Now what’s in the 1.10 update
Improvements in Extensions
They have made major changes to the Upscale AI extension to improve its performance. I’ve seen a few samples and can’t wait to try it out.
The extensions can now collapse individual Extensions panels in the Catalog view so you just see the list of titles for each so the view is not so cluttered. You expand just the extension you want to view its options
Interface changes for Noiseless AI, Supersharp AI, and Magic Light AI
Added support for additional cameras
You can now learn more about each tool by clicking its “i button”
You are now able to purchase Luminar Marketplace items directly from within Luminar. No more going from Luminar Neo to the website, and back
Many speed improvements in the various tool and Luminar Neo overall.
And of course many bug fixes for both the Mac and Windows Versions.
I’ll be downloading the update as soon as it is released on June 1st at 11 am EDT.

Other images created with Luminar Neo
Some of these have piqued my interest such as the removal of powerlines. If this is as good as it looks in their teaser image, I have multiple images ready to be edited in this new app. And who can’t use the dust removal option, many apps can assist you with finding the spots, but removal is still a mostly manual process. And it looks like they have expanded on the Sky Replacement AI to include the entire background.
Until I can get my hands on a test copy, will reserve my judgment on how well each of these new features work, but if the past performance of Skylum’s products is any indicator of how this one will work, I can’t wait.
