Can you help? Have you any ideas? I have taken some portraits against a green screen. When I use Luminar Noe to remove the background, it leaves a green haze around the subject. It took a long time to get rid of the green, and the only way to do it is by using the clone tool, which is unsatisfactory. Is there a better way? Help, please. Jim

I dont understand why this isnt going to be an added extension to luminar neo. I thought the whole point of paying a subscription is to keep paying for the development of new features and increasing the value of the product we’re continuing to pay for. Its not a good look for them in my eyes.

I have Luminar Neo version 1.20.0 (17855). What version do you have? I'm trying to follow this tutorial and my version is different from yours. I don't see a section for camera profiles.

Does it not have HSL controls?

I have learnt so much watching your tutorials. My post processing skills in Luminar Neo have gone from 0 to 100 in a matter if weeks. You have a gift for teaching. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Thanks Anthony, great good review and well done for not spilling the coffee :-) As a seasoned portrait photographer who's spent more time editing in Luminar NEO than I care to admit, I've seen my fair share of marketing gimmicks. So, when I saw the pre-release offer of Luminar Aperty for a mere £179, with promises of 1,000 lifetime licenses and an approximate release date in September, I knew it was time to share some wisdom. Skylum’s FOMO strategy is a classic move, but here are five reasons why I won’t be falling for it this time. 1. The Classic Bait and Switch: Remember that time Skylum promised that Luminar NEO would revolutionise our editing workflow? And sure, it did - after several updates, patches, and a fair amount of hair-pulling. Now, with Luminar Aperty, they’re dangling the shiny new software in front of us, promising lifetime licenses to only 1,000 lucky (read: gullible) buyers. Fool me once, Skylum... 2. Promises, Promises: According to Skylum, Luminar Aperty is going to be the next big thing. But if history teaches us anything, it’s that these promises come with a side of delayed features and endless bug fixes. Anyone else remember the anticipated AI tools that took their sweet time arriving? I’d rather stick with my trusty Luminar NEO - at least I know its quirks. 3. Lifetime License? More Like Lifetime of Updates and addon's: Let’s talk about that “lifetime license” for a second. It sounds great, doesn’t it? Until you realise it’s just a way to get you hooked on the software, only to charge you for future updates. Lifetime licenses often mean lifetime of updates... but for a price. No thank you, Skylum. I’ll keep my bank account intact. Did I mention I spoke to my cat about potential future add ons 4. The FOMO Factor: Fear of Missing Out - Skylum’s favourite marketing tactic. They’re banking on the fact that we, as photographers, don’t want to miss the boat on the next big thing. But let’s be honest, how many times have we bought into the hype only to find out that the software is still in beta quality? I’d rather let others be the guinea pigs this time around. 5. Stick to What Works: As a portrait photographer, consistency and reliability are key. I’ve spent years perfecting my workflow with Luminar NEO, and it does the job beautifully. Why switch to a new, untested software that’s bound to have teething problems? My clients deserve the best, and right now, that’s what Luminar NEO provides. So, there you have it. Skylum’s Luminar Aperty might be the talk of the town right now, but this photographer won’t be buying into the hype. I’ll be watching from the sidelines, waiting for the inevitable updates, patches and hopefully better addon modules than those suggested purely in jest. After all, patience is a virtue - especially when it saves you £179. Cheers to all the brave souls who dive in; may your edits be smooth and your bugs be few!

Does it do body or just Face retouching?

Hi Anthony. Very interesting and thank you for the information. I'm not a target customer this time, I just photograph landscapes and avoid people:) But still a comment for the content.

So is this the end for Neo like they did before w lum AI when Neo came out?

I find this video + the one on camera matching profiles the two absolutely fundamental tutorials for working with Luminar Neo. Thanks for posting! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Kneeling is something I always have to think twice about because I'm 72, and getting up from a squat or rising from the knees is not always a sure thing. ;) For the record, I still do it... cautiously. I really hate getting old. Hope you feel even better soon.

As of 29 June 10am (AEST) Australia Time, 626 licences left

Can you create a tutorial video on editing Virtual Twilight for real estate using Luminar?

I'm not sure if it's worth it since a lot of these things can be found in Luminar Neo. You have the Skin AI with Skin defect removal which is similair. This app must be on a whole other level to be considered interessting. The thing I really want from such software is missing it's Ai removal of Stray/static hairs on portraits.

If portrait editing is something you do regularly you might want to check out Skylum's newly announced portrait editing software. It's aimed at professionals though so it's not going to be right for everyone. You can find out more here: bit.ly/ApertyPortrait Please note they've only got a limited number of pre-release licences available. I also did a video about it here: ruclips.net/video/geT97U7ZEtU/видео.html

Sold me on it. Just got my pre-order in. This is going to make my headshot workflow so much faster.

