Luminar AI is now available as either a one-time purchase that you own forever or as a Luminar X Membership which comes with photography courses, new and fresh templates and skies, and more. The intelligent features are meant to help you make your images look their very best while spending the least amount of time behind the computer. Other AI features – in addition to Composition AI – include Body AI, Atmosphere AI, Augmented Sky AI, Accent AI, Sky AI, Bokeh AI (coming very soon), and Iris AI. I’m proud to say I contributed with this particular feature as a Global Ambassador for Skylum Software. The Edit Module is similar to Luminar 4 but with quite a few additions including Composition AI which gives recommendations on cropping and the amount of negative space. A big addition is the Templates module for one-click processing based on a series of editing recipes for various types of photographs. Skylum has said that it will provide visual preview of Textures, controls that allow for more accurate Sky positioning, and more than 50 bug fixes to make general speed and operation a little easier. The update is set to arrive next week, with the exact date to be confirmed.Luminar AI is intended to help photographers reduce editing time behind the computer and allow them to focus solely on the results and not necessarily the process. The Lumiar AI Update 4 includes a few other treats as well. While the quality of digital bokeh will not match up to the real thing from a wide-aperture lens – especially at high resolutions – the bar for creating a portrait that looks pretty good to most users is getting lower! When portrait mode first came to hones, the thing users liked best about it was how simple it was to use – meaning that even thoroughly inexpert photographers could create decent-looking portraits with a single tap of a button.Īs software grows more sophisticated and powerful, it makes sense for it to be put to work to make life a little easier on the user. It’s interesting to see desktop photo editors move to emulate smartphones in this way – and it reflects a trend that Luminar AI was already capitalizing on, which is making things easier.

The Portrait BokehAI tool creates creamy bokeh background blur and works on just about. It’s also not new for desktop photo editors, as Adobe added a portrait mode to Photoshop (opens in new tab) back in May. Luminar Neo is a creative image editor driven by AI technologies. This isn’t a new invention, as anyone with a relatively new camera phone (opens in new tab) can tell you it’s pretty much standard fare for a phone in 2021 to come with portrait mode, which produces exactly the effect described.
