Upscale AI, Supersharp AI, Focus Stacking, Background Removal AI, Noiseless AI, and HDR Merge are the latest extensions, and I like the strategy of not forcing everyone to install lots of features they may not use. These come with the subscription pricing option or you can buy them each separately ($49) or all seven together in a pack ($299). Since my last look, Skylum has delivered a steady flow of what it calls extensions-really just optional features and effect modules you can install or not as you choose.

Unique AI adjustment tools and filters-and the fact you can install it as a plug-in for the more complete Photoshop and Lightroom apps-make it a worthy addition to any photographer's software toolkit. It also gets layer support with a library of textures and overlays.

It has a simple interface that's a pleasure to work in, and it retains the company's previous Luminar application’s sky replacement and extensive set of filters and editing tools. The impetus for Skylum Luminar Neo was the desire for a photo app that would make extensive use of AI to improve and enhance your digital images.
