Incredibly good templatesĪs an example, we use a photo from our last vacation in Italy (see above). The difference, however, is what you can do with those presets and edits because we wouldn’t get the results better with Photoshop. There is a ‘Catalog’ where you import your photos, ‘Templates’ for super fast edits (presets), the ‘Edit’ view where you can work with lots of scroll bars and an ‘Export’ tab.

Luminar AI is made by Skylum. A few years ago, we already tested an earlier app from this developer, namely Aurora HDR. Even then, we were impressed by what kind of HDR effects we could conjure with it – without too much effort. Luminar AI is Skylum’s latest app and, unlike Aurora HDR, focuses more on general image editing rather than just HDR.Īt first glance, it seems to have more in common with Photos than Photoshop. We need Photoshop and the necessary skills for that. Or not? The Luminar AI app shows that you no longer need to be so smart for even the most complicated operations. Artificial intelligence (AI) will do that for you. We were quite amazed when we saw the results of Luminar AI. But let’s start at the front. When we get started with photo editing, we generally use Apple’s Photos for the small improvements in between, and Pixelmator or Photoshop for the big jobs. Adjust the exposure a bit? There’s a slider for that in Photos. Replace the gray sky with a bright blue sky with a few beautiful clouds?
