Luminar preview: export, printing and AI editing tutorial

Anthony Morganti demonstrates an early beta of Luminar, the photo editor previously called Luminar Neo, ahead of its announced October 28 release. He notes that some behavior may change before release.

The export dialog has a full-screen preview, format-specific settings and resizing controls. Its Signature option adds text or a PNG watermark, with controls for placement, size and opacity. The print dialog supports imported ICC profiles for a specific printer and paper combination, with soft proofing to preview the expected print appearance. A separate Order Prints workflow sends an exported image to a lab; the demonstrated ordering page is marked beta.

Morganti also tests Smart Compositions, which suggests up to 12 crops. He dislikes several results and considers the feature unfinished. He finds Atmosphere AI 2.0 more convincing around subjects and nighttime light sources. In his Enhance AI example, he reports subtler adjustments and no visible branch halos when combining Accent AI with Sky Enhancer.

The AI Assistant accepts a request for a complete edit and a follow-up asking it to brighten the result. Applying each response requires a click. Morganti also describes its use for tool instructions. He says the planned masking overhaul will arrive in November, outside this release.
