This software is incredible! However as somewhat of a purist, this seems like an easy way to detach yourself from the craft and will bring us more of those extremely artificial images we see on Instagram. At this point it's even comical how many images look identical because of overediting! Yes, you do have more time to shoot and less for editing. But will you strive to get better and authentic pictures with unbelievable lighting (sun rays illuminating everything perfectly... that is pure pleasure to capture) or will you snap a picture and move all of your sliders to the max? In my opinion, editing is a big part of the process, but it is what shows your skills as someone who has a vision. Don't get me wrong, this is truly a very useful and incredible tool! But it requires taste and expertise. Otherwise it comes dangerously close to numbing us down to real experiences and hiding the real gems. Yet again, love the software and the video! ♥
I've read a lot of "AI will kill photography" and I somewhat disagree. I think this will be an amazing tool, when used with taste, knowledge and care and will make the photographers work a lot quicker. Just as Tyler said, more time shooting, less time editing
More time shooting? Computational photography will do that for you, then give it your AI editing. I'm pretty sure that some sites can generate tags and captions for you... Why bother?
You've already mentioned correctly, when used with knowledge and care, better said "if"... This is exact the problem, 95% won't do that, crank up all the sliders, especially those who have no idea from photography or real post processing. In short words, yes it will definitely destroy photography!! And the very sadest thing about it, people who use those tools with no care, than will critique natural (actually real) processed images from other photographers, because their brain only know those far too over saturated colors only.
This is just amazing. I can imagine Lightroom will understand how you manage photos with certain characteristics and it will give you an option to edit them all at once with a click. AI is just fantastic and it will save us tons of time.
This will require me to totally change my 40 years of photography. I always shoot to capture what my eye sees. Lens, camera, angle, light, all of it, trying to re create what my eyes see...even if my eye sees a blown out sky or a face too warm from an evening sunset. In other words, for a lot of us, me too, photography is about capturing what we see with our eyes. That's been the goal of photography since it's beginning. Then came editing software to achieve that goal by correcting slight deviance in the lens, etc...needs contrast, maybe bit more color, etc...still trying to re create what the human eye sees. Now, comes this, Artificial Intelligence. the philosophical imperative, re creating reality in a photo, is now gone. Sure it's cool. fun. goofy. I mean the body shaping? I need that. I can lose 25 pounds with the click of a mouse. don't like my hair color? click. want to delete those hangover red bloodshot eyes? click. Thing is...no more reality, what is now called a "fake". Cloudy day? screw it. Add that artificial Sun stuff, and presto, you've changed the weather. Where does this end? Should be a warning on AI photos..."what you are about to see may not be real". I'm all for using Luminar AI to make my photo look as close to what my eyes see, and the convenience is nice. However, it's going to take me a real epiphany to change and accept this goofy make your own reality photography. All that said, i'll probably get it. what the hell.
I know this is an old comment and in the end you were pretty accepting of AI editing, but I'll say this just in case: what you have to realize is that AI is a tool, just like a paint brush or a conventional photo editing software. The fantastical larger than life stuff that programs like Luminar AI and Topaz Studio are capable is stuff photographers have been doing for ages. It's just easier to do now. The line between photography and art began to blur even back in the early days of photography when people did composites and matte painting with physical photos. Photoshop came out 31 years ago and ever since then the line between photography and art has been getting more and more blurred exponentially. I'd say the tipping point where it became natural to do drastic changes to the colours and lighting as well as removing and adding things to photos was back in the late 2000's. I don't think AI editing has eliminated the process of thinking about lighting, colours, shapes, the position of subjects, the amount of subjects, leading lines etc. when you take photos. It's just made it easier to change or correct those in post, as well as opened up photography to more people.
@@jetlag1488 it either captures reality as your eye pretty much sees it, or you make it "art". I dont use AI because it's fake, i.e. not reality. I'm not saying it's somehow wrong to do it. I do believe you should tell the viewer though you used AI.
I am SUPER curious with all of this, especially the sky replacement and all that: When does a photo stop being "authentic"? At what point does the photographer not matter as much as most everything can be changed/fixed or swapped out? I am just curious on your take on it :) edit: I don't mean to throw any shade at all btw, your before photos are gorgeous without editing
@@stalman Thanks for your reply and I am happy we agree with the point of where people might be overdoing it, haha. But I can really see it becoming a trend when it's this easily accessible, much like whenever over-the-top-HDR-editing became a thing that one year
the sad reality is in the world of instagram you have to make ur images pop in a split second while the viewer is scrolling (same goes for youtube thumbnails), it almost doesnt matter what the reality is because the views, likes and engagement are what brings value. in the world where everyone has access to a high quality camera, where your PHONE can shoot better quality photos than what comes out unedited from a dslr (!!!) how do you stand out? thinking about the times that people get excited about an image, it’s never the one that they too can execute. it’s always “how did you do that, what app did you use” etc etc. 🥴
2 years later, this video is still really great! I've been using Lumar AI to retouch real estate photography and add sky replacements for the cover photos. Amazing how it can sense color distortion or poor white balance and fix things with simple AI tools!
