10/21/2023 0 Comments Luminar neo testversion![]() In the demonstration I used an image of the sky (below), in the first image I have put red circles around the dust spots to highlight the dust spots (and their intensity). These tools are fairly self-explanatory where dust spot removal uses AI & machine learning to identify dust spots in the image and remove them, whilst Power Line Removal does the same but removes power lines from the image. This preview demonstrates a number of features, but in this article I am looking at Dust Spot Removal AI and Powerline Removal AI. ![]() ![]() This however, recently changed when I was provided access to a technology preview which allowed me to use my own images to demonstrate some of the limited features which are demonstrated in the technology preview. Whilst I have announced a number of different features, I have until now only been provided with examples from Skylum to demonstrate some of the features. On the other hand, Luminar Neo is more about making more complex edits, using layering, and rebuilds the underlying engine completely to support more complex edits (where Luminar Neo is more akin to Photoshop). Whilst a full description of all the packages is outside of the scope of this article, Luminar AI is a photo editor which is designed to help people make simple edits to their photos, and focus on the results (if you were to compare it would be akin to Lightroom). For those who are not aware Skylum are the creators of a range of software utilities / editors including Aurora HDR, as well as Luminar AI and some time ago they announced (to some criticism) their upcoming Luminar Neo program. Updated 10/5/21: With the recent announcement of Luminar Neo, shipping this winter, Skylum users have questioned the direction the company and what will become of current software, like Luminar 4.I use the Skylum range of photo editing tools on a daily basis (from Aurora HDR to Luminar AI), and as an affiliate of their program I received early access to a technology preview build of “ Luminar Neo” to test out the DustAI and PowerLineAI Removal tools. Visit the Skylum website for more information.īut as of October 4, Skylum has announced that Luminar 4 has been retired but the company will continue to provide support to current users for a limited period of time. Skylum, the developers of Luminar AI, will soon launch another stand-alone photo editor and the new software will use 3D depth mapping to correct light. WHEN WILL LUMINAR NEO BE AVAILABLE SOFTWARE Skylum’s Luminar Neo, expected to launch this winter, is a Photoshop-Lightroom plug-in that mixes AI-based edits with layer-based editing, specifically targeting photographers’ pain points and simplifying complex editing routines. Creators can combine multiple images as layers on a single canvas, including RAW images for maximum control over color and light. ![]() Blending, masking and opacity can be used to create collages, double exposure effects and other powerfully creative interactions between layered photos. Originally teased earlier this month, Luminar has since shared more features that the upcoming program will feature. Relight AI uses the program’s 3D depth mapping to independently correct the foreground or background. Uneven lighting is a common photography issue, particularly when access to lighting gear is limited. Luminar says that Relight AI allows photo editors to independently correct those issues, adjusting the exposure of the background but not the subject, for example. The newly-teased Relight AI joins some of Luminar’s existing tools, like Sky Enhancer AI, Accent AI, and Portrait Bokeh AI with a new layer-based program. The program will also include Mask AI, which will automatically mask portraits, skies, water, mountains, vegetation, and architecture for localized adjustments. Luminar says the program will also automatically remove sensor dust spots, as well as eliminate power lines. Skylum says that while automatic background removal is generally sufficient, edges can be refined quickly. Skylum’s Luminar Neo applies the edits at the export, rather than as each change is made. That allows editors to go back and undo or adjust previous edits without loosing other work, the company says. Skylum launched Luminar AI less than a year ago. Neo appears to take that same AI-focused approach, but directed at a different user, with Layers suggesting that Luminar is reaching for photographers who would typically use a layer-based program like Photoshop.
