"Great AI software for hobbyist photographers to get their perfect photos with quick tweaks"
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Very easy to use and get started. A few quick toggles here and there and photos are literally transformed. I like that I don't have to try and get the perfect photos anymore - I ensure my photos are not blurry and have sufficient light - that's it. Everything else is modified/fixed on Luminar. Features are great and can tweak a lot of aspects of the photo including skin imperfections, light reflections, etc. Their support team is great by the way and are quick to respond even for queries that may not exactly be linked to their software. I have a secondary laptop that initially did not have the latest graphics driver to support Luminar. Lisa from their support team figured this out and pointed me in the right direction to get my laptop to be compatible with the software. This effort is what prompted me to take the time to give this review. My previous interactions with their support team have all been great as well.

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Nothing to dislike per se, but need to learn all the features soon to ensure I completely utilise the software.

What problems is Skylum Luminar Neo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Photo editing software that's not complicated.

"Fast help from Skylum with Luminar Neo problem."
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

After I contacted Luminar they analysed the problem and helped me to solve it.

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

After my problem is solved, I'm happy. It's a product that is constantly improved. This involves hickups. But these are unavoidable in my opinion!

What problems is Skylum Luminar Neo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Luminar Neo helps me to automaticaly improve my photos. I use it in my workflow: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom > Topaz Photo AI > Luminar Neo. I make series of photos for my customers, this workflow allows me to quickly edit series of 150-250 photos. I can do the last two steps unattended, Which makes my time more efficient.

"One Click Photo Editing - The Future Has Arrived"
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Luminar is easily my favourite photo editing software. Effects that are hard to get right in other photo editing software and even basic adjustments are made so easy with Luminar. Every effect/adjustment you could need to get the most of your photographs are all easily reached and in view instantly. I love the slider for each effect/adjustment so I can tweak everything until it is perfect. The sky replacement feature is next-level. Yes, other software can do it, but not with the same results I have achieved with Luminar. Luminar will always be my choice for ease of use & pure speed!

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

The one complaint I have with Luminar is the Sky Replacement feature could still use some work. While I believe it is still ahead of the competition overall, when working with complex scenes such as tree branches/leaves or a hazy horizon, the result leaves a lot to be desired. In these complex scenes, white halos are left around the leaves and branches where the software could not tell what was sky and what was not.

What problems is Skylum Luminar Neo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Luminar makes it trivial to turn a good photo into a jaw-dropping photo. This means less time spent trying to make an effect look perfect as it is already done for me. With Luminar, I can get 10 photos looking perfect where I could previously only do about 3 with other software. The saying goes "Time is Money" and in this case, it couldn't be more true.