Not a chance man. Programs like this take incredible amounts of resources to operate, don't bother throwing in an ai using said resources as well. Photoshop doesn't even run slightly well on my $500 laptop, so I'm upgrading to a 1.6k device If this does come to mobile devices it will not be the same application at all
Woah! This looks incredible! I've been looking into Lightroom alternatives, and I think this is the way forward for me. Thanks for the informative video 😃
Luminar used by experienced photographers or photo editors (like Photoshop users) will prove to be a great time saver, particularly as it improves over the next few years. It is already joined by ON1 Photo Raw and to a lesser extent by Photoshop with its latest Sensei filters. The danger is that today's generation are used to being indoors with various devices like tablets and smartphones. They will quickly master these tools to generate a large volume of "created" photos with the same background, flock of birds, sunbeams etc. This will eventually kill of a lot of "real" photography and replace it with augmented reality. It has already started on social but a lot of the pictures aren't realistic so easily spotted. That is going to change quickly in the next few years.
I tried it and I think it's fabulous. The templates make very interesting suggestions, but you still have tools that allow you to edit the photo as you wish. I just missed the layers ... but Masks do almost the same function ... I find it Amazing. This is the way to advance innovation
Truly impressive stuff in terms of blending AI with traditional editing techniques. I do echo the concerns of people claiming this can lead to "fake and unprofessional" photos; there will surely be lots of users who crank the sliders and edits beyond reason. However, if used in moderation (as Tyler does), I think it can simplify the workflow of those who are serious photographers (e.g. someone who brackets shots for landscapes) and add a new artistic element throughout the field.
This was nearly an impulse purchase, but a purchase nonetheless. Thank you for the recommendation! My wife has been wanting to get more into photography and just the things I've seen from this video are astounding, so I pre-ordered.
Please tell me, would you be able to only create one of those effects yourself in Photoshop? With that tools, people will more and more forget their skills which they have had one day.
Loved seeing your face when you were showing the myst coming in from behind the hills. It did look quite magical. And the big moon reminded me of the big moon on the beach in the Netherlands while on our way to the surf village!
Ive seen this program advertised a lot all over social media and it's really interesting. And as you post this video, I have an update for photoshop with a new sky replacement tool!
Thank you for showing the inner workings, I already preordered. I am glad I did, it would come in handy in times of need of inspiration. Great work Tyler.
Grateful to your demonstration. I have begun to pick up the ideas of how this AI approach differ from the traditional one. It could be a time saver if the final release does things as so be expected .
I can't wait for this to help me automatically cut out product shots on more complex backgrounds that aren't just white. The way it detects the sky gives me hope that this will come in the future!
I am running into all kinds of problems trying to apply a template to more than 1 image. For some reason it looks like you can't just select multiple images and then hit apply template. You need to apply it to 1 image then 'copy adjustments' of that image and paste them on to the images you want the template to be applied to. The issue is it's copying the colour temp and tint values with this and so totally changing the white balance of all the images. So unless every single one of your photos are taken under identical lighting conditions then I don't see how you can mass apply templates/edits using this program but I am surely missing something aren't I because that is a very basic function. I have tried manually setting the white balance to 'As Shot' before copying or syncing but it just ignores this and copies whatever colour temp and tint values that original photo had and applies them to every single photo in the whole collection. To be clear, all I want to do is apply a template to a load of images. Any ideas? Thanks.
Thanks for the review. Whats about the since years missing automatic brush/mask function or recognition of defined objects like landscape parts or e.g. hills/mountains? Is a edge recognition for masking/brushing in place or is it like all the past years in order to brush/mask by hand?
Luminar AI is looking very impressive! I use Luminar 4 right now as a supplement to Lightroom and actually just did a quick video on it myself over on my channel. I love Sunrays too! Might have to look at upgrading to Luminar AI. Also they have have a loyalty discount for current Luminar 4 users. Nice Video love the photos.
for free additional skies you can go to google, duckduckgo etc browser, go to images/photos and search skies of sunsets, pink skies, etc individually and download those that you want. some may not work cause Luminar adds the entire photo and not just the sky, but the majority will work without issues. this is an alternative of course.
