Best photo editting software ever
I love this software, it is SO easy to use and intuitive; takes my pictures to a new level.
The customer service is really great as well, if you need any help at all with it (I've had a couple of download issues with updates, I'm sure it's my terrible internet connection, but they sent me a link within 24 hours of my asking and it worked great)

I had entered a burn-out phase with…
I had entered a burn-out phase with photography. I love landscape photography but with aging and work I am limited on energy and time. However now being able to use any of my hundreds of sky shots I have taken over the last 30 years and instantly plug them into any of my landscape shots....well it is difficult to describe how nice and fulfilling it has been. I can't say enough about the program. Also the adjustments I can make with all the other features is revolutionary. Thank you.

Skylum software is simply next level
Skylum software is simply next level. It allows me to deliver previously unimaginable results in minutes. Sometimes I just do not have the time to faff around with a sophisticated package like PS. In fairness, Skylums AI technology often wipes the floor with these packages in both time and results. Five Stars
Is the portrait background removal feature automatic, or does it require manual adjustments?
The portrait background removal feature utilizes smart AI algorithms to detect and isolate the portrait subject from the background. However, you may need to use manual tools such as an eraser to achieve better results. This applies primarily to intricate backgrounds with a lot of detail.
How to remove background from portrait in Luminar Neo?
Removing the background from a portrait can be done manually or with the help of AI. When removing the background manually, you need to mask the main subject. When using an AI tool such as Luminar Neo’s Portrait Background Removal AI, you can simply select the subject that the AI has detected, removing it with a click.
What types of images and portrait backgrounds does the Luminar Neo effectively remove?
Luminar Neo effectively removes many portrait backgrounds, especially those clearly distinguishing between the subject and background. It works well with both simple and moderately complex backgrounds.
What is the difference between Portrait Background Removal and AI Background Removal?
Portrait Background Removal focuses on detecting and removing the background in portrait photos, where the subject is usually a person. It's designed to identify human figures accurately and separate them from the background. AI Background Removal, on the other hand, is a more general tool. It can remove backgrounds from various images, including non-portrait photos.
What is the benefit of removing the background from a portrait?
Removing the background from a portrait is useful for minimizing distractions. This can significantly enhance the focus on the subject, making it stand out more clearly. Also, it allows for creative flexibility, as you can replace the background to change the mood, context, or aesthetic of the portrait.
Can I replace the removed portrait background with a new image or solid color?
Absolutely! You can choose a background that complements the subject or aligns with the desired theme or aesthetic. Unleash your creativity to the fullest.
