But it IS performing operations automatically that mimic what photographers do manually, and slowly! The AI works out where the face, the light, the background is, so you can focus on how you want to treat those areas with a single slider. It’s not ‘learning’ your editing style, it’s not editing for you as that’s a whole different ball-game (argument). Sure, Luminar Neo does not have the full power of Photoshop, but you also don’t need to do an evening-course at a local college to use it! Artificial IntelligenceĪI is a term applied to various editing platforms at the moment, and where AI is used here it’s sensible and controlled.

Note that there are far fewer options than Lightroom Classic here for importing, adding metadata, keywords and searching your photos. As well as categorising by date, it has folders and albums for you to organise things. If you’re considering using Luminar Neo as your main editing platform, then this is where all your raw files will live. If you’ve used Lightroom Classic then this will be familiar.
