Reinventing Traditional Photo Editing — Apple World Today

Skylum’s Luminar has quickly become a top competitor to Adobe Photoshop for one very good reason — it does a lot of the work of making photographs look their best through the application of artificial intelligence. Today, Skylum announced Luminar AI, which builds upon the existing Luminar app (which will still continue in development) and adds specific AI assistance for portraits, landscape photos, and professional looks.

From Skylum’s press release:

Artificial intelligence is the core of LuminarAI

Compared to traditional image editors, LuminarAIoffers a completely different approach. Built from the ground up to leverage artificial intelligence, LuminarAIsimplifies complex tasks and removes boring manual work.

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 Houror 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 will help make image editing easier for everyone. We’ve removed the boring and difficultparts of photo editing without sacrificing creativity. LuminarAI will be a great tool in a creator’s workflow. They can focus on great results —not on the process of editing,” said Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum.
