Luminar Neo’s Spring Update is Here!

Luminar Neo’s Spring Update is here and I have a First Look video below. It’s all about streamlining workflow, optimizing performance, and enhancing creative possibilities. This is a FREE update for all users.

We continue to get major updates/upgrades about twice per year, with several smaller updates throughout the year. Each of them is about improving performance and functionality for us, giving us new tools, and generally just improving our editing experience. This update is no different and gives us some things that have been requested for quite a while.

My full walkthrough video is below if you want to check that out.

Here are the major updates:

  • Auto Adjust - A new addition to the Develop / Develop RAW tool, Auto Adjust automatically enhances images by intelligently adjusting key sliders to achieve optimal exposure, light and shadow balance, and black & white levels. Available for Pro subscribers and Upgrade Pass owners only.

  • Catalog Cache Cleaning - To improve app efficiency, Luminar Neo now includes a Catalog Cache Cleaning feature within Preferences. They received countless requests from users related to optimizing disk space when working with large catalogs, which is why this tool was developed. It helps users clear cache files, significantly enhancing speed and performance.

  • Depth Models Update - The Atmosphere AI tool receives a quality upgrade, delivering an even more natural and immersive Fog Creation effect for those moody landscape images. The refined model enhances photos with a cinematic atmosphere, providing photographers with an even greater level of control and realism.

  • Improved Export Menu - The new export window offers advanced customization options for format, quality, size, resolution, and file name, as well as a new export format—DNG—helping users prepare files for print faster and more easily.

To update your app: in the topmost menu, click on Luminar Neo and then click Check for Updates.


Here’s my First Look video, showing off these new features. Enjoy!
