Problem with Luminar Neo

I had a problem with the Adobe Lightroom plug-in for Luminar Neo. This is a product of Skylum. After reporting the problem to the company's customer service, I received excellent assistance. Several options were suggested to resolve the issue, and this was ultimately successful. Everything was resolved quickly and very well.

I fell in love with the Luminar Neo app…

I fell in love with the Luminar Neo app the first time I used it. So beginner-friendly with such professional results. But for some reason, I am having to upgrade one thing or another in my Windows, which is a bit of an inconvenience for someone who is not very good at tech. Otherwise, it's perfect. The customer support is good. I always get an immediate response and detailed instructions to solve my issues.

Rostyslav was very helpful and very quick to answer my query. I saw a review on YouTube and wondered why my subscription wasn't updating. The simple solution: Anthony Turnham is reviewing a beta release, and the full release is coming 3 days later!

Fast, friendly, and competent support

I would like to give very positive feedback to the Luminar Neo support team. After an update, I had the problem that certain functions in the app could no longer be found. Through several very friendly, helpful, and prompt email responses, the cause of the issue was finally identified and resolved.

I would like to sincerely thank the support team for their fast, professional, and exceptionally friendly assistance. I was very satisfied with the support and truly appreciate the help.

Good bang for a buck

Great price for lifetime license software, pretty simple and newbie friendly.
The changes are applied nearly instantly, editing can soon become complex the further down the edit menu you scroll, but ''the essentials'' are on top and is all you need to do an edit, yet theres plenty of options for people to be creative.
Software can be used as plug-in for your lightroom classic or PS if you use it or just as standalon(which is how I use it).
I am new to the witchcraft of photo editing, but there is one really noticable thing during editing. I take landscape photos and when I use ''select object'' in masking, the auto selection creates a jagged line between objects, lets say sky and mountain, becomes more noticable the more I edit and it can become painful to manually brush the object manually to get best results.

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review!
We’re really glad to hear that you find Luminar Neo beginner-friendly, powerful, and a great value. It’s great to know you’re enjoying both the simplicity of the essential tools and the creative flexibility the software offers, as well as its use as a standalone editor or plugin.
We also truly appreciate you pointing out the masking behavior with “Select Object.” Your feedback about the jagged edges between elements like sky and mountains is very valuable, and we’ll be sure to pass it along to our team for further improvement. In the meantime, combining masking tools or refining edges manually can help achieve smoother results.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and insights. It really helps us continue to improve.
Enjoy your creative journey with Luminar Neo!
