"The BEST Ai Photo Editing Software "So Far"
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Luminar is the most powerful "Artificial Intelligence" photo editing software "SO FAR" because... - It makes the photo editing processes done easier and faster + Getting amazing results - It includes massive Ai photo editing tools like "Sky Replacement" it’s a very smart - It includes very smart Ai photo editing tools for portrait pictures "for humans" - It includes a lot of amazing ready to use "Templates" which save time in the photo editing process - It provides 6 cool & important exporting formats "including export to photoshop"

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Luminar is an amazing Ai photo editing tool "that's right!" but there are some things I don't like about it... Like - It takes a big size of ram - The export process takes some time "It’s not very quick" - The exported "edited image" become bigger than the original "in size MB" and this is noticeable!

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

Luminar saves me a lot of time and effort in removing the background from my clients' photos, Luminar can do that very quickly and accurately using the Sky Ai tool, I can use this tool to do a lot of edits on my clients' photos "not just changing the sky"... Also, Luminar helps me to edit the raw images of some products of my clients "it’s faster than photoshop" this is due to the artificial intelligence that exists in many tools in Luminar

"Great supplement or replacement to Photoshop"
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

Luminar is easy to use. As a photography enthusiast, I don't necessarily want to spend a lot of my time learning how to edit photos. I do have Photoshop but at time I feel I can get the results I want quicker and easier when using Luminar. I have Luminar 4 and Luminar AI.

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

It can be clunky and slow and I still prefer the filing & saving system in Photoshop.

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

Split toning, dodge & burn, background replacement is all just easier in Luminar

"Amazing AI editing software"
What do you like best about Skylum Luminar Neo?

I love the ability to edit photos and create amazing sky background changes to landscape photos.

What do you dislike about Skylum Luminar Neo?

That some functions dont let you use them when a face or object that is needed to edit or make a change is not present. I also find the Eraser tool and removal tool hard to use.

I am able to edit photos more efficiently because the built in tools are quick and using the artificial intelligence options it does the work for me. This saves so much time when working with many file edits.
