Luminar Neo

Installed Luminar Neo out of curiosity and ended up using it way more than I expected. The first impression is how quickly you can go from raw photo to something presentable without digging through menus. Everything feels laid out in a way that doesn’t slow you down, even if you’ve never touched photo editors before. Most of the time I rely on the AI tools - especially for lighting, tone, and general cleanup. They handle a lot of the repetitive work, so I can focus on the look of the image instead of tweaking every small slider.

I tried skin retouching. Luminar Neo does it accurately: the face stays alive, the texture is preserved. It's not that plasticky effect you get in most apps.

The interface feels clean and straightforward - you can jump right into editing without getting lost in endless menus. Features like GenErase, Relight AI, and Sky AI actually make editing faster and more creative, not just automated. I especially like how natural the results look, no harsh filters or artificial tones. The one-time license is a big plus, and updates keep improving both speed and stability. It’s clear the team listens to users and keeps refining the software.

I really like this editor — it saves me a lot of time when editing photos after shoots. The interface is easy to use, and there are so many tools included that I no longer need to open several different programs — everything is in one place. It’s fast, convenient, and reliable — definitely one of the best tools I’ve added to my editing routine.

A very cool editor! Fast, simple, everything is clear, I don't even need a tutorial. And with so many presets, I spend a minimum of time on processing. I definitely recommend it for both professionals and beginners.

I love photographing old architecture. I've always struggled with distortion: the walls seem to fall into the frame. In Neo, you just move a couple of sliders, and everything is perfect. No ruler, no fuss.
