Luminar 4's many AI-based tools eliminate hours of traditional
editing tasks. Improve overall tone and color using just one
slider, and enhance a sky using another without building masks or
layers. Realistically replace the entire sky in one step, even when
objects like buildings or trees intrude. Luminar identifies faces
in photos, allowing you to smooth skin, sharpen eyes, brighten
faces, and perform other portrait retouching tasks in minutes.
Expert editing: Take advantage of Luminar's many professional tools
to bring out the best versions of your photos. Enhance the look
using tone controls and curves, dodging and burning, and tools
built for specific types of images, such as Landscape Enhancer,
Adjustable Gradient, and B & W Conversion. The Erase and Clone
& Stamp tools make it easy to remove unexpected objects and
glitches such as lens dust spots. Luminar's RAW editing engine
includes real-time noise reduction and advanced color processing
and sharpening tools, all completely non-destructive and with the
ability to step back through the history of edits. Advanced

combine edits and effects. Creativity: Open your imagination with
