Luminar Neo Reviews & Product Details

Luminar Neo impressed me with how intelligently it processes images under the hood. The AI engine analyzes depth, texture, and light direction before applying corrections — this makes tools like Relight AI, Structure AI, and Enhance AI behave contextually rather than just applying global changes. The Geometry AI tool automatically fixes lens distortion and perspective, which is especially useful for architecture shots from ultra-wide lenses. Performance-wise, the software uses GPU acceleration effectively — exporting 42MP RAW files takes only a few seconds on my RTX 4070 system. The new cache cleanup and multithreaded preview rendering noticeably reduce lag during bulk editing. I also like that you can stack adjustments non-destructively, combine them with layers and blend modes, and export to multiple formats (TIFF, PSD, DNG) without losing metadata.

Layer blending options are still limited compared to Photoshop, and the histogram panel could be more informative — for example, showing color clipping zones. Batch renaming and folder synchronization also need fine-tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the number of tools in Luminar Neo and their constant development. Existing tools are being improved, and new ones are being added regularly.

I also note the ease of use, you don't have to search for a long time or learn some secret combinations, everything is set up with sliders and is intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Despite the large selection of tools, I'm a little lacking in such basic things as adding text and drawing. Also, object selection in mask mode still doesn't work well, it selects too roughly, and you still have to edit a lot with the brush. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how fast I can get stuff done. The AI tools (like Sky Replacement and Relight) are pretty smart. Most edits take just a few clicks and look good right away. The layout’s simple and not overloaded with buttons, which makes it easy to use even if you’re not a pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it gets a bit slow with bigger RAW files, and not every AI mask is perfect, especially when there’s tricky lighting or fine details like hair or trees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy of use, the fact that is standalone but also a plugin for Lightroom. And the pricing is amazing.

It works very nice, the AI and generative tools are great, I love every second spent in this app.

i've used it lately almost daily and I'll stick with it for a long time. Installation is easy, almost seamless on Macs but for Windows as well. Integrates nicely with Lr. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes tends to be bit slow, even on M4 Macs. Also masking and layer tools are not super intuitive, you can easily mess something if you don't pay enough attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am beginner in photography and in photo editing too. It was important for me to start editing quickly without extra education ( I mean Adobe products). Luminar Neo has intuitive design, it is easy to start working with it. It covers all my needs and even more - I've already created my own presets that I always use.

If I have some questions, support team always help me so fast and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the variety of tools in Luminar Neo and that they are constantly updating the functionality and adding relevant AI tools, such as Genexpand, which helps to complement a photo, or tools for removing elements from the background.
