3 reasons you need AI photo editing app Luminar Neo

Luminar Neo is always one step ahead in photo editing with AI features. The Spring 2024 update - to be released on April 25, 2024 - introduces 3 must-have AI photo editing features. Let's see what they are!

1. Water Enhancer AI

Have you ever captured a beautiful water scene but the color of the water ruined the photo? Luminar Neo's AI Water Enhancer can fix that in seconds. The Water Enhancer tool automatically identifies and masks any areas of water in the image. Additionally, you can fine-tune the AI ​​selection if needed.

Find the Water Enhancer tool in the Landscape editor and use it to change colors from dirty, dark, or dull browns to natural colors like blues and greens with luminescent reflections. The Water Enhancer AI tool has 6 sliders: Amount (intensity), Blue, Green, Original Color, Brightness and Contrast.

Below the main tool are options to refine the mask. Here, you can draw, erase, or restore the masked area, and within it, you can change the mask's size, softness, strength, outline, and depth.

This AI tool provides natural and uniform results which saves a lot of time. There are many other ways to use Luminar Neo more effectively to enhance your photos.

2. Twilight Enhancer AI

Luminar Neo's Twilight Enhancer AI tool helps enhance twilight scenes. And it's not just to edit the sky in the twilight photo but also the entire scene accordingly.

Upload the image to Catalog and find the Twilight Enhancer tool in the Landscape editing tool. The main tool provides overall adjustments and masks, with a choice of 5 gradient preset settings. Like Water Enhancer AI, you can create and refine the masked area if you only want to edit the sky or part of your photo.

There are also sliders that affect five selected areas of your photo, so you can individually edit parts of your landscape, including Sky, Dawn, Scene, Water Reflection, and Mask Refinement.

With the Twilight Enhancer AI tool, not only can you create the perfect sky for your scene, but individual sliders also let you get the color, shadows, and exposure just right. Twilight Enhancer AI can be called a 6-in-1 tool!

3. Object Select AI

Object Select AI is Luminar Neo's tool for quickly selecting objects or shapes in photos. This is useful when you have multiple areas to select and saves time drawing precise selections around each area.

You can find this handy tool in the Masking section of any editing tool. With it, you can use AI to select the areas where you want to apply the selected tool.

With the Add and Subtract options, it's easy to add or remove masks from multiple elements. Go back to Adjustments and any adjustments you make will be applied to the areas where the mask was applied. Quick and simple, with great results.

Luminar Neo also has several Generative AI tools released in 2023. GenSwap lets you add or replace objects, GenExpand lets you expand your outline, and GenErase lets you easily delete elements without leaving a trace.
