Neo sounds great! If I replaced the sky, also the foreground and perhaps the main subject, then I wouldn't even need to go out taking photos. 😂
Love it or hate it, it looks like that might be the direction things are heading.
😃😃😃
Thanks @FulaanCreative this video was a game changer for sure 👍
Glad it was helpful : )
I’m getting back into videography and I’m glad I stumbled upon your page!
Awesome. Thanks!
As a beginner learning how to use manual mode on my camera I am excited about luminar because it gives me the opportunity to fix up my photos without having to know editing just yet it helps me to enjoy my photos a lot more. I am still interested in learning how to edit and I play around a lot in an affinity I like having an easy option. It eliminates a lot of frustration and disappointment that would otherwise be discouraging.
Great stuff! Thank you for your review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video man! Thank you
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Came across you video, what a flow of talking. Insightful content
Thanks!

Love your channel bro ! What camera did you use in this video ? Did you shoot in log ? Or just the picture profile ?
I just wanted to let you know I came across your channel actually looking to get more information about the software and after watching your video I decided to go ahead and purchase it. I'm old school and I've been using a stand-alone version of Lightroom that no longer supports the raw files I'm using and was looking for a good alternative. I loved your video and found it extremely informative which helped me to decide to make the change. I am now a subscriber and I want to thank you so much for taking the time out to make a video that definitely helped me.
Thanks for the kind comment Thomas. I appreciate it. : )
Great Review - i am using this software and since i have moved on to Silicone M3 Pro processor on Mac - this software is now shining, very fast - and in terms of user experience there is no competition to Luminar Neo. Best future...no contract ;)
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Hey man. Love your content! Do you also have videos about the EOS RP? Mostly for video.
Have a great one! 🔥
Thanks man! Most of the stuff I make applies to any camera really but I don't have anything specific to the RP as of yet.
Question, do you get forever updates on the latest when purchasing the lifetime Luminar Pro?
Thanks very helpful
Glad to hear that!
I just purchased the perpetual with your link. Looking forward to using this. Years back, I used Apple Aperture. I dont remember the last version number before they killed off to concentrate on the Photos app, but it as a couple of versions before that. It was fantastic. I migrated to Lightroom and never cared for it. I hope I like Luminar Neo like I did the old Aperture
Thanks! I Appreciate that. I've been on mac for about a little over a decade, I don't remember Aperture but it kind of rings a bell.
@@FulaanCreative it launched in '05. I started using it around 2008, then it got a major rework that dumbed it down, maybe in 2010, FInal release was in 2014.
@@phxpaul That was right around the time I switched from windows to mac and never looked back : )
Great video, thanks! Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I love it!
PS: Fulan is a Tunisian name meaning somebody, do you have any Tunisian or Northafrican origins?
Thanks! Actually that's the idea of the channel. Fulaan meaning anybody can do it. It's not my name just thought it fit the channel well. It's used in Arabic as Fulaan and in spanish as Fulani.
@@FulaanCreative didn't know about the spanish! I thought it was north african word but could be spanish actually I have to check that out. Anyhow great work and thanks for your efforts keep up the good stuff!
Luminar Neo has Erase Powerlines under Erase. It is not perfect but you can select a straight line using Erase (shift key and click on the other end of the line you want to erase).
Yes very useful feature
You're awesome my friend
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Thanks for the rundown 🥕
I’m a Lightroom guy and having some sort of feelings 😂😂🤯
I love both actually.
Amazing
Thanks!
I have learnt something new
Nice. I'm glad it was helpful.
Are discount codes available for the plugins?
Unfortunately not but there are discount packages though.
I love you, Luminar, but just for a plug-in for Lightroom
Best of both worlds
I'm with you on Neo as a pluggin, but it does not replace Lightroom for cataloging unless maybe through Bridge. In addition, I think the quality of edits are better through Lightroom in many cases, esp those involving color.
Yes Lightroom has it's strengths for sure. I think it mostly depends what you do most I guess.
I've never let any software create and manage my catalogs. Once the software goes ass-up, your catalogs go ass up. I point the apps to specific job folders I create and back-up. I can open each job with any piece of software, and the organized job folder stays where it is.
@craigjohnchronicles2504 Not sure I agree. If you use cataloging the way it is intended and take advantage of its capability, you can't do that otherwise. How do you find all your "sunrise" photos? Also, if Lightroom went away tomorrow, and I lost my catalog, I have an XMP file for each image. I just import my images into another application. I would probably look at Adobe Bridge which is another powerful way to manage images. But I would never suggest not using some form of cataloging images.
@@jamesgerboc - If your job is shooting sunset photos, then wouldn't you make a sunset folder?
If I'm looking for a sunset photo from a particular wedding or portrait session, then I'm going right to that client's folder and pulling the photo I need.
Easy either way.