Hello Tyler ...I have just purchased Luminar Ai. Only to find out (Via Community blogs) that there was and is a problem with Luminar 4 and Ai, that of very slow speed. I have it installed on new and empty windows 10 with an intel core i7 processer It is very slow to load and slow to use There is nothing else on the pc at is running. So I am experiencing the same old and known fault when ist used on either PC OR Mac.. Then my question is how have you got it running so quickly ?
@motherpixels has an awesome sky library, she took years to accumulate them and is now making them available for her followers, you should check it out, some EPIC prairie and mountain skies in there
Thanks for the review. Again no automatic brushing/masking of e.g. objects or e.g. landscapes? This is a real surprise, cause other photo editor solutions have in minimum a edge recognition to support brushing/masking.
Hi Shane, this is an early beta version that we are sharing with partners, so you could see the program, how it works, and learn more about the features.
Replacing sky? Adding the sun? Is it really photography anymore? We won't need to photograph anything anymore ... just use photo libraries. Does professional photography actually mean not real anymore?
Yes with luminar you can post images from the Golden gate Bridge without ever have been to San Francisco... Just bullshit sorry. For people with no idea from real post processing
some of the results seemed overdone BUT some of it i liked ! and was impressed, i usually work with photoshop and lightroom,i have some dull photos that i cant seem to do much with using those apps, but maybe luminar ai would help , i`ll give it a try
It looks oversaturated, overcooked most times. The sky replacement in most cases unnatural. It is like a smile with way too white veneers rather than natural teeth. I will take the latter every time. This could be useful in some cases with limitations, but it seems too easy to overdo it.
all of the adjustments can be determined by personal use and of course you can use a camera and take an image of a sky and use your own and maybe even adjust the sky to your liking or maybe multiple likings and save them all based on the direction of light and how you as creator like the sky you will use. Create folders of various skies and direction of light for easy finding that as the creator, you liked when it existed and then use the appropriate one that you created on an image that you again created. Don't tell anyone and who will know? Then if you have a friend that does this type of image creation, send that person both files and see what he creates from the same images. Maybe not the same result at all but would you have known if you had not already done the same task? Think about "what if I like his result better than mine?" Who is right? Is it important?
Woah, I've never heard of this. This looks like an awesome tool! I can already see how this could really enhance photos. Then again I can already see the super overdone photos too. Haha
Hi Artjon, For now we mostly focus on developing the apps for desktop and laptop computers only, however we also plan to release mobile apps in future. Stay tuned!
Tayler, how are some of those options compare (with respect to accuracy and usability) to the new Photoshop 21? Would they raise the "purists" war cries and fight on social media (I'm just poking the hornets' nest)?
@@seaquenc3232 Hello! Please, note that we currently develop the apps, which are compatible with desktop/laptop computers only, however we do plan to develop mobile apps as well. Stay tuned :)
Hi, Please, note that Luminar 4 is going to be supported during 1 year after LuminarAI is released. We are definitely going to ship new updates to fix the issues. Please, stay tuned.
@@ChristiaanRoest79 i dont know where are you coming with this- on windows it has been horrible. MacOS still is usable and chugs along. But windows version freezes up and quits randomly even on latest version. and not to forget the time it takes to rdo anything
Got to admit im splitted about this. Im sure many will not bother to learn how to use a camera properly and think they'll fix in AI. I always test things like this, but don't think its something I'll use for professional client work. But that's me :)
Hi Ali, this is an early beta version that we are sharing with partners, so you could see the program, how it works, and learn more about the technologies.
@@ajparker3413 this is a closed beta testing program for partners, but I'm sure you'll be able to try a solid version of the product a little bit later, there will be a trial version after the official release of Luminar AI.
@@stalman Awesome, I’m wondering if I could make this part of my workflow with Lightroom, but I’m wondering if I would even need Lightroom anymore at all.
Soon you won’t need to travel. Just insert your family into the shot and add the sky, snow or ocean, a few trees and flowers, and all this using auto and AI.
Luminar 4 is crashing while exporting image on Mac OS Big Sur. And its happening from last 3 months. Frequency of update is too slow to compete with other products. Though it's a good product but customer support and overall strategy of SKYLUM is not that great.
