After years of avoiding auto-enhancement tools, it was surprising to find a program that doesn’t ruin images with over-processing. Luminar Neo keeps things clean and tasteful. The way it handles RAW files — especially with color depth and clarity — deserves praise. While speed could be improved, the tool itself is powerful and reliable.

Simplified my workflow. I process RAW from Sony A7 on MacBook Air M2 — everything flies. Skin retouching, noise reduction, sky replacement — Luminar Neo saves hours of work. I used to do all this manually, but now I do a lot of things quite quickly

Switched over from Lightroom and am genuinely impressed. The Enhance AI and Relight AI tools bring out vivid colors and beautifully balanced lighting in portraits and landscapes with just one slider. Sky AI effortlessly swaps out dull skies and blends new ones seamlessly into complex scenes, even around tree branches—adding cinematic flair in seconds.

I was pleasantly surprised by the way the layer system works in Neo. It's not a classic layered editor like Photoshop, but you can apply visual effects, textures, gradients, and do it all non-destructively. I use it, for example, to highlight the edges of samples - I used to do it separately, now - right in one project.

An important point in Luminar Neo is the support of ProRAW from iPhone and HEIF/HIF formats without glitches. In other editors, the color rendering of these formats suffers, especially if manual exposure settings are set in a mobile camera. Here, the color remains natural, and the exposure blocks do not fail.

After the spring 2025 update, Luminar Neo has really changed: Auto Adjust appeared, which automatically sets the exposure, white balance and contrast - a great start before manual fine-tuning. Clearing the cache in the settings now frees up space and speeds up the catalog, especially when working with hundreds of RAW files. It is very pleasing that interest in user convenience is noticeable even in such trifles.

Most photo editors have problems with architecture and interiors. But Luminar Neo pleasantly surprised me with how well Geometry AI works. Even with strong distortion of wide-angle lenses (I have a Canon 16-35mm), the tool corrects distortions without “torn” corners and loss of detail. The analog in Lightroom copes worse, especially with high verticals. They also added excellent control of color temperature in shadows and highlights separately. This is important when shooting with different light sources (daylight, lamps, LEDs) - now you don’t need to manually mask areas of the frame: Neo itself separates everything and applies the desired balance.
