This Luminar Neo review is based on the latest version 1.0.6, which was released on May 12, 2022, with Mask AI, Histogram and bug fixes. Installation & SetupĪfter downloading and launching the Luminar Neo installer, you’re given the option to install Neo as a plugin for Photoshop and Lightroom Classic (if you’re already an Adobe user). Strangely enough, you’re no longer able to install third-party plugins in Luminar Neo (such as Topaz Gigapixel, for enlargements) – something you were able to do with Luminar AI.

Hopefully, we’ll see this in a future update. The program takes up 2.84GB of space on my Mac’s hard drive, which seems average when compared to other photo editors.

When the installation is complete and you’ve created a Skylum account, you’re shown a QR code which installs the companion mobile app Luminar Share. Getting images into Neo is simple and fast.
