Skylum released a new Luminar Neo version 1.27 that expands its cross-device ecosystem with new AI portrait tools and bokeh AI:
Skylum has released Luminar Neo 1.27, further strengthening its cross-device editing ecosystem across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. The update focuses on expanding AI-powered portrait capabilities while improving creative depth control, helping photographers move seamlessly from capture to final edit on any device.
The new release enhances Luminar’s portrait toolkit with AI-driven tools, including Dark Circles Removal, Blemish Removal, Shine Removal, and Skin Smoothing. These additions allow photographers to achieve natural-looking portrait retouching quickly and without complex workflows. Improvements to masking and feathering also help deliver more realistic results, especially when refining faces and skin.
Luminar Neo 1.27 also introduces an upgraded Bokeh AI tool that goes beyond traditional portrait blur. The new version allows users to apply realistic background blur not only to people, but also to objects and animals, offering greater creative flexibility and more control over depth and focus.
With these updates, Luminar Neo continues to position itself as an accessible AI-powered editor for hobbyist and semi-professional photographers. The combination of fast portrait retouching, creative depth tools, and seamless cross-device editing supports modern workflows—starting edits on mobile and finishing with full control on desktop.
