On1 Portrait AI

Today On1 announced a new app geared towards the Portrait photographer that is both a standalone app or a plug-in for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Corel Paintshop Pro, Apple Photos, with Capture One support coming soon.

This new On1 application is meant to assist those portrait photographers who currently are spending hours retouching single images or entire shoots to present to their clients using the latest in machine learning AI. The AI finds every face in a portrait and applies settings to make your subject look fabulous without you having to lift a finger. While many other Photo editors offer either on-off edits or require manual controls and at times a steep learning curve with no way to batch process and entire shoot, On1 Portrait AI takes care of all of that for you

Luminar AI Announced

Skylum announces the new LuminarAI photo editor

Pre-Order LuminarAI today
Luminar AI

Today Skylum is announcing LuminarAI. It is an all-new program and plugin that is part of the Skylum family of Photo Editors. This is not an upgrade to Luminar 4, but an entirely new program built from the ground up.

LuminarAI is focused on an entirely new, non-conventional approach to photo editing. Using the Power of AI, some of which have been in previous Skylum products, to focus on results, not the process. It is designed to remove the boring more complex aspects of photo editing but still give a professional quality image.

Part of the intent is to no longer make it about the complex tasks and processes of photo editing but to simplify complex tasks and processes for you and let you concentrate on your creative side. The AI does the work and your creative side is let loose.

Features

Portraits take on new life.

  • Use BodyAI and FaceAI to gently sculpt and refine a portrait.
  • Create eyes that are rich and expressive with IrisAI.
  • Remove blemishes and imperfections naturally with SkinAI.

Landscape photography has never looked better.

  • Add depth and detail to skies with AtmosphereAI and Sky Enhancer.
  • Transform a photo and add an all-new sky in seconds with SkyAI.
  • Bring warmth with Golden Hour or even enhance the sun with Sunrays.

Professional finishing with less hassle.

  • Looking for more detail and texture? Then StructureAI is the perfect addition.
  • Get the perfect crop with CompositionAI and fix crooked images.
  • With AccentAI, a photo has perfect exposure and color. 

LuminarAI Does the work for you.

LuminarAI recognizes the contents of your photo and suggests what it thinks are the best templates based upon that content to speed up your workflow. You can then easily apply and refine your image from those template starting points, or just leave it as shown form the template. The choice is yours.

Early-bird pricing for the first 30,000 customers

You can pre-order LuminarAI now and not have to worry. Skylum is offering a 30-day money-back guarantee from the time of shipping, not the time of purchase. So you can purchase now, when the product ships if you are unsatisfied, you can get a full refund within the 30 days. But I”m sure you will be happy with your purchase.

Early bird pricing will be available for the first 30,000 artists worldwide to preorder LuminarAI. Once these copies are sold, the price will go up. 

 LuminarAI is just US$69 with the loyalty discount (for those who have purchased Luminar 4, Aurora HDR 2019, or Aurora HDR) and includes access to the LuminarAI Insiders community.

 LuminarAI is just US$79 for new customers and includes access to the LuminarAI Insiders community.

Pre-order Luminar AI Today

Available for Mac and Windows.

Basic System requirements are:

  • Mac OS 10.13 or later
  • Windows 10.
  • This application is 64-bit only.

Note: The Skylum discount code does not apply to the pre-Order special pricing of LuminarAI, but it does still apply to Lunimar 4 and Aurora HDR 2019 (That code being MARKDODD)

Trial version will be available when the product starts shipping.

LuminarAI is not an upgrade replacement for Luminar 4 but is an entirely new program. Luminar 4 will continue to be sold during the Pre-order timeframe of LuminarAI and then Luminar 4 will get support, and updates for at least 1 more year after the shipping of LuminarAI. After that time you can still use Luminar 4, but updates will end. This is so folks who have an older system still have access to a Luminar 4 version for editing.
