You can also apply any tool to any layer in any order (and multiple times). Of the things they did announce though, there are some useful tools, including AI-based dust and spot removal (thank you!), AI-based image relighting and AI-based masks for layers. I’m not going to go into too many details here, as you can find out everything you need to know about it on the Skylum website. They are also keen to point out that this is an “Image” editor rather than purely a “Photo” editor, meaning that it can be used for more than just pure photography. Think of it as “Photoshop” to Luminar AI’s “Lightroom.” - This is just an analogy, of course. The gist of it is that Luminar Neo will be a more advanced image editor, with layers, more functionality, and an entirely new imaging engine. They will continue to provide updates over the next while as they edge closer to an actual shipping product. They haven’t announced a huge number of details at this stage - as it’s primarily an announcement rather than a release. So, what’s new, and what’s the difference? It is a separate application from Luminar AI and Luminar AI will continue to be sold. They are billing this a new product and a new member of the Luminar family. Today Skylum announced a new product - Luminar Neo.
