The surprise (and perhaps the controversy) is the dramatically streamlined new interface. 

Skylum has turned the photography industry on its head with the release of Luminar 4. It’s no exaggeration to say that photo editing will never be the same again.

Luminar is an all-in-one photo editing and effects program that comes with its own built in Library tool for browsing, searching and organising your photos. All its tools are ‘non-destructive’, so you can go back at any time to undo the changes you’ve made to your pictures or try a different look completely. Imagine Lightroom with massively expanded editing and effects tools, but much less sophisticated cataloging. Luminar does not have Adobe’s cloud sync and mobile app support. Luminar’s speciality is AI (artificial intelligence) tools which can analyse the image to identify objects and subject types to mask and edit them selectively. The AI Sky Enhancer is an early example, but the technology has moved on a long way since then, with the AI Portrait Enhancer panel in the latest version, AI Sky Replacement and AI Augmented Skytools. You can carry out all the usual routine photo editing adjustments too, but Luminar’s real drive is towards enhanced, augmented and reimagined reality. I...

Skylum, the company behind the popular photo-editing software Luminar has just recently announced a new iteration to the software – Luminar AI.As it is with most other the photo editing software these days, Skylum too seems to have embraced the buzzword i.e. Artificial Intelligence with this update.
