Let’s start with the unsung hero: . In traditional editors, masking is a careful, often tedious dance of brush strokes and edge detection. In Luminar Neo, it’s almost invisible. luminar neo tools

With a few clicks, you can replace a dull, overcast sky with a dramatic sunset, a starry night, or a stormy tempest. But the 2.0 version goes further: it realistically relights the entire scene based on the new sky’s direction and color temperature. Reflections in water, highlights on skin, the glow on a car’s hood—all adapt automatically. | Tool | Best For | AI-Powered

With a single click, Mask AI distinguishes between sky, ground, people, and objects. Want to darken a too-bright sky without affecting the mountain below? Done. Need to warm up a subject’s skin without altering the snowy background? Two clicks. The tool works in the background of almost every other feature, making complex selections feel like magic—not mathematics. “I stopped thinking about masks,” one portrait photographer told us. “I just think about the light I want.” In Luminar Neo, it’s almost invisible

A backlit portrait with a blown-out window? Drop the background exposure while lifting the subject. A landscape shot at noon? Add warmth to the foreground rocks and cool down the distant peaks. It’s not HDR merging. It’s light painting after the fact.

At the heart of that shift are Luminar Neo’s signature tools. They don’t feel like incremental updates. They feel like small superpowers.