Hi Amol, Sorry to hear about your negative impression. Please, note that Luminar 4 is currently not compatible with Big Sure since this new OS is currently available as beta version. Once Big Sur is released officially, we will ship compatible versions as well. Stay tuned and bear with us.
Luminiar AI on a windows pc intel i9 with NVMe takes 70 seconds to load (on each photo from lightroom & initial load in windows). Is this made for people with slow hardware ?. I'm asking for a refund ..

This program is so freaking cool!! I've spent HOURS masking skies in the past, and now with just a few clicks is done. What a time to be alive
Luminar AI is pretty insane! Great job covering all of the exciting features!
Yeah it was cool digging in to the beta, I can’t imagine what this will be like a year from now
Went to the link. "You'll save $0.00". What a discount! Lol.

Great review & coming from Skylum Luminar 4 & AirMagic (for Drone pics), I cannot wait to try it!
Luminar AI does not support green screen and blue screen. Please enable these feature in future update.
for free additional skies you can go to google, duckduckgo etc browser, go to images/photos and search skies of sunsets, pink skies, etc individually and download those that you want. some may not work cause Luminar adds the entire photo and not just the sky, but the majority will work without issues. this is an alternative of course.
Man, that’s some amazing stuff right there!👌

Will this software work with a flat 360 image especially a sky replacement.
Awesome, thanks for all the info. It says "Preorder" on the website. Any idea when it will be generally available?

what is the max file size this can work with? Luminar 4 can't work with panoramic images as the file sizes is too big
Is there a histogram window anywhere?

I’ll definitely have to check this out when I start up my photography business
I ordered it a few months and I cannot wait to get it ... andy guestimate as to when this will be available.
Now you too can have the same exact stupid looking sky in all of your shots as everyone else on Instagram 😂
If you’re smart about it you’ll build your own sky library and only use the ones that actually fit what it looked like on the day

Hi Nick. Right now, we're focused on developing the macOS and Windows versions, however, we'll definitely consider creating a version for iOS as well.
Does this software work great on the new MacBook M1's or is there a lot of lag since it is not "Native"?
does this work offline? like on the road editing, or does it require the cloud to process some things?
Hi there,
Of course, full version does work offline, however trial one will need constant access to the web.
@@LuminarGlobal alright
How did you get it? I thought it was preorder only?
Hi Shane, this is an early beta version that we are sharing with partners, so you could see the program, how it works, and learn more about the features.
I have it. I am an amateur. Took some portraits with my L lens 70-200 lll…People love my photos!
This is insane! Is it an online app or standalone app?
what I wonder if there is feature to denoise when the image was shot at darker conditions
Lower shutter speed will help with that.
@@-grey after it was shot
Shoot better
Is Luminar AI available iOS and Mac OS? It will be awesome to use this on my iPad Pro 2018!
I think you HAVE convinced me.
Humble Bundle has a Luminar 4 bundle on sale right now.
Replacing sky? Adding the sun? Is it really photography anymore? We won't need to photograph anything anymore ... just use photo libraries. Does professional photography actually mean not real anymore?
Yes with luminar you can post images from the Golden gate Bridge without ever have been to San Francisco... Just bullshit sorry. For people with no idea from real post processing
Can anyone point me to a video editing program that’s easy to use similar to luminar but for video ?
Thanks for the video Tyler! Would you consider leaving photoshop or Lightroom entirely? Or is Luminar AI just another tool we can use as creators?
I've been using Luminar 4 for about 4 days now and as far as I can tell, it can't replace photoshop. Best to use it WITH photoshop.
I'm thinking - Luminar AI is a same AI technology like Luminar4 but with lots of templates for sky...
some of the results seemed overdone BUT some of it i liked ! and was impressed, i usually work with photoshop and lightroom,i have some dull photos that i cant seem to do much with using those apps, but maybe luminar ai would help , i`ll give it a try
It looks oversaturated, overcooked most times. The sky replacement in most cases unnatural. It is like a smile with way too white veneers rather than natural teeth. I will take the latter every time. This could be useful in some cases with limitations, but it seems too easy to overdo it.
all of the adjustments can be determined by personal use and of course you can use a camera and take an image of a sky and use your own and maybe even adjust the sky to your liking or maybe multiple likings and save them all based on the direction of light and how you as creator like the sky you will use. Create folders of various skies and direction of light for easy finding that as the creator, you liked when it existed and then use the appropriate one that you created on an image that you again created. Don't tell anyone and who will know?
Then if you have a friend that does this type of image creation, send that person both files and see what he creates from the same images. Maybe not the same result at all but would you have known if you had not already done the same task? Think about "what if I like his result better than mine?" Who is right? Is it important?
