Luminar Neo Product Information and Latest Updates (2025)

"Luminar Neo empowers you to express the beauty you see."

Master portrait retouching with intuitive AI tools.

Create a bokeh effect with any lens in any light. The Portrait Bokeh AI tool creates creamy bokeh background blur and works on just about any portrait photo. Take precise control over depth of field, softness, and glow.

Remove the background without masking. Forget about time-consuming manual selections. AI technology automatically detects and selects subjects. You can remove the whole background behind a person and use it as a layer or export it as a PNG file.

Structure AI: Unlock detail and clarity for images that pop and create an eye-catching composition around your subject. Structure AI increases image contrast and brings out more details, keeping human figures untouched.

Supercontrast is perfect for precise tonal contrast and accent replacements. Six AI controls allow for more definition in the highlights, midtones, and shadows for detailed images.

Relight backlit photos or darkened images in a slide with the Relight AI feature. Luminar Neo calculates the depth of a photo and creates a precise depth map to spread the light spatially across a 2D image.

Mask up to 9 types of objects in a click. Now you can automatically create masks of objects with a single click. Mask people, skies, buildings, vehicles, water, plants, mountains, and both natural and artificial ground by clicking a single button.

Create numerous layers for collages and overlays. Add as many layers as needed to fulfill any complex idea. Use blending and masking modes, make collages, add double exposure effects, and do more on each layer. You can make layers look completely different using Luminar’s presets and AI tools.

Bring volumetric & realistic sun rays. Place beautiful beams of light in a click. The Sunrays tool creates a source of light that automatically passes through trees, around mountains, and even wraps around objects in the photo.

Remove Powerlines AI. Automatically remove distracting elements in your cityscapes, urban landscapes or travel photos. Get a clear sky with no cluttered phone or power lines.

Clean Dust Spot Automatically. Automatically selects and removes blemishes. No tedious manual masking or erase & close needed. Get rid of them in just a few clicks.

Details. Create dramatic photos with crystal-clear sharpness, even if your photography gear lets you down. You can selectively enhance the sharpness of small, medium, and large details while protecting highlights to get the best out of blurred pictures.

Denoise. You may notice distracting noise or grain in your image if you shoot with a high ISO setting on a digital camera, underexpose your shot, or use a slow shutter speed. With Denoise, you can reduce or completely remove grayscale and color noise from the image.

The Mood tool uses professional lookup tables (LUTs) to quickly change the tone of your photo. Choose from film stocks and black and white looks — or create color grades to unlock a new style in seconds. You’ll find several built-in LUTs in the Choose LUT drop-down menu.

Enhance AI is a perfect tool for getting started. It analyzes your photos and instantly improves the color quality, details, and tone by selecting the right color balance. AccentAI is a magical slider for controls such as Shadows, Highlights, Contrast, Tone, Saturation, Exposure, and Details.

Place fog, mist & haze with realistic perspective. Any landscape can become even more dramatic with Atmosphere AI. This smart tool prevents the subject of your photograph (such as a person or tree) from being covered.

The Color tool is a useful way to control the intensity of colors in a photo with Saturation and Vibrance. Adjust the intensity of muted colors and achieve fine control when adjusting color. Remove Color Cast with a special tool by detecting and adjusting the hue.

The Toning tool corrects overall brightness and contrast for a balanced image. This is one of the most important tools to get the right tonal harmony for your photo.

Dramatic. From fashion shots to urban images to grungy athletic portraits, achieve a gritty cinematic look similar to what you could achieve with the bleach bypass technique in a darkroom.

The Color Harmony tool offers several advanced options for precise color control. Adjust Brilliance, Warmth, and Contrast as well as the amount and balance of a selected color group.

The Film Grain tool emulates the structure of analog film stock by adding random, stylized grain to your image.

Dodge & Burn tools allow fine control when lightening or darkening an image. The Dodge & Burn tool simulates traditional techniques used by photographers in a darkroom to regulate the amount of light on a particular area, which is useful for portrait retouching and object volumizing.

Vignette. Take complete control over the shape and position of the vignette to accentuate meaningful details. Refine the image with inner brightness for improved contrast and get professional, realistic results.

The High Key tool imitates the look achieved by high key lighting, where the main light source slightly overexposes the subject. It produces high-contrast portraits and is often used in fashion and beauty photography.

The Optics tool is designed to remove flaws in the image caused by the lens or camera handling, with special adjustments for raw images. With Optics, you can get rid of wide-angle distortion and remove chromatic aberrations to achieve truer perspective, clear object contours, and more attractive portraits.

The Light tool contains the most essential controls for adjusting the color and tone of an image. White Balance, Profile, Temperature, Tint, Exposure, and Smart Contrast adjustments made with this tool set the stage for all further adjustments.
