I had written a different article introducing you to the new generative AI technologies soon to be integrated into Luminar Neo. But then I thought about having that digested by AI to see if I could rephrase some long or overtechnical sentences. And you know what? The result may be totally different from what I would write on these pages, but I found it quite funny. So I'm keeping the AI version, with some human adjustments here and there.
It seems that the AI features have improved the software a lot since my last post. All very welcome additions.
A quick side note: the images are taken from Skylum's website because these features are not yet available, even on the Luminar beta, so I can't show you my real case scenarios. As soon as I will be able to test these myself, I'll start publishing new content.
So, let's begin… And make sure to check the exclusive offer at the end!
