Skylum offers an AI Assistant inside Luminar Neo that analyzes a user's photo in real time and responds to text prompts with tailored editing suggestions, step-by-step guidance, and live previews of proposed adjustments. It was released in December 2025 as part of the Fall 2025 upgrade.
Details
The AI Assistant receives a photo and a user's text prompt as input, processes the request in the cloud (requiring an internet connection), and outputs either a set of three suggested adjustment presets with live previews (for action prompts like 'Enhance this photo') or step-by-step written guidance pointing to relevant Luminar Neo tools (for how-to prompts like 'How do I remove this object?'). It supports RAW and non-RAW files across 18 languages. The assistant does not apply generative, merge, or catalog enhancement tools automatically. It is available to Ecosystem Pass holders, 2025/2026 Upgrade Pass holders, and Cross-Perpetual and Max-Perpetual license holders.
