Key Luminar AI tools and features at a glance

Discover the AI-powered tools and more to effortlessly edit like a pro

Atmosphere AI

Add fog, layered fog, mist or haze to your images in an instant, with three easy-to-use sliders that apply the effects to your specifications.

Augmented Sky AI

Make boring skies a thing of the past with the ability to seamlessly add elements of interest, including fireworks, clouds, birds, the aurora and more.

Body AI

With Body AI you can quickly reduce or enlarge the shape of a model’s torso using the Shape slider, while the Abdomen slider reduces the size of the abdomen.

Clone

Remove unwanted elements from images using the Clone Tool. The tool clones directly from other areas rather than healing, but the opacity control allows for fine-tuned blending.

Color Harmony

Color Harmony is home to five controls that allow fine control over the colours present in images, and can be used for both creative and corrective effect.

Composition AI

Composition AI is essentially a crop, rotate and levelling control with a choice of manual cropping and AI-powered cropping, where Luminar AI assesses the image and crops it for you.

Dodge & Burn

Lighten and darken specific parts of images for the ultimate in control and darkroom-style processing. Dodge & Burn is a powerful tool that everyone can master.

Dramatic

Create a high-contrast desaturated style like the cinematic bleach bypass effect, but with fine control over the overall result.

Enhance AI

Enhance AI is made up of two tools: Accent AI combines 12 controls into one slider for incredibly simple editing, while Sky Enhancer AI improves sky detail.

Essentials

The Essentials controls cover all the basic processing controls you can use to improve the look of images; all are easy to apply.

Face AI

Face AI recognises and selects features in the face, providing the ability to make changes to the shape of facial features as well as to relight faces, change eye colour and more.

Film Grain

Apply a retro look by applying film-style grain to images. Grain is random rather than uniform like noise, giving it a much more authentic look and feel.

Glow

This tool provides the ability to apply four different types of blur effects to images, including the popular Orton Effect for landscape photography.

High Key

Add a high-key style lighting effect to your fashion, beauty and portrait images. The simple sliders on offer produce stunning results with ease.

History

See your editing history and go back to a previous editing state using the History tab. The history is saved from previous editing sessions for the active image, not just the current session.

Landscape

With the Landscape Tool, you can remove haze from scenic images, add golden hour warmth and enhance only the foliage in images using intelligent controls.

Local Masking

Local Masking allows you to apply layered localised adjustments, as well as the ability to apply and blend your own texture images with your photos.

Matte

Create the popular matte effect to your shots for a vintage look where shadows are lifted with a hazy effect that works well with multiple subjects.

Mood

Enjoy cinema-inspired colour-grading effects by applying LUTs (lookup tables) to your images. Choose from dozens of stunning colour effects.

Mystical

This tool applies a diffuse glow while increasing saturation and contrast for a dreamy look. Saturation and warmth can be controlled individually for a more refined finish.

Optics

Remove lens distortion and chromatic aberration with a mouse click, or use manual control for correcting stubborn distortions.

Skin AI

Skin AI is a powerful tool that takes all the hard work out of skin retouching with the ability to soften skin, remove skin defects and eliminate shine from skin.

Sky AI

Replace skies in landscape and outdoor photos with perfect blending into the scene. With Luminar AI, a technique that can take hours to create manually can be achieved in seconds.

Structure AI

Use this content-aware tool to work with clarity and detail in images. Increase or decrease clarity without overprocessing people in your photos.

Sunrays

Add a burst of realistic sunlight to your photos in a matter of seconds. With control over how sunrays look, you can achieve the perfect look for any image.

Supercontrast

Supercontrast provides the ability to precisely control contrast in the shadows, highlights and midtones of your image using six sliders.

Toning

Toning allows you to split-tone your colour and black-and-white images by applying one colour to the shadows and another to the highlights.
