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 erasure feature, which is sensational. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

Skylum Luminar Neo - a top tool
Skylum has developed a fantastic program with Luminar (currently Neo). You can buy it outright or use it via a subscription. The subscription offers ...
additional extra tools that would otherwise cost a lot of money. It's quick to learn and you can easily achieve impressive results. It's especially suitable for casual users who don't want to spend a lot of time learning the ropes. Unfortunately, it's also very resource-intensive, so you'll need modern hardware.
