Receive editing suggestions for your photos. Get a starting point, see which tools to use, and learn how to enhance your images with confidence—one photo at a time.
Our CTO, Dmytro Mykhalchuk, introduces the new AI Assistant and highlights how it enhances your workflow.
Edits you can try instantly
Get up to three suggested edits for each request. Each suggestion comes with a preview and a short description. Apply a suggestion with one click, tweak it in the Edits tab, or reuse it from previous suggestions.
See which tools work best
Ask AI Assistant for guidance, edits, or suggestions starting with ‘how-to’. For guidance-type queries, it recommends specific tools with descriptions and provides buttons to open them, letting you start editing immediately.
Learn & get inspired to create
Discover creative inspiration and see which tools fit your photo best. AI Assistant can suggest enhancements, boost colors, adjust white balance, and apply toning styles. It also guides edits like brightening, contrast, dehazing, or using creative tools such as sky replacement and background replacement—helping you find the right approach for each image.
Al Assistant is available only in Luminar Neo and requires an internet connection. Make sure your device meets Luminar Neo's system requirements.
File format and size
AI Assistant supports RAW and non-RAW files just like Luminar Neo, with no strict size or resolution limits.
AI Assistant doesn’t yet support Generative, Merge, or Enhancement tools from the Catalog. It can suggest how to use Edit tab tools but won’t apply them automatically, focusing on guiding and inspiring your creativity. More features and guidance are coming in future updates.