Do I have to buy Luminar4+LuminarAi or only LuminarAi? so confused and their website has no contact point
No it’s a completely separate product from 4
Well I know what I want for Christmas! This + the 12 Pro Max will revolutionize mobile photography
Woah, I've never heard of this. This looks like an awesome tool! I can already see how this could really enhance photos. Then again I can already see the super overdone photos too. Haha
It’s best used in moderation
Will there be a mobile app for this?
Hi Artjon,
For now we mostly focus on developing the apps for desktop and laptop computers only, however we also plan to release mobile apps in future. Stay tuned!
Tayler, how are some of those options compare (with respect to accuracy and usability) to the new Photoshop 21? Would they raise the "purists" war cries and fight on social media (I'm just poking the hornets' nest)?
I haven’t done the tests but I’m curious too!
Do you recommend running the program on PC or Mac? :( Amazing video!
Hi Kevin,
Please, note that LuminarAI is compatible with both Mac and PC :)
@@LuminarGlobal will you be releasing an iPhone app in the future?
@@seaquenc3232 Hello! Please, note that we currently develop the apps, which are compatible with desktop/laptop computers only, however we do plan to develop mobile apps as well. Stay tuned :)
@@LuminarGlobal will u have the update for the new mac's or will we do have to use the Intel version on the new mac's?
Nice video! You can get the software for free for eligible Fujifilm camera or lens (by the end of the year), just got mine and excited to use it.
Cool video thanks 😊
Wish they would bring an app to use it on the smartphone.
are they releasing an App version for IOS?
Hi! Please, note that we currently do not release mobile apps, but we definitely plan it in future :)
How much is it
Ok you got me. I need this
Dude , i installed this setup and I had Launch this luminar setup this can Showes LUMINAR AI HAS STOPPED ...
Help me Bro,..
do you need a high end computer
I am kinda pissed that skylum doesn’t fix problems with luminar v4 and goes on to release a new product
Hi,
Please, note that Luminar 4 is going to be supported during 1 year after LuminarAI is released. We are definitely going to ship new updates to fix the issues. Please, stay tuned.
I haven’t had problems on my windows pc yet. Runs great
@@ChristiaanRoest79 i dont know where are you coming with this- on windows it has been horrible. MacOS still is usable and chugs along. But windows version freezes up and quits randomly even on latest version.
and not to forget the time it takes to rdo anything
Got to admit im splitted about this. Im sure many will not bother to learn how to use a camera properly and think they'll fix in AI. I always test things like this, but don't think its something I'll use for professional client work. But that's me :)
that’s what people used to say about photoshop and look at us now :P
Hiw did you get it?
Hi Ali, this is an early beta version that we are sharing with partners, so you could see the program, how it works, and learn more about the technologies.
@@asiako2319 can I try the Beta?
@@ajparker3413 this is a closed beta testing program for partners, but I'm sure you'll be able to try a solid version of the product a little bit later, there will be a trial version after the official release of Luminar AI.
Okay. This is pretty cool
I've never been this early
Same
Does this support RAW files or just JPEG
It supports both, most of the photos in this demo are raw
@@stalman Awesome, I’m wondering if I could make this part of my workflow with Lightroom, but I’m wondering if I would even need Lightroom anymore at all.
I hope today's mobile CPUs can handle this kind of app
Soon you won’t need to travel. Just insert your family into the shot and add the sky, snow or ocean, a few trees and flowers, and all this using auto and AI.
Luminar 4 is crashing while exporting image on Mac OS Big Sur. And its happening from last 3 months.
Frequency of update is too slow to compete with other products.
Though it's a good product but customer support and overall strategy of SKYLUM is not that great.
Hi Amol,
Sorry to hear about your negative impression. Please, note that Luminar 4 is currently not compatible with Big Sure since this new OS is currently available as beta version. Once Big Sur is released officially, we will ship compatible versions as well. Stay tuned and bear with us.
Dude, you're on beta software. I'm using Luminar on Catalina and it works flawlessly.
Luminiar AI on a windows pc intel i9 with NVMe takes 70 seconds to load (on each photo from lightroom & initial load in windows).
Is this made for people with slow hardware ?. I'm asking for a refund
..
The game has changed
Looking forward to the iPhone version for $9.99.
Noted :-)
@@LuminarGlobal
....
App looks lit
Luminar must be paying well - because these photographers/videographers would never honestly use Luminar, let's be real.
But we, the less professional people, would, right? It seems quite fun at least.
