My Adobe subscription runs out in February next year and I won’t be renewing it thanks to the wonderful combination of Affinity photo and Luminar Neo. Your videos inspire the confidence to take that leap of faith. So, thank you 😊🙏🏾🔥

For me, it still has some way to go to replace LR for a full wedding shoot, culling 5000-8000 images, then editing 1000-1500 images quickly, moving photo to photo in the edit/develop mode doesn't exist yet. It's certainly getting there though.

Same here brother. I have tried for years to master PS and LR. Coupled with the fact that Adobe is not the easiest company to deal with I just let my subscriptions lapse. I’ve had Luminar ever since they were Skylum and Macphun. I I think it is by far more user friendly

[BlueJayBonsai]

I'm all in on Luminar Neo - thanks to your videos! 🙏

[andrehundley]

I was totally unaware of the perspective correction tool and had been using different software to correct images. Thank you Anthony for pointing it out, and please keep your very informative videos coming.

[davidmcc]

I use Neo exclusively, and always learning with your tutorials, mate.

[whooptydj]

I love your style for teaching. For me it's helpful to see the effect overdone then dial back. Thanks Anthony

[skipenguins]

I did the same over a year ago now, I find it easier to use and better supported.

[rufffinoo]

Loving Luminar Neo. Your vids are super clear and have helped me to learn how to use much quicker.

[Dwights_Images]

Great video Anthony. Thank you! I am currently learning Photoshop. I have been a supporter of the Luminar products over the years as well. It is really nice to see how you are passionate about this option. I am with you on this 100%. Nice work.

[ArminHirmer]

interesting edit. I now recently started even editing my IR photos with Neo instead of Darktable. Works fine and fast

[callesandlund]

Many thanks for all your friendly and educational videos about Neo 😊

[librarycollection]

Anthony, you and your channel are a gift to the world!

G'day Anthony
I ditched Photoshop years ago.
NO MORE PAYING FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS!.
Now I'm using Luminar Neo and Affinity Photo instead.
Loved your approach to this snapshot.

Question: Are the AI features running locally on the machine or are they applied in the cloud, i.e. do all features work without an internet connection?

[Charlietuna]

I mostly use LR for the catalog aspect including geocoding. I don't think Neo is up to the task of cataloging.

[brettyg]

The only main thing I need from Neo right now is…. LENS CORRECTION!!… yes there’s the Optics tab… but it would be a lot easier to just have a drop down box with various cameras (in particular GoPro lens!.. or DJI Action.. etc) enabling automatic lens correction, instead of manually having to correct the lens. PLEASE Luminar, include automatic lens correction tab!

[jimroberts]

Thanks Anthony,
I rarely write comments but I REALLY appreciate your Luminar Neo classes. I started with Luminar 4, AI, and Neo. I use Neo as my first choice. YOU MAKE IT VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND. Thanks so much.

I love Neo. Going on about 2 years now, it's just a game changer. I found some tips from your presentation that I hadn't used yet, thanks.

[Centauri]

Great tips as always Anthony! I like how you use layers and blend modes for the finishing touches. I'm like you, except I actually cancelled my Adobe Subscription. Now I'm back on another subscription with Neo. But it's worth it--Neo really does bring back the fun in editing. The masking is so intuitive; I wrestled with PS's masking for years and never got fluent with it. I'm glad to see the improvements to the Catalog in the October release, even though it still doesn't quite match LR yet.
