Overview

A practical, step-by-step manual that teaches you how to get reliably great results with Luminar Neo - from quick fixes to confident, creative builds. Written for photographers and content creators who want real-world solutions (not fluff), this guide walks you through every stage of a modern editing workflow: setup, organization, fast one-click improvements, precise masking, realistic sky replacements, portrait retouching, and clean removals - all with clear, repeatable steps and pro tips you can use immediately. In this guide you will learn how to: - Set up a workspace that fits your gear and pace - hardware tips, interface tweaks, keyboard shortcuts, and color management so your edits look right on every screen. - Import, organize, and protect your photos using catalogs, tags, and safe backup habits so you never lose work. - Use Luminar's current AI toolset to solve everyday problems fast - smart relighting and depth controls, structure and sharpening without noise, sky replacement that matches mood and light, and powerful generative erase tools for flawless cleanups. (Skylum) - Retouch portraits with subtlety: skin smoothing that preserves texture, eye and teeth enhancements, face and body shape adjustments, and group-portrait strategies that save time. - Master layers, blend modes, masks, brushes and luminosity selections so complex looks are built in a controlled, non-destructive way. - Batch and template your most successful edits, create repeatable presets and export queues for web, print, and social formats to finish large jobs quickly. - Integrate this editor into a larger toolkit - round-trip edits with Photoshop and Lightroom, plugin workflows, and consistent color profiles across apps. - Troubleshoot common issues (slow performance, color shifts, crashes), maintain a dependable workflow, and prepare your edits for long-term growth with community resources and pro techniques. Every tutorial is action-focused: short project walkthroughs, before-and-after checkpoints, recommended settings for common cameras and scenes, and practical ""pro tips"" that cut trial-and-error out of your learning curve. Whether you want to fix a single portrait, transform a landscape with a dramatic sky, or build a repeatable editing system for client work, this book gives you the tools and the reasoning behind them so you can edit faster and with more confidence. By the end of the guide you'll understand not only which controls to use, but why they work together - enabling you to move from hesitant tinkering to consistent, deliberate editing that produces polished, professional images every time.
