    Luminar Neo tips

    Practical, bite-sized guidance to get more from Luminar Neo.

    Relight AI for depth

    Use Relight AI to darken foregrounds subtly and brighten subjects to simulate depth and separation. Keep adjustments under 30 to avoid halos.

    Masking with Structure AI

    Apply Structure AI selectively with a brush to textures (rock, bark, fabric). Avoid skies and skin to preserve natural detail.

    Develop RAW first

    Set white balance, exposure, and tone curve in Develop before creative tools. Save a Preset when you like the base look.

    Sky AI realism

    Match horizon alignment and relight strength. Reduce flip/rotation temptation; realism beats drama for most blends.

    Noiseless and SuperSharp

    Denoise before sharpening. Use SuperSharp on subject edges only via a mask to avoid crunchy backgrounds.

    Layers for composites

    Add elements on separate layers, label them, and use luminosity masks for believable blends.
