Luminar NEO vs Luminar AI // WORTH THE UPGRADE?

Que chato

Skylum should rebrand to SCAMlum, each and every one of their past releases is a pile of bugs, they would easily win if there were awards for the most crashing application in the market. They release a brand new app every year, which will not import the catalog form previous iteration, so say good bye to your old edits. I have 4 and AI, and I'm never spending a penny with them again. Save yourself the hassle, this is NOT a good product.

I have the AI and NEO now. I love how much faster it is and the tools and masking features are good at the moment and I am looking forward to the future updates.

Superb information, I’ve invested in Neo, already got and love AI. Cost wise , and time saving… it’s Luminar family all the way for me 📷🙌🏻

I've paid for Luminar AI. If I'm truly in the 'ecosystem' then 'eco' my copy of AI with an update to Neo, but don't expect me to pay twice. You've just alienated one ex customer with more sense than money.

seems like there is still no gpu acceleration.

Hi Stewart. I've just discovered your channel and slowly getting back into photography after a couple of years absent from using Lightroom. What would be your personal recommendations for the lowest spec iMAC for when using photo editing software such as NEO? Would an i5 processor with 8GIG RAM be ok or would you stretch to 16GIG? Also would it be better using NEO with Aurora and Topaz as a complete package?

Disappointed by Neo, handling is awful, missing the histogram etc. Gonna stick to Luminar 4, much more comfortable to use.

I own all of Skylum Products sense 2015 and this NEO rollout sucks. It's
great you fight through it for clicks but, this layout of how the tools
work and then the edit is different. The program is clunky. I am
disappointing with the development. It is becoming nothing close to the
promise. I bought in September.

Did Luminar Neo get rid of the clone stamp tool? i cant find it. that's my bread and butter hehe

Luminar 4 Ai vs neo - neo can do power lines —- that’s it

Good job Stewart.

OK, I'm sold .... you are always very good & detailed when you show off products!

Cleared my questions thank you so much

Luminar AI is too slow.... NEO is a lot quicker, but doesn't do batch processing...

As a Capture One user i just got NEO and its slow VS C1 and missing so many things. It has some great features but it is super slow to do a editing job from say a wedding. I can not use it like this. I am on a Mac Mini M1 a very fasy system and i have many different photo and video edit programs and this one NEO is by far the slowest one. Exporting is very very slow taking around 40 to 60 second for each image with only a few thinsg applyed to it. In the video you keep saying how fast it is i guess you never used most every other editing program as they are faster much faster. I edit thousands of images every week from jobs we shoot NEO is just to slow and lacking things that are needed to work well for everyday editing. For editing one image spending a lot of time on it is has great features but for most things i can do all this in C1 much faster.

Well, if I need to shell 79 EUR each year for new version of Luminar, I might as well get Lightroom subscription and get better software, especially regarding the photo library management. Learnt it the hard way.

My Luminar NEO its VERY SLOW and I have a nive setup (Samsung Odyssey 2 Gamer with NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX2060, Intel core i7, 1TB HD+512GB SSD). I took several minutes to copy presets from one img to the other.

Can Luminar NEO or Luminar AI be used to process/enhance JPEG? Thanks,

Hi There! I know it's not related to the video, but... Could you tell me the name of the lights you have on the background, behind you? I've been looking for something like that for a while.
Thanks man! Love your videos!

Such a pleasure listening to you!

Well, based on this video I'll stick with what I have. New s/w for more money is worse that updated s/w for a set price every month from Adobe.

Honestly, I feel they create a new software just to have people buying a new one because they were claiming their software was "free forever". I would prefer them to be honest a say the price is for this year version and then next year you have to upgrade.

I'm a bit lost on which one I should buy if I've neither luminar neo/ai.

Ugh... ANOTHER Skylum software??? Forget Skylum. Skylum is basically synonymous with abandonware at this point.

Thanks so much, for your tutorial.

Why is LUMINAR NEO not on setapp

Great vídeo!!! Please, what tripod do you use?

So as a new guy to these softwares do you recommend AI or neo?

Hi I noticed you did a before and after in this video. Is there a quick way to do this in Luminar AI or did you just side the tab at the top in Luminar?

Hello, thanks for this video! I switched to Luminar Neo after watching this, and it's got a few of cool new features, but I've been having some problems with it.

It takes WAY longer to paste adjustments than Luminar AI did, and because of the way it stacks the adjustments, you can't change one thing and see how it affects the photo overall.

On top of that the undo button doesn't seem to undo any changes you just made, which sucks if you didn't take note of where you had something before you changed it.

It also seems to take WAY longer to open a photo at full res for some reason.

I'm running it on an M1, so I don't know if that's affecting things.
Have you run into these problems yourself?

Just discovered your channel keep crushing it ❤️🙌

I really want to try out luminar ai but is luminar ai going to have support as now neo is the new software. Lightroom keeps get updated even thought most of it is really minor performance does not jump up off the roof at every update. The performance of luminar ai looks pretty good but i'm not sure in the long run i would continue to use it as I do use the cloud option of lightroom quite often and its not an option on luminar unfortunately

Is the logo in the upper left corner seriously going to blink all the time? Have these guys ever even heard of UI design, or is it just their narcissism overshadowing their sense of reason?

Stew, I have AI, if I get NEO do I delete AI of does it just cover over it? Worried about memory...... Thanx and great videos!

Luminair AI imo was better faster than Neo has been

+sub

now i am in a good mood

Still no mouse wheel support?

Can you add text on either?

Is there batch editing?

So if I bought Neo, will I still get any benefit from Luminar 4 and AI, which I own both?

Would love to see recommendations for NON-AI based editing software. AI just seems to me like a privacy issue.

I have AI and there's no need to purchase Neo, so I'll wait for next year when they drop a new software yet again. 😂 The money machine they are.

2023 Neo site - looks like they want the same subscriptiosystem as LR has - the buy-version is stripped - I do not like subscriptions - I want to buy it but use it either on my Mac mini M2 at home or underway on my M1 Air - do I have to buy it 2 times?

Hey thank you for your excellent videos. Do you know about Luminar 4 vs Neo? Thank you!

I really hate monthly subs. The upgrade price is not bad though but they could have added at least 200-300 assets IDK.

Wow. That Ferrari photo looks shite

i don't use AI but great video ma man

I believe there is a compression promblem with luminer most of the photos get pixel after edit
