Skylum Luminar Neo AI Photo Editor Released

Skylum officially released Luminar Neo AI-driven photo editor. The Luminar engine was built from the ground up – it uses artificial intelligence to analyze photos and perform AI-driven editing:

  • RelightAI builds a precise 3D Depth Map of the 2D image to provide quick, targeted control of scene lighting, allowing artists to:
    • Independently adjusting lighting and color warmth for far and near objects across the scene. 
    • Help easily fix portraits where the foreground subject is underexposed. 
  • RelightAI isolates problem areas for correction, leaving the rest of the image untouched. Combine RelightAI with other scene aware tools and photographers can precisely adjust the lighting of any photo.
  • Remove Dust Spots – Automatically identify and seamlessly remove small artifacts, like dust spots, from every photo with the help of AI.
  • Remove Power Lines – Uses AI to automatically identify and effortlessly remove power lines from landscape photographs to create a pristine image free from clutter.
  • Layers – Combine different images into unique compositions and include new elements from built-in overlays and object libraries.
  • Presets – Instant style changes designed by professional photographers of every stripe. Or, build and save your own unique looks for reuse on future shoots.
  • Performance Gains* – Luminar Neo is significantly faster than LuminarAI for complex photo editing tasks. Driven by the new Luminar engine, artists can now enjoy the following performance gains.

Nikon Releases NX Studio Software That Combines ViewNX-i and Capture NX-D

Nikon has announced the release of NX Studio image. The video editing/viewing software combines the best bits of Nikon’s View NX-i and Capture NX-D software applications in a single piece of software.
