The interface feels clean and straightforward - you can jump right into editing without getting lost in endless menus. Features like GenErase, Relight AI, and Sky AI actually make editing faster and more creative, not just automated. I especially like how natural the results look, no harsh filters or artificial tones. The one-time license is a big plus, and updates keep improving both speed and stability. It’s clear the team listens to users and keeps refining the software.

I really like this editor — it saves me a lot of time when editing photos after shoots. The interface is easy to use, and there are so many tools included that I no longer need to open several different programs — everything is in one place. It’s fast, convenient, and reliable — definitely one of the best tools I’ve added to my editing routine.

A very cool editor! Fast, simple, everything is clear, I don't even need a tutorial. And with so many presets, I spend a minimum of time on processing. I definitely recommend it for both professionals and beginners.

I love photographing old architecture. I've always struggled with distortion: the walls seem to fall into the frame. In Neo, you just move a couple of sliders, and everything is perfect. No ruler, no fuss.

For everyday editing, this app is perfect. I can adjust my body shape subtly in just a couple of taps, and it looks completely natural. The detailing tool is great — small, medium, and large areas can be enhanced individually, perfect for fur, textures, and fine details.
Luminar Neo is going in the right direction. Yes, it does not replace Lightroom 100% yet, but in 80% of cases I do not open it.
