EASY AI Photo Editing For EVERYONE!

EASY AI Photo Editing For EVERYONE!

Gone are the days where you need to dedicate years of your life to learn and perfect photo editing software. The barrier to entry has just been lowered, thanks to AI making things a lot easier. Enter Luminar Neo, an AI-powered photo editing software that simplifies the entire process.

Luminar Neo reached out to me and asked if I wanted to try it and share my thoughts. I gave it a shot, and to my surprise, I did like it. This article is not aimed at professionals or those already making a living from photography. It’s aimed at hobbyists who enjoy photography for fun. The goal is to show you how ridiculously easy and intuitive this software is to use for anyone of any skill level.

I have three photos I'm going to edit, conveniently in a folder that I've prepared earlier. Importing these photos into Luminar Neo is as simple as dragging and dropping them in.

Editing Example 1: Dull Weather Fix

The first photo is a typical scenario: You’ve been looking forward to a trip for months, but the weather is crappy when you finally get there. The photos turn out dull and boring—definitely not Instagram-worthy. Here’s how Luminar Neo fixes that:

1. Enhance AI:

   • Sky Enhancer: Set it to 50.
   • Accent AI: Set it to 70.
   • The image already looks less flat and boring with just two slider adjustments.

2. Remove Dust Spots:

   • A common issue with Sony cameras.
   • Click "Erase -> Remove Dust Spot" and let the AI do the magic.

3. Relight AI:

   • Adjust the foreground and background brightness to separate them better.
   • Brightness near: 40.
   • Brightness far: 20.

With just these three adjustments, the image looks significantly better.

4. Mood Tool:
   • Apply a LUT for added color enhancement.
   • I chose "Tuscany", which gives the image a blue-ish sky and yellow highlights.

With minimal adjustments, the photo is now social media-ready.

Editing Example 2: Adding Drama to a Clear Sky

The next image has a boring blue sky. Here's how to fix it:

1. Sky AI:

   • Choose a sky replacement from the "Sky AI" library.
   • Adjust the brightness and warmth of the new sky to match the photo.

2. Portrait Bokeh AI:

   • Make the background and foreground blurrier to add depth.
   • Set the Bokeh to 80.

3. Lens Flare:

   • Add lens flare for some character.
   • Adjust the opacity.

The photo now looks much more dynamic and interesting.

Editing Example 3: Power Lines Removal

In this photo, power lines ruin an otherwise perfect shot of a rainbow over a field.

1. Remove Power Lines:

   • Simply click on "Erase -> Remove Power Lines".

2. Enhance AI:

   • Sky Enhancer: 75.
   • Accent AI: 40.

The power lines are gone, and the photo looks crisp and vibrant.
