RELEASE DATE OF LUMINAR NEO SOFTWARE

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. 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. Uneven lighting is a common photography issue, particularly when access to lighting gear is limited. Relight AI uses the program’s 3D depth mapping to independently correct the foreground or background. Originally teased earlier this month, Luminar has since shared more features that the upcoming program will feature. Blending, masking and opacity can be used to create collages, double exposure effects and other powerfully creative interactions between layered photos. Creators can combine multiple images as layers on a single canvas, including RAW images for maximum control over color and light. 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.

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. Visit the Skylum website for more information. But 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. 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.
