I'm thrilled with Luminar Neo!
I'm generally thrilled with Luminar Neo! It's easy-to-use software with excellent results. Of course, you have to spend some time learning it, maybe even ...
watch a few tutorials, but it's definitely worth it! Exporting the images is a bit of a hassle for me, since Luminar Neo doesn't access the hard drive's data! Also, the editing process generates a lot of junk data. Is there a way to delete this?
...but what the software is supposed to do – edit and enhance images – it does exceptionally well!
Best regards, Siegfried

Super Programm
I've been using the program for a year now. Before that, I tried paid versions from other providers as well as freeware. Luminar is ...
incredibly intuitive to use. Simple and efficient. That's exactly what's needed for amateur photographers who don't want to immediately pursue a degree in professional photo editing software. The results are excellent, especially the generative deletion feature, which is sensational. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make an image transparent?
With a good tool like Luminar Neo, it’s very simple. Upload your photo, choose the background removal tool, and within seconds the background is removed. This is perfect for creative projects, overlays, or collages.
What file format should I use for a transparent image?
If you want to save an image with a transparent background, you need the right file format. PNG is the standard because it supports transparency and is recognized by most tools and platforms. JPG is not suitable, as it always renders a background (usually white). TIFF can also support transparency, but the files are much larger and are typically used for printing rather than web or social media.
How can I make multiple images transparent at once?
If you need to process many images—such as product photos or portraits for a project—you don’t have to edit them one by one. Luminar Neo offers batch processing. Upload several images, apply the background removal tool once, and let the software process the rest automatically. This helps save time while keeping the results consistent.
Why does my transparent image still have a white background?
This usually happens when the image is saved in the wrong format. JPG files cannot display transparency, so empty areas are automatically filled with white. To avoid this, export your image as a PNG file. In Luminar Neo, you can do this in just one step, ensuring the background remains truly transparent.
