Luminar Neo

Pros: Awesome team support. I had a problem on Sunday morning and they resolved it in ten minutes answering in real time.

Cons: The program is still evolving and sometimes you need to wait for the new update.

Overall: I love this software because you can do everything you need for you photo without big complications and with great results.

Pros: *Very easy to use.
*Modern and nice design.
*Fast editing with amazing results.
*A multitude of presets that save time and work.
*Fine-tuning of each preset.

Cons: Telephone support in Spanish language.

Overall: Easy and fun, short learning curve, with many editing possibilities. Surprising results even for inexperienced users like me.

Pros: Great program with a very good user Interface.
Excellent customer service! Had a question about the installing process.
And was helped very quickly by the customer service!

Cons: Only had problem with the installation. Could not login via start up on the Skylum account.
Overall everything is good!

Overall: Good program for beginners and pro' s! Easy to use even without reading the manual! Very fast and many presets to use!

Pros: The ease of use and the precision of the tools make this software one of the best I have ever used. I consider it essential for post-processing exceptional photos.

Cons: I've been using it for a year and so far I haven't found any defects.

Overall: I used to use other tools for photo post production but since I tried Luminar I only use this software.

Pros: Luminar Neo is versatile, easy to learn and use. And gives you good results. And there are all the options you need - and even some more.

Cons: Sometimes it could be nice to use different text and fonts, but, then again, it is not that important.

Overall: I have used, and still use both Photoshop and Lightroom. But these past few years I mostly only use Luminar Neo. In Luminar Neo you have everything you would ever need. And, yes, sometimes I also use Luminar Neo just to play around, kind of as an amusement. Silly, yes, but that is how wonderful Luminar Neo is.

Pros: Much easier to use than Photoshop, with better results in shorter time. I use it in conjunction with Apple Photos as an external editor. I originally started a subscription after evaluating Luminar Neo against other editors such as Inpaint, and Super Eraser for the erase application. Luminar turned out to be best. Later I discovered its AI functions, which are quite impressive.

Cons: The DeNoise sliders need improvement. I obtain better results with Topaz DeNoise, and use it for photos taken at high Iso. The erase brush is not perfect, and multiple applications are required to obtain acceptable results with complicated backgrounds.

Overall: Excellent. This program has exceeded my expectations, especially in the use of AI in editing (Structure sliders for example). Erase functions are the main attraction (can still be improved), but I also use dodge/burn and the clone tool quite a bit. Many photos can be dramatically improved with a change of sky. Much, much easier and faster than Photoshop.

Pros: The program is very easy to use, and thanks to the tutorials on youtube, even beginners can quickly achieve good results. I can only praise the support: a small problem (the raw profiles were not displayed, although they were RAW images) was solved quickly and competently.

Cons: The speed for loading the images is simply too long (despite the new fast computer). there are camera profiles available for RAW images, but I have not yet found an automatic lens correction like in Lightroom.

Overall: Very good tool to quickly achieve appealing results, good additional AI tools, unfortunately with weaknesses in speed.

Pros: I have had several minor issues about using Luminar Neo and have therefore consulted the support team.
On each occasion I have been very pleased with the speed of response and the answers to my issues, which have all been resolved due to the assistance received.

Cons: Doesn't apply as all my issues were resolved by the team.

Overall: Excellent support from the team. The response to my issues was almost immediate and all the issues were resolved by them. Can highly recommend!

Pros: Easy programme to use for post processing with lots of presets and tools that work, and I like being able to use it as a plug-in to Apple Photo.

Cons: Difficult if you are not totally computer savvy to update and get new presets in to Luminar Neo in my opinion.

Overall: Good; brilliant support that has been very rapid in responding and all replies to emails handled by one person which is appreciated by this customer.

Pros: Ease of use, several very useful features (e.g. super sharp, relight), very good masking.
Very responsive support.

Cons: - no possibility to attach comments to photos;
- lack of function to add individual photo to album (catalog view - > select photo-> right click on photo->the only possibility to choose is "Create album"),
- no chance to organize albums (no tags)

Overall: I would recommend Luminar Neo for quick adjustments of photos.
For other more demanding use of features there is longer experience needed.

Pros: I like they offer pretty much everything I need to add on my pictures. It is simple and easy.
Love the Gen Erase.

Cons: The price!!

Also I love the way Luminar 4 show all your folders picture on the side and under while you work a photo. Too bad you don't have that anymore.

Overall: The customer service is awesome.

Sometime adding new things is good but don't remove the good one like Luminar 4. Otherwise I like Luminar Neo.

Pros: First, the product and its upgrades are great. As with any good program, there are times when technical support is needed to solve a particular problem. This is where Luminar really shines. The chat function as well as using emails to contact support is fast - no waiting for 20 minutes just to have someone plow through a checklist to try to solve your problem. The tech support is very well trained identified my problems and was able to give me a direct answer.

Cons: There is a learning curve but that is to be expected when learning a new product.

Overall: Excellent product and the support is prompt and solves the problem without bouncing around to try to find a solution.

Pros: Intelligent smart adjustments and fast replies to emails. The multi-frame batch mode is convenient and fast.

Cons: There is no cloud service. Burdens the machine when disk space is reduced.

Overall: I'm happy with my purchase because it's easier than Lightroom. Editing is easy. On the plus side, you can buy more editing apps and pay every two years.

Pros: The quick answers to my problem. Clear and understandable for me even though I didn't learn English properly.

Cons: Hat the service is good and the follow-up for problems is not dismissed with small talk.
But expertly expressed.

Overall: That I don't have to be afraid to get an answer to problems.

If I have a problem again I will not hesitate to contact you.

Pros: The discussion with the technician. The explanations via the emails received and the questions asked in order to solve the problem.

Cons: The crash after an update. I’ve had a lot of updates and this is the first time that happens to me.

Overall: The crash happened just before the weekend, no luck but Monday everything was back to normal and I was able to continue developing the photos for a contest.

Pros: Capabilities. ease of use. easy layout. Great for amateurs and pros alike.

Cons: Skylum has gone down the route of subscriptions.

Overall: I have used all Skylum Luminar products and have found them easier to use than others

Pros: Modern technology and easy to use. The interface is quite intuitive and easy to come to grips with. The use of AI was a leading example for others to follow.

Cons: Frequent updates with new features/changes can overwhelm those who are not constantly using the software. The price however will have to stay competitive with the competition.

Overall: Overall it's a good product and it is quickly becoming a viable alternative to Photoshop/Lightroom. Skylum has made many photographer tasks easier and fun to use

Pros: The program is very intuitive, easy to use and simply fantastic, it identifies the elements of the photo and creates modifications perfectly that adapt to the photo elements and photo lighting.

Cons: Until now didn't find anything that I didn't like.

Overall: Just great can edit a photo in minutes beautiful menus easy to learn just great the AI is amazing works very well scaling denoise color brightness editing works very well too.

Pros: I was ready to delete the application, but Anastasia's extreme responsiveness paid off. My sincere thanks to her.

Cons: Nothing special.

Overall: I use Luminar Neo only incidentally, preferring to use PhotoShop and the quality of my Nikon D850 camera, which drives me to constantly improve my shots.

Pros: It can be used as a standalone tool, and it can also be integrated to tools such as Photoshop & Lightroom. Needless to say, Generative AI feature improves efficiency.

Cons: It can be quite complex for beginners to set everything up initially. However, once you are settled, everything becomes extremely simple.

Overall: Extremely satisfied with what the tool offers, both as standalone tool and as a plugin for Photoshop & Lightroom. The pricing is more than fair.
