Skylum Announces Luminar AI
Skylum has just announced a new application called Luminar AI. This is a separate application from the current version of Luminar, and according to the available information they are aiming it to “reinvent” photo editing by using artificial intelligence.
To be honest, it’s a bit vague at the moment, as they haven’t shown any of the application in operation, and it’s really just an announcement. I also don’t really know how this fits in the lineup, and what this means for the future of Luminar. Anyway, you can find out more on their website. They are accepting pre-orders already, and again, you can find out more (although, not much more) on the company’s website. My discount code (TFP10) should work for pre-orders.
I don’t have much to say about this at this point, because there isn’t much information to go on. Below is the official press release.
Skylum aims to reinvent traditional photo editing, announces LuminarAI
LuminarAI empowers visual communicators to make great photos with unique AI.
Everyone can create amazing images faster while having fun.
NEW YORK, NY - September 3, 2020 — This morning, Skylum unveiled a revolutionary approach to photo editing, LuminarAI. Unlike other photo editors that take a time-consuming approach based on tools, LuminarAI focuses on results. This revolutionary application and plug-in will be released this holiday season.
LuminarAI makes complex editing easier than ever before thanks to unique AI-powered tools. LuminarAI removes boring and complex tasks without sacrificing professional quality. Artificial intelligence lets the visual artist focus on results and not the process. Everyone can make amazing photos free of complexity, yet full of creativity, thanks to artificial intelligence.
“LuminarAI will bring an entirely new, non-conventional approach to the world of photo editing, focusing on the results instead of the process,” said Dima Sytnik, CPO of Skylum. “We’ve designed LuminarAI from the ground up to change how people interact with their images. We’re really excited to see what LuminarAI can do for creatives everywhere.”
LuminarAI is designed for visual communicators, everyday people and professional photographers alike. It's made for those who rely on pictures to communicate their important messages and grow their opportunities or reputation: Bloggers, entrepreneurs, educators, marketers, small and medium-sized businesses, and many others. It lets everyone tell their story with rich and expressive images like never before. With LuminarAI everyone can make amazing images in an efficient way.
Artificial intelligence is the core of LuminarAI
Compared to traditional image editors, LuminarAI offers a completely different approach. Built from the ground up to leverage artificial intelligence, LuminarAI simplifies complex tasks and removes boring manual work.

Templates are at the very core of the new LuminarAI. LuminarAI recognizes the contents of a photo, suggesting the best templates to speed up the editing process. Each template collection helps tell a story. These edits can be applied and refined instantly. While artificial intelligence guides the way, throughout the entire editing process, artists retain complete control over the edits they make, the tools they choose and how they interact with their photos.
Great photography is for everyone, and with the brand-new LuminarAI, digital artists across the globe can tell their story through photography. LuminarAI simplifies photo editing without sacrificing quality and creativity.
“LuminarAI will help make image editing easier for everyone. We’ve removed the boring and difficult parts of photo editing without sacrificing creativity. LuminarAI will be a great tool in a creator’s workflow. They can focus on great results — not on the process of editing,” said Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum.
