Luminar Neo tutorial: editing, presets and export

This Luminar Coffee Break tutorial introduces Luminar Neo through a photo editing workflow. The presenter creates a catalog, adds a folder of images and explains that removing a folder from the catalog does not delete its photos. A virtual copy references the original file rather than duplicating it.

The editing demonstration starts with Enhance AI. The presenter applies it twice, then uses the Edits history to revisit each instance. An object mask limits the second adjustment to a wooden section of the image. Develop provides manual tone, color and perspective controls; the presenter prefers Develop RAW first for raw files and Enhance AI first for JPEGs.

A sign-removal example compares traditional Erase, which uses surrounding pixels, with GenErase. The traditional result clips part of a lantern and needs restoration; the presenter prefers the generative result in this example. Mystical and Mood then add a glow and LUT-based color treatment.

Sports portraits show how to save presets and copy adjustments across selected photos. The presenter adapts the treatment for different skin tones and resets eye color to Original so a shared preset does not impose the same eye color on everyone. He skips applying the full batch because processing would take time.

The final steps cover JPEG export at original size with Adobe RGB and quality 100, followed by publishing a Spaces gallery. The gallery demonstration includes link sharing, downloads and controls to disable downloads or show metadata.
