Enhance AI, part of Luminar, processes your original file locally and exports at full resolution with no watermark, so the output stays licensing-clean for commercial and editorial use. Free online enhancers typically return a watermarked, resolution-capped file instead, fine for a quick preview but not for a client deliverable.
What this means for you: one tool for a business’s press kit and a photographer’s print order alike, instead of switching between a free web tool and paid software per project.
With Luminar, you can edit your photos faster, with greater precision and more creative control.
Enhance AI scans the image for exposure, color balance, and fine detail in a single pass, then applies corrections proportionally – brightening shadows without blowing out highlights, boosting saturation without oversaturating skin tones. Every adjustment stays on its own editable layer, so you can dial the effect up or down afterward instead of committing to a fixed result.
Pro Tip: Enhance AI reads more image data from a RAW file than from a compressed JPEG. For scanned or already-compressed source photos, run Enhance AI before any other edit, not after – it recalibrates exposure and color as its first pass.

Yes. Luminar Neo supports RAW files from all major camera manufacturers alongside JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC. RAW files contain more image information than JPGs, and Luminar uses this additional data to achieve optimal results. You can adjust exposure, white balance, and details to reach the highest possible image quality.
