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.
