The download size is too high. It does not work correctly for an application with 5.25 gb. They claim to use artificial intelligence, but retouching is torture. It's not worth the download or the money.

Professional Photoshop User Review — Beautiful Shell, Shallow Core

I’ve been working professionally in Photoshop for over a decade, always on the latest builds, always with exacting standards — from skin work to compositing and tonal architecture. I retouch for high-end editorial use, not Instagram presets.

I decided to try Luminar Neo out of honest curiosity — maybe it could offer some elegant automation, or interesting AI support in stylization. I never expected it to replace Photoshop, but I hoped it might provide something additive.

Here’s the truth:

Skylum doesn’t explicitly claim to be Photoshop — and that’s fine. But their marketing strongly implies a level of control, precision, and creative intelligence that simply isn’t there. They promise “next-gen editing” — but what you get is preset stacking, destructive blur, and one-click sludge with minimal real control.

Yes, the interface looks clean. Yes, it might be fun for casual stylized edits. But for professionals — for those who work in layers, masks, balance, nuance — this is a dead end. There is no structure under the surface. Only texture simulation and vague color pushes.

If you’re a serious image maker, skip it. You won’t find tools — just toys.

Developer Response ,

First of all, we appreciate your interest in our software. I'm sorry to hear that Luminar Neo doesn't meet your needs. Our goal is to make photo editing quick, fun, and intuitive. I understand that you had different expectations, and we genuinely strive to deliver the best possible result. Thank you for your feedback. Hopefully, you'll have a chance to enjoy Luminar Neo again someday in the future.
