Refine details. Use Shine Removal to reduce highlights and Skin Defects Removal to clean up imperfections.

Close-up shots and selfies

The closer the photo, the more visible every detail. Refine skin gently so it looks clean, but still like you.

Harsh lighting conditions

Shine, shadows, and uneven tones can make skin look rough. Smoothing brings everything back into balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Luminar Neo’s picture smoother?

Luminar Neo makes face smoothing simple and natural. Instead of manual retouching, AI helps you even out skin, reduce shine, and remove small imperfections in seconds—while keeping real texture intact. You stay in control of the result, without overediting or complex tools.

How do I use the Face Smoother in Luminar Neo?

Open your photo and go to Skin AI. Adjust the Amount slider to smooth skin, use Shine Removal to reduce highlights, and enable Skin Defects Removal to clean up imperfections—everything updates instantly.

Will smoothing make my image look blurry?

No. The tool smooths skin while preserving natural texture. If you want extra detail, you can always enhance sharpness with SuperSharp AI.

Can I undo the effect if I don’t like it?

 Yes. You can easily create a smoother image, then adjust, reset, or undo any changes at any time in the Edits panel.

Can I apply the same smoothing to multiple photos?

Yes. Once you’re happy with the result, you can copy and paste your adjustments across multiple images to keep everything consistent.
