HDR in Luminar

Skylum adds HDR to Luminar Neo

I’m a little late to the show on this announcement, but we finally know Skylum’s plans for Aurora HDR. They are just adding HDR to Luminar Neo instead of updating Aurora HDR.

For the HDR they are adding it to Luminar Neo as their first extension option for Luminar Neo. It is not part of the main program, but an add-on that you purchase separately. This is in line with their plans to make Luminar Neo modular. This is the first step in that process.

The new extension will let you merge up to 10 exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR photo. Once your image has been merged you can then do your adjustments with the Luminar Neo tools. It gives you the same merging features you have come to expect from Aurora HDR in that it does Auto-alignment and removal of ghost objects in the image.

As before in Aurora HDR, you don’t have to use brackets, it also works on a single image.

Get the HDR Extension for Luminar Here

Some good news for Luminar Neo itself though, they are adding a new feature of Dodge & Burn has been added.

Some other updates are

● Add Tools to Favorites with visible animation on macOS
● Rotate & Flip any photo from the Catalog
● New interface for the EXIF panel
● New interface for the catalog header
● Export 8-bit and 16-bit PNG images
● Improved Spanish localization
and of course, they fixed another list of bugs.

Pricing

HDR Merge will be free for subscription users and owners of Aurora HDR 2019. It will cost $49.99 for lifetime license owners of Luminar Neo. 

So in short, If you have Luminar Neo and Aurora HDR 2019, this extension is free, if you only have Aurora HDR 2019, then you will need to purchase Luminar Neo in order to use the extension.

If you have earlier versions of Aurora HDR, this will offer you a discount on the HDR Extension price. Make sure you are logged into your Skylum account to see the possible discounts.

For a limited time, you can also get the HDR Mega Pack for free

Capture One new discount

Starting July 1st, I’m now able to offer my readers a new Capture One discount of 10% of Capture One products.

Meet Luminar AI Banner

Luminar AI Announced

Skylum announces the new LuminarAI photo editor

Luminar AI

Today Skylum is announcing LuminarAI. It is an all-new program and plugin that is part of the Skylum family of Photo Editors. This is not an upgrade to Luminar 4, but an entirely new program built from the ground up.

LuminarAI is focused on an entirely new, non-conventional approach to photo editing. Using the Power of AI, some of which have been in previous Skylum products, to focus on results, not the process. It is designed to remove the boring more complex aspects of photo editing but still give a professional quality image.

Part of the intent is to no longer make it about the complex tasks and processes of photo editing but to simplify complex tasks and processes for you and let you concentrate on your creative side. The AI does the work and your creative side is let loose.

Features

Portraits take on new life.

  • Use BodyAI and FaceAI to gently sculpt and refine a portrait.
  • Create eyes that are rich and expressive with IrisAI.
  • Remove blemishes and imperfections naturally with SkinAI.

Landscape photography has never looked better.

  • Add depth and detail to skies with AtmosphereAI and Sky Enhancer.
  • Transform a photo and add an all-new sky in seconds with SkyAI.
  • Bring warmth with Golden Hour or even enhance the sun with Sunrays.

Professional finishing with less hassle.

  • Looking for more detail and texture? Then StructureAI is the perfect addition.
  • Get the perfect crop with CompositionAI and fix crooked images.
  • With AccentAI, a photo has perfect exposure and color. 

LuminarAI Does the work for you.

LuminarAI recognizes the contents of your photo and suggests what it thinks are the best templates based upon that content to speed up your workflow. You can then easily apply and refine your image from those template starting points, or just leave it as shown form the template. The choice is yours.

Early-bird pricing for the first 30,000 customers

You can pre-order LuminarAI now and not have to worry. Skylum is offering a 30-day money-back guarantee from the time of shipping, not the time of purchase. So you can purchase now, when the product ships if you are unsatisfied, you can get a full refund within the 30 days. But I”m sure you will be happy with your purchase.

Early bird pricing will be available for the first 30,000 artists worldwide to preorder LuminarAI. Once these copies are sold, the price will go up. 

 LuminarAI is just US$69 with the loyalty discount (for those who have purchased Luminar 4, Aurora HDR 2019, or Aurora HDR) and includes access to the LuminarAI Insiders community.

 LuminarAI is just US$79 for new customers and includes access to the LuminarAI Insiders community.

Available for Mac and Windows.

Basic System requirements are:

  • Mac OS 10.13 or later
  • Windows 10.
  • This application is 64-bit only.

Note: The Skylum discount code does not apply to the pre-Order special pricing of LuminarAI, but it does still apply to Lunimar 4 and Aurora HDR 2019 (That code being MARKDODD)

And more information to come as we get closer to the ship date. No specific ship date has been set other than during the Holiday Season this year.

Trial version will be available when the product starts shipping.

LuminarAI is not an upgrade replacement for Luminar 4 but is an entirely new program. Luminar 4 will continue to be sold during the Pre-order timeframe of LuminarAI and then Luminar 4 will get support, and updates for at least 1 more year after the shipping of LuminarAI. After that time you can still use Luminar 4, but updates will end. This is so folks who have an older system still have access to a Luminar 4 version for editing.