@@craigjohnchronicles2504 My point is, it would be nearly impossible with a catalog, to instantly search all your images for a list of photos with sunsets in them. Weddings and portrait photographers are more likely than others to look at their database through a client lens than others. Keep in mind not all photographers do that. But what if someone wanted to publish your photos taken in the evening, or in March, with a specific lens or camera, or the ones you feel are your best work? I feel like your comment is based on a very narrow view of photography?
Luminar Neo is awesome, just... something bad: its super heavy for your cpu. I run Luminar Neo and its pretty slow in my macbook pro with M2 max and 64gb RAM.
Yes that is one of the downsides to processing everything locally
Good 😌
Thanks
Can't batch rename, size down, and batch export takes hours where lightroom takes 15 min on something like a wedding with full size files. It all starts withe the culling. I don't beleive you can batch watermark either. Contacted Neo, they said they would share with with the dev team. It's so basic. Sure there are some pretty features with Neo. Really wanted it to work this week since adobe, being adobe. Neo needs to fix/add in what working pros use as basic daily culling necessity. Crawl, walk, run then fly. Need the basics if your volume. Great for non pros.
I never used those features so I wouldn't know. Thanks for sharing.
Can you shoot a music video with the R10?
I have one, yes
Can I install luts that i already created in luminar? .cube files?
I have never used .cube files for stills so I don't know. What I normally do is change the .cube files to .xmp using photoshop. Then they can be used in Lightroom, Photoshop & Luminar Neo.
@@FulaanCreative i do video editing so that's why I use .cube files, they work in photoshop as well. So I can apply the same luts on my videos and my stills. That's why i was asking specificaly about .cube file. But, any luts file would work if it's possible to import your own
Interesting. I am not sure if Luminar will take .cube files but I'll have to find out. Worst case scenario you'd convert the cube files to xmp in photoshop then use those in Luminar neo
@@FulaanCreative I actually tried and it worked. Seems like it can take pretty much any type of luts.
@@ginoXcaron Nice! Thanks for sharing.
My trial version of Liminar Neo worked well however since I paid, I have never been able to export a single photo.
That's strange. Contact their support they should be able to figure it out.
@@FulaanCreative Thanks so much for the response. The worst support team I have ever contacted. They advised me to uninstall and reinstall. I did a couple of times but to no avail. It kept crashing. Meanwhile I use a gaming laptop which is powerful enough to handle Luminar Neo. Instead of helping me solve the problem, they ignore but go ahead sending me advertisements daily.
My biggest problem with the modern offerings are the lack of taking a good shot to begin with. Most of what these do is geared toward the Phone Bubble brains.
I just want to SEE life how it Looks.
This being sponsored, makes it a waste of time.
The biggest con for Luminar Neo is the massive amount of RAM it pulls. I find it to work best as a plug-in to Lightroom.
I've seen both eating ram like it was candy.
can you clone from one photo to another photo?
Note sure
Correction on Lightroom, you don't have to send it to the cloud, I don't need the cloud, so I bought the Photoshop, Lightroom combo pack with minimum cloud storage. I've paused the cloud back up.
But then you get a message in a blue bar in the image window that says it could not update to the lastest version saved in the cloud.
Things are saved on my pc, there is no need to use the cloud feature if you don't want to, actually need it.
Yes you are right however many of the new AI features in photoshop are processed only in the cloud.
@@FulaanCreative ok, Lightroom too? I've not tested it without Internet, might do it later.
@@FulaanCreative I forgot that. Generative Fill atleast. In photoshop is.
@@FulaanCreative Update: I've tested AI Noise reduction in Lightroom with Ethernet cable unplugged. It worked.
Only times it doe snot work is when you accidentally click on a jpg, then it sometimes twinkle the raw file you clicked on next is a jpg, but that's a bug that is solved by restarting Lightroom.
Neo lists PS and LR as able to use as plugin. True, but with on BIG omission. The Gen* AI tool are NOT available as a plugin. These are the main reason I purchased Neo. This information is not readily made available. I found it in one web page after over an hour of googling. Left a very bad taste in my mouth and wondering if Neo is very legitimate.
The Generative AI Features are brand new so I hope that's why they are not available as a plugin. Hopefully they will be in the future. As a side note if you have photoshop you can download Photoshop beta through creative cloud and use the Generative AI features there.
We actually own Luminar forever xd !!
Truedat
It's good as a plugin. It does most of the editing better, but DAM is way better in Adobe. Be smart Adobe as main and use Neo to do ths AI stuffI
That's a good strategy in my opinion
I honestly love Luminars software. I've been following their development for many years now, and while they changed the name a bunch of times, the product hasn't changed as much lol. It's definitely fun to use and enables beginners to do some crazy tricks. You also completely missed talking about layers, a feature I also overlooked at the start.
But my largest gripe with it, and the reason I always come back to Lightroom Classic no matter how much I hate it, is the ridiculously underpowered export module. LRCs export module is insanely powerful with presets, naming templates, batch processing and even plugin support. Neo can't even rename my files on export. It's ridiculously bad, and it has not received a singular update since the very first versions of Luminar. In LRC I can run multiple export jobs at once, for internal use with camera Metadata, low resolution exports for social media with Metadata removed, and special exports with metadata overlays and watermarks all in a few clicks. It is unrivaled and saves me so many headaches I would otherwise have renaming, organizing and watermarking my deliverables.