Thank you! Does it work on RAW files?

you were in the Azores? So, may I assume that you shot some amazing landscape photos? Especially as the Azores may offer all four seasons in one day on the same spot and of course the local cuisine is equally wild and offers some most amazing food photography. But I also understand that you probably focused on portrait photography of the gorgeous and so typical Azores girls ???

you sold me, receipt just popped into inbox. Thank you, Anthony.

I won't be pre-ordering this but I will be watching. I use PortaitPro and am fairly happy with it. I'll need to see major gains to switch.

They move to subscription model i wont buy it!!!! im not doing the ADOBE THINHG AGAIN

Looks aight, but having a Neo membership seems enough for me at the moment.

No one ever said photography wasn't dangerous:). When you wear white that is usually the ONLY time you spill something on yourself. As for the new software, it looks like it will be useful for professional portrait photographers as you said. For the rest of us I know we'd love the engineers to focus on continued improvement of Neo's performance and adding some features that we are still waiting for from a couple years ago (i.e. fixing the Vignette Tool after cropping). I love Luminar no matter what.

Skylum seem to be able to do wonderful things with AI and yet Upscale AI is still cat sick, Aperty isn't for me.

You were right Anthony, it’s not for everyone. At least not for me - especially for €179… Skylum is getting greedier year by year and I won’t support them, sorry. Thanks for the info BTW, it’s a great channel 👍

Huh! Looks like super interesting tech! Probabaly not for me, though. I just like taking quality pictures when I'm on vacation - and even then I mostly take shots of my dogs. (Which, presumably, this won't work for ... ) Is there any kind of integration with Neo or is this a whole different thing?

I like you, and I’m sure you love the product but I stopped using their products because of their sales tactics and methodology around having a new product that has the thing the existing product should have changing the names and all the other things they’ve done over the last five years. They make a dope at times look quite reasonable in their tactics. Anybody who’s got any history with this company? Will know what I’m talking about.

I have been lured into buying the last two versions of Luminar. They over promise and under deliver.

Amazing. Thank you for the update.

I just used PixImperfect's video (on the left hand side) to learn about blemish retouching!

Hi Anthony, firstly sorry to hear about your back but glad to hear you're doing ok now :) about the early bird offer, even though it looks pretty impressive with what little is shown here, I did actually pick up the Neo lifetime licence but then they introduced many great and usable features and made them exclusive to their subscription based model and I ended up subscribing as well as having a lifetime licence so that is why I lost a bit of trust in them and won't be falling into that trap again!

Hi Anthony, so sorry about your back pain, but I'm happy you are okay now. 😸 on to Luminar Aperty, sorry but I already have PortraitPro Studio 2024, which I'm very happy with. Thus, I won't be buying Aperty! 😾Regards from Felix the Cat. 🐱

I never understood why removing of “blemishes” is part of the art of portrait photography. For me, as soon as a natural blemish is removed it is not a portrait anymore. It’s fiction! If fiction is your thing, that’s fine. But it’s not portrait photography any more.

won't need this but if I did portraits, I would really consider it. If they would put alot of this tech into their noise reduction so as to preserve facial details, that would be cool

Too expensive!!!

It should be added to existing software that I already pay for

A bit pricey, have you heard of Evoto, software 100% FREE only pay when exporting. Want me to pay $200 for an app I only see one thing the software does.

Your links don’t work…but 677 licenses left on Skylum site…

Skylum sharing very limited info/content and asking for pre-orders is wild.

There's a limited number of licenses available here bit.ly/ApertyPortrait before it moves to a subscription model. I had people reach out disappointed after they missed out on the Neo Earlybird, so if portraits are your thing, at least check this out and see if it looks like it's a good fit for you 😀

Hi Anthony - would it be possible to do a tutorial on how to remove glare for glasses with Luminar Neo. thank you.

@16:17 video starts there 😂

Thank you, its a very well explained and very clear.

Thanks Tony for the video. By the way, is it possible to get panorama version in NEO in case the images include many people? Because it means we need to delete unwanted people.

This is great! Very well explained. This technique has been eluding me for a while :-P

Hey Anthony, thanks for this and your other vids, I'm new to NEO, so it's all very helpful. I HAVE A QUESTION? I can't find the users folder for luminar neo that holds the camera -profiles on my mac, and they don't seem to load automatically from Adobe DNG. I shoot a Nikon Z8, so there are plenty of profiles theer, but I cannot get them onto NEO. In. the video you say you created a shortcut . . . can you tell me how i can do that if I can't find the file in the first place? cheers
