It’s many tools are in disconnect with interface problems, lack on expandability and they try to sell extras and instead of fixing slow or buggy features. Skylum is treating Luminar more like a mobile app than a serious pro photography tool. So while it might be easier to learn and get started (for sure it’s easier than Photoshop) it’s also far more limited, has lower quality Raw processing and it’s lacking a lot of basic pro grade features.
Neo is a powerful tool but it’s just as expensive and Lightroom and Photoshop Combined. Is it worth using Luminar Neo vs Capture One vs Lightroom? In this case I( used just Shadow and Highlight on the RAW file. My tough test RAW file shows that Luminar Neo is far behind Lightroom and Capture One is detailed processing. Something Lightroom used to suffer from, but these days is maybe even a bit ahead of Capture One. Instead of giving a smooth roll-off in clipping, it bands. AI seems to work more of less Ai-like.īUT as I showed in the video and below, Luminar falls apart in more difficult shadow and highlight situations. Masks are clean, selections are nice if a bit slow. How well does Luminar Neo vs Lightroom Process your files. This like LR and C1 is is a RAW style editor first. But it’s still nothing close when it comes to the layer based editing to Photoshop or even Affinity Photos. And to a point, it does that with fun add on’s, AI tools and some basic layer control. Luminar is trying to bridge the gap between photoshop and Lightroom. It actually has more tools than Lightroom, even if some are a bit gimmicky, many are quite useful. In general Luminar Neo gives a broad suite of editing tools for RAW files. With things like UNDO not even working as of March 2023 (v1.7) this app is not ready to be a photographers daily driver.
I feels like Skylum has been focusing on fun features that advertise, rather than refining the app and making it pro tuned. I admit, comparing Lightroom vs Luminar Neo surprised me!īoth in that Luminar Neo does a lot of things, but also I expected more. Download the Filmist free pack and the very least and give it try. Also use my Filmist LUTS in Luminar Neo as LUTS work amazing in Neo. Download my Free Luminar Neo preset I made for the video.