Interesting. I'm sure there was much more to mention as it was a very brief video. I hope Skylum reads your comment and they update whatever needs updating in the export module. When I edit photos it's usually a one off thing and I'm hardly ever editing large batches together so I didn't run into any issues exporting the files.
I hate Neo for all the crashes I have experienced. If u have an older PC expect to spew tons of F bombs
I'm a mac guy so wouldn't know but I would imagine it would be very frustrating.
@@FulaanCreative Thank u. I am not a Mac guy so that may be the issue. Loved ur street camera review. I hated dragging my old Nikon on our last vacation. I need something less bulky and more user friendly. While I love taking street shots and intimate family interactions, I do also love hiking and landscape photos. What would be ur recommendation for an old retired guy like me trying to stay under $2k?
Love ur channel. U give outstanding information
Ah, come on Fulaan. Your review misses all of the "cons" of Neo. One of the most important tools in any editing workflow is masking and Neo fails miserably. Perhaps you have never used Lightroom's merge feature and you forgot to mention that Neo's merge feature is an add on that costs extra. You should compare Photoshop's sky replacement to Neo's. Where did you get the crazy idea that Lrc only works in the cloud and not on a desktop? Neo has created some tools that simplify the things you can do in other editing apps but please tell the whole story.
This video was 5 reasons why you should use Luminar over Lightroom. The things you are mentioning would be for another video titled 5 reasons to use lightroom over Luminar Neo which I may do in the future. My lightroom and photoshop subscription only runs through creative cloud, maybe older versions can be used locally but the one I pay for is cloud based. There are many things that lightroom and photoshop do better but Luminar makes some of them possible without having to use 2 separate programs. Regarding lightrooms merge feature; you are right I didn't know they had an HDR merge feature. I have always used photoshop for that. Never the less the point of the video was not to say Luminar Neo is better but instead to point out 5 reasons I'd use it over lightroom and photoshop.
@FulaanCreative well I'm sure your intentions were good, and I do not want to seem nasty, but people watch these videos and believe what they hear. Even before you answered my first comment, you should have checked with Adobe and found that the current plan of Lrc and Ps runs as a stand-alone and does not require the cloud. Not knowing that Lrc has HDR merge shows that you have much to learn before making comparisons. There are several influencers out there that really know Lrc, and they could help you out. Best of luck. I will watch for your next video to see how you make out.
@@dktraveller8364 I appreciate the constructive criticism. I'll check out everything you mentioned and if it's true I'll add an update as a pinned comment as well as addressing it in future lightroom/luminar videos . Take care.
@@dktraveller8364 Alright I looked into it. So here is what I found. Regarding the cloud vs desktop issue; Lightroom is available on it's own without LRc and lightroom is only available via cloud. Lrc is available on desktop but does not come with the cheapest monthly lightroom plan. Photoshop on the other hand is only available through creative cloud and not on desktop. Regarding the HDR merge feature; although I didn't know LRc had the feature I did not mention that it didn't have it although I could see how it could be interpreted that way. Just to clarify in the beginning of the video I said that the intent of the video is to highlight "5 features that may make you want to use luminar neo over photoshop and lightroom or at the very least add it as a plugin to lightroom and photoshop". I hope that clarifies.
@FulaanCreative Fulaan, you have to dig a bit deeper. The Adobe plan is called "photography," and it includes Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Photoshop on desktop and iPad, and 20GB of cloud storage. It is 12.99 Canadian or I believe 9.99USD per Mos. When looking at the various plans on Adobe, click on "photo" in the left panel and you will see it.
Are you reading?
Most my videos are scripted
Welcome to the era of fake photography. Why did I even bother try to take great photos all this years?
Not sure that's accurate. Painters probably said the same thing when cameras were invented but people still like paintings....
١st watch and like and comment
Thanks!
WOW ! 17 years of Photoshop and this is the first time i know that photoshop runs in the Clowd, What a nonesens, how much they tipped you ?
Kids stick with Adobe products when it comes to pictures and design, don't do hippi crapy crowdfunded stuff
Many of the AI features in photoshop are dependent on the cloud. I was speaking in context of those features that don't work without an internet connection.
I bought this because of this recommendation. It's garbage. More bugs than the peak on COVID
Sorry to hear that. Not sure what computer you are running it on but it works pretty seamless on my mac. Never had any issues with it.
I don't understand your admiration. It has nothing to do with photography. Instead of taking good photos - playing with computer graphics. This is software for photographic lazy people.
I'm with you however people also use photography for commercial purposes like Product photos etc. In those cases the client only cares about the final product not how you got there.
Sorry bud. That’s not photography. Channing colors, sky…. No thanks
I'm with you but it's photo editing not photography...
