Very easy to use and get started. A few quick toggles here and there and photos are literally transformed. I like that I don't have to try and get the perfect photos anymore - I ensure my photos are not blurry and have sufficient light - that's it. Everything else is modified/fixed on Luminar. Features are great and can tweak a lot of aspects of the photo including skin imperfections, light reflections, etc. Their support team is great by the way and are quick to respond even for queries that may not exactly be linked to their software. I have a secondary laptop that initially did not have the latest graphics driver to support Luminar. Lisa from their support team figured this out and pointed me in the right direction to get my laptop to be compatible with the software. This effort is what prompted me to take the time to give this review. My previous interactions with their support team have all been great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Luminar Neo? Nothing to dislike per se, but need to learn all the features soon to ensure I completely utilise the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
