Luminar Key Features:
AI-Powered Tools:
- Enhance AI — A single slider intelligently adjusts up to a dozen essential settings - including shadows, highlights, contrast, tone, saturation, exposure, and detail - to improve the overall image quality instantly.
- Structure AI — Brings out detail and clarity while preserving a natural look. Enhances only the necessary areas of an image without over-sharpening or introducing noise where it's not needed.
- Relight AI — Gives full control over the lighting in a photo, ideal for creatively enhancing mood or correcting backlit scenes. The tool analyzes the image in three dimensions to realistically adjust foreground lighting without affecting the rest of the composition.
- Atmosphere AI — Adds realistic fog, mist or haze, using content-aware and depth-based masking. The effect is applied with precision to enhance mood without covering key subjects, ensuring a natural, realistic look.
- Sky AI — Automatically detects the sky in the image and replaces it seamlessly with a new one, factoring in realistic lighting and reflections, specifically on water and other reflective surfaces.
- Skin AI — Smooths skin and removes blemishes with a single tap, helping portraits look polished while preserving natural texture.
- Body AI — Allows subtle adjustment of the torso shape - either reducing or enhancing the volume - for a more balanced appearance. AI precisely maps key body features, ensuring natural-looking edits without distorting the background.
