Skylum Luminar Neo AI Reviews

The range and variety of presets is really the selling point. The raw processing power assisted with AI also helps to set the starting point quite quickly. The masking technology is on par with big giants like Adobe, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Luminar seems to draw heavily from your computer resources. When I was using Luminar 4, I noticed that just starting up the software made my computer fans kick on, and it pretty much stayed at top speed the whole time I was using it. The software is also rather slow and lacks responsiveness, so it takes a few seconds to respond every time you change anything. Definitely slows down the workflow.

Unfortunately, the way that Skylum (the vendor behind Luminar) does business is awful for several reasons. One, when you buy a lifetime license for Luminar, you expect that it will receive ongoing development. Well, soon enough, they'll discontinue the product you just purchased and release a "new" product so that you have to buy the new version to benefit from ongoing development. This is very disingenuous. Two, as another user pointed out, Skylum operates like a marketing agency rather than a software vendor. You'll be bombarded by marketing emails, and worse, annoying "offers" every time you run Luminar. The app appears to have the option to disable those ads, but the disable option "conveniently" does not work. Third, you can suggest improvements in the Luminar user forum but those suggestions are ignored and any critical commentary (which would help further the product and the user experience) is not well received by Skylum.

The AI uses a lot of power and causes delays and site lags. A mobile version should be developed. When downloading and importing my photos, there is a glitch whereby I then have duplicates I don't need/want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A very straight forward and easy workflow for photo editing. Very simple interface. Very easy to understand even for a beginner.

The software does a mediocre job at best improving the quality of photos.

The results, unfortunately, are not great though. The tools are limited, and if you know how to use Photoshop or Lightroom, you can achieve better results. I recommend this software for beginners or if you don't have time to process your images with more powerful softwares.

It lags, like really laggy while editing, and exporting as well. Sometimes it takes up to 30 secs to 45 secs to export a photo. Where photoshop or lightroom is way faster.

So many tools but with some semblance of simplicity if you're not needing all the power this app provides. Unfortunately, the UI has been degraded since earlier versions in favor of overly large icons and buttons. As well, it still is painfully slow during export operations. Now, with the subscription model, it's evident Skylum isn't listening to its customers. Edit: The presets presentation is evidently geared to the developer, not the user. There's no logic to how the presets are shown to th...

It is nice as you can use AI and get quite good result. However the app is using too much marketing. For instance they promote a new revolution software called Luminar AI which in reality is a couple of new models added. So it s rather an update of luminar 4 than a big improvement. Same story is true from luinar3 to luminar4. Another big issue is speed. Even with a recent machine it takes ages to save a picture and they do not use the gpu at all unless lightroom...

The editing capabilities are quite good. It has some filters and effects that would require significant work in other applications. But they over-marketed and over-sold their digital asset mgmt (think catalog) in 2017. They failed to deliver it until a year later and even then it is not a true DAM. Users are very angry with Skylum, and many including me have gone to another product for DAM. I still use it as a plug in.

Fantastic alternative to PS and LR. For amateurs and professionals alike. Seriously, give it a try
