7,000+
Kinds of objects LuminarAI recognizes for improved editing and make suggestions when you use AI-powered tools or templates.
3D depth
Reconstruction by determining the placement of objects leads to better results when refining depth of field or adjusting the atmosphere of an image.
New tool
Nondestructive tool that lets you brush in color, detail and sharpness to make intelligent portrait and skin adjustments. This tool is much faster and easier than traditional layers.
Clone & Stamp
Significantly improved Eraser and Clone & Stamp tools offer better results on even complex areas. The effects are non-destructive and don’t need layers to work. This means they can be easily used at any stage of the editing process.
Color Harmony
There are also new and improved tools for color grading. Artistically adjust color in a photo for storytelling purposes. Quickly color grade with new Moods (powered by LUTs) or take professional control with the Color Harmony tool.

Does LuminarAI handle RAW files?
Of course! LuminarAI RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. We regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide perfect support for new cameras. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.
Will LuminarAI work on Macs powered by Apple Silicon processors?
Skylum is a member of the Apple Developer program. We’ve received the prototype hardware, and right now we’re working with it to ensure that LuminarAI will be compatible with these new processors. We have a long history of developing for the Mac platform and will ensure that all our technologies are perfectly adapted for the new hardware.
The native support on the M1 chips may take some time. However, using the software on new Macs will be possible much faster than the native support due to Rosetta 2 that aids the transition. This translation process will provide you with a fully operational software. LuminarAI is expected to launch in compatibility mode with the new Macs by the end of January.
Will I be able to migrate my Luminar 4 looks to LuminarAI?
We understand that you’d love to use your previously created looks in LuminarAI. Therefore, we’ll take care of the migration process — during the first LuminarAI launch, your Luminar 4 looks will be migrated and automatically converted to Templates. You will be able to access them in the Templates tab > My collection (a star icon on the right panel) > Legacy. The Templates in the Legacy section will be organized into one general list, including both purchased and custom Luminar 4 looks.
NOTE: LuminarAI is a brand new product (not an upgrade to Luminar 4) with an entirely new core engine, new workflow and features. Therefore, some of the looks that included deprecated tools (e.g. Photo Filter and Adjustable Gradient from Luminar 4, tools from Luminar 3 and older versions that were remodified in Luminar 4) will not be migrated.
