General Updates
We’re excited to present the long-anticipated Luminar Neo Upgrade 1.21.0/1.21.1, full of incredible new features and improvements. Let’s discover them all together!
Exclusively for Luminar Neo Subscribers and the Upgrade Pass 2024/25 owners:
Color Transfer. Easily recreate the photos you've always admired by mimicking the color palettes of any reference image. Adjust the result until you’re satisfied. Activate ‘Match Similar Objects’ Colors’, which transfers colors between similar objects, such as sky to sky or transport to transport.
Smart Search. Find images in your Catalog thanks to this machine-learning based feature that lets you search not only filenames, dates, and extensions, but also concepts like “Christmas tree” or “car in front of mountains” and locate photos in your Catalog containing these objects.
Color Masking. Easily create masks based on specific colors in your photo for precise color edits. Adjust the color range with a special range slider.
All Luminar Neo owners:
You’ll discover lots of Catalog improvements that make for a more convenient experience. Conveniently see your photo’s name and a more detailed view of your photo’s information; star rate for better organization of your photos; enjoy a more structured and detailed view of the Catalog, use a clearly intuitive contoured grid when dragging images, as well as other small interface improvements.
Enjoy an improved filtering of the Catalog: by camera model, focal length, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, rating, and more parameters to always find the exact photo you need.
Create virtual copies — multiple versions of a single photo without duplicating the original file — for handy experiments with styles and crops that keep the original photo intact.
Sort folders and albums by different attributes, making it easier to find and access specific albums or folders.
Use the filmstrip in the Edit and Presets tab to switch quickly between images without exiting to Catalog mode. Concentrate on editing without interruptions, or quickly sync adjustments across multiple photos.
Notice the improved quality of Relight AI, which delivers more accurate and visually stunning lighting adjustments in your photos.
On top of that, Luminar Neo 1.21.0/1.21.1 offers a smoother and more responsive experience, thanks to the numerous bugs we’ve identified and resolved. Update now to enjoy all these features and enhancements!
