I bought Luminar Neo as a complement to Photoshop. I was hesitant at first, but now my workflow is this: I do basic edits in PS, and then go to Luminar for that "wow" effect and atmosphere. It's a convenient combination; it really speeds up my work.

vs Alternatives

I looked at several alternatives: Lightroom, Photoshop, and other AI-powered editors. They're all great, but most are too complicated for a beginner or take too much time on routine edits. Luminar Neo stood out for its simplicity and speed. It lets you quickly process a series of photos without losing quality, and its AI tools are a real time-saver—for example, replacing a sky or enhancing lighting in one click. The interface is intuitive, allowing you to get started right away without a lengthy learning curve. Plus, the one-time license, rather than a subscription, was a nice bonus. Ultimately, Neo proved to be a perfect balance between a powerful editor and a convenient, fast tool for real-world work and creativity.

Does Geometry AI fix perspective without distortion?

Yes, Geometry AI does a good job of correcting perspective. For most shots of buildings or straight lines, everything looks neat. Occasionally, if the scene is very complex, some minor distortions may appear, but overall, the tool gets the job done quickly and without unnecessary fuss.

Is there support for LUTs and color profiles?

Yes, Luminar Neo can work with LUTs and color profiles directly in the program. This is convenient if you want to quickly set a style or achieve consistent color correction across a series of photos. All color tools—curves, shadows, highlights, and balance—are clear and produce quick results.

Can I remove power lines and wires cleanly?

Yes, removing lines and wires is easy. On simple backgrounds, everything disappears almost perfectly. If the background is complex or has a lot of detail, you may need to brush out some adjustments, but even then, it takes much less time than doing the same thing in Photoshop.
