Excellent software and customer service!

I have been upgrading the software from Skylum for many years, as their products keep improving every year.

But the major strength of this company is its customer support. Not only are they quick in answering my questions, but they provide detailed responses.

The experiences of an amateur photographer

I am using Luminar neo practically every day from 2024. When editing images, I most often use RAW image editing, masking, quick image editing functions (Enhance, Structure, Details, Erase...), very often Vignette and all the tools in the Portraits group.
Depending on the nature of the photo, I am also using other tools e.g. Landscape, Atmosphere etc..
I really like the non-destructive implementation of photo editing and the ability to use the same tool multiple times on the same image, with or without using masking.
Masking is very useful. In addition to all the basic masks, I am especially impressed by Luminosity and Object select masking. The newly introduced Feathering and Shift Edge functions are extremely useful (beginning with version 1.27.0).
The use of layers is very useful for special effects and combinations. Mostly very positive experiences.
I miss exporting/importing photos along with interventions from one catalog to another, dividing an existing catalog into multiple catalogs.
Very good experience with support.
To summarize: a very very useful tool.

User experience

I moved to Luminar Neo after Adobe raised its prices I don't regret at all. I can edit my photos easy or make some more serious edits using AI tools if it's needed. I have a problem, technical support also works fine. I like it and can recommend it.

Exceptional customer support…

Exceptional customer support experience! The live chat feature truly stands out—quick, responsive, and incredibly efficient. I reached out with a few concerns, and to my surprise, everything was resolved almost instantly. There was no back-and-forth hassle, no long waiting times—just clear communication and prompt solutions. It’s refreshing to see such a high level of professionalism and customer-centric approach. This kind of support not only solves problems but also builds genuine trust and confidence in the service.

Luminar Neo is marching forward.

Skylum have offered terrific support for an excellent product. They've also shown that they have an extremely strong customer-focus. Luminar Neo is also very easy to use, and the developments and additions that Skylum make to it are always important, useful, and useable. All software is designed to be used - and some will find some software easier to use than others - but I found that LN was astonishingly easy to find thie tools I wanted and use them. In an AI-obsessed world Skylum is applying logic to its application in LN and they must be congratulated for that. And then there's the price... By any measure it's a bargain for beginners and experienced users alike.

Great Software for Photo Editing Beginner, very helpful Customer Support

I had issues with Spaces (uploading of pictures failed) as well as the Mobile App (pictures would not show for upload).

Customer support was very helpful and we finally identified the culprit, a corrupted catalogue. After complete re-installation (with wiping of all data such as the catalogue file), all become fully functional.

Being a beginner in Photo Editing, I appreciate very much the many tools geared for beginners and the availability of a 28h full video Tutorial!!

Still on my wishlist: An ingest function similar to Excire as to take care of my 20 years of unsorted digital photography...

I have been using Luminar products for as long as I can remember....

I have been using Luminar products for some time now, from the very introduction of some of them. Whenever I think I have a problem, I know I can turn to Support for a quick fix. I am no longer a young man, but the staff is very patient in helping me in whatever I need. My latest problem with a new update was cleared up in seconds. I couldn't remember if I had paid for it. Turns out that my membership level included the update without any further charge. I really appreciate all the help.

Trifecta

As a new user, I was confused how to go about taking advantage of some benefits of my X Membership. The response from the help desk was fast and on target. Two sentences and two screen shots cleared it all up with in 20 minutes of sending my message. Fast, effective, efficient. It's not often I hit the trifecta.
