. The software analyzes each image to recognize the depth and subject in a scene, which Skylum says gives the user precise control over exposure and tone. In terms of new photo editing features, Luminar Neo includes new image relighting options.

'As the latest member of the Luminar family, we designed Luminar Neo to allow artists to take on more challenging image creation work and achieve results which often seem unattainable,' said Dima Sytnik, Skylum co-founder and CPO. The upcoming photo editor utilizes AI to power many of its photo editing tools, but is built upon a new image editing engine, promising improved performance. Skylum has announced the next version of its Luminar photo editing software, Luminar Neo.
