Skylum Luminar AI
£79/$79
Luminar AI aims to take the tedium out of photo editing with its all-new AI-driven approach to image enhancement
Luminar AI is designed to take the drudge out of photo editing, handling all the previously technical and time-consuming tasks of selecting and masking and manual sliders with its own automated machine-learning AI.
It’s not trying to tempt photographers away from software they love. Instead, it’s aiming at what Skylum thinks is a much wider market of photographers and content creators who simply want beautiful images without the fuss.
Skylum has taken a bold step. It is ending development of Luminar 4 and taking its core technologies in a new direction. That may disappoint a lot of Luminar fans hoping for a more sophisticated and advanced Lightroom or Photoshop alternative. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen now.
Key features
Luminar AI is an all-in-one non-destructive photo cataloguing and editing program. You can use it to browse, filter and organize your photos, and any changes you make with templates or filters can be reversed or modified at any time.
