Luminar AI is still available!Īnd also, let's not forget that Luminar AI is continuing to be sold, as it and Luminar Neo are aimed at different types of photographers. I'm not a programmer, I'm a photographer and an image editor but I'm sure happy that the programmers are going out of their way to make my editing life more fun and less repetitive and tedious.

So, if Skylum’s co-founder and Chief Technical Officer tells me that they simply couldn't include all the cool features I just talked about, in luminary AI, then who am I to know better. We have to bear in mind that we are on the cutting-edge of AI-driven image editing here and that frankly, Skylum has made possible some pretty advanced things like sky replacement, even in water reflections, that no one else is doing right now. It just can't do it with the engine it has and the same goes for Luminar. It's like expecting a nice family car to run a formula 1 race. But secondly, during the meeting that I was in, it was emphasized that these technologies are so advanced, and also resource-intensive that they simply could not be integrated into the Luminar AI engine.
#LUMINAR NEO NEW FEATURES UPDATE#
Now a lot of you have asked: ‘Why couldn't Skylum simply include these new features as an update to Luminar AI instead of releasing a new product?’ Well, first of all, I think a big part of the update versus new product debate has become kind of moot because of the catalog translation tool that I talked about at the beginning of this video. I can't reveal everything yet, but here are a couple of things that we can share already.

I was also invited to an online meeting with the Skylum management last Friday and we got to see and hear some of the features that are going to be included in Luminar AI either right from the start or in one of the early updates. Now, the other good news is that Skylum released some more insight on what Luminar Neo will be able to do.

It's important to underline that it won't be available right from the start's but it's been officially added to the roadmap for a future update of Luminar Neo. So, the good news is that Skylum has announced that they will provide a migration tool to migrate Luminar 4 and Luminar AI catalogs to Luminar Neo. Now, if you are using Luminar as a plug-in, the catalog format doesn't really matter to you but if you use Luminar as a stand-alone application, like a lot of you do, then it's annoying to say the least that with every new product you either have to start from scratch or resort to convoluted workarounds like exporting all of your edited images from the old version and importing them into the new one. Some of the long-term Luminar users complained – rightly so I think – about the fact that Luminar Neo introduced yet another catalog format that was not compatible with the catalog of Luminar 4 or Luminar AI. Let's start with that! Luminar 4 and AI Catalogs will be able to be migrated to Luminar Neo! Skylum just announced more details about Luminar Neo, and in addition to many examples of before-and-afters, it also includes good news for existing users of Luminar 4 and Luminar AI.
