Do I Get Luminar Flex if I Have Luminar 3?

Editing to many photographers is a highly personal train of decisions, and it's not my style to let the software decide. This raises the question of just how much AI photographers want? In general, I shy away from automatic editing tools.

Skylum says they expect to add even more AI features in versions to come. It's similar to a function Lightroom offers, and in my testing, it worked well. There are some improvements to the library functions in the Windows version, and the Mac and Windows version get the ability to sync a photographer-created style across a group of photos.

I didn't look at hundreds of photos, but did edit a few dozen of my images, and yes, the improvements are easily seen, and the AI component never wrecked a photo. They claim that if it can’t make an object in a photograph look better, it won’t be touched.

Skylum says Accent AI 2.0 also includes more careful color correction, as well as a smarter detail boost. Sure, you can achieve these kinds of results with standard editing, but these edits are simple and fast with the AI tools.

My image at the top of this article was improved using only the AI Accent Slider and the AI Sky slider. I do mainly landscapes, and there again, I thought this new version of Luminar 3 does a more natural job with outside photography, and as I played with the sliders, the lower ranges of adjustments stayed quite natural looking.

Version 2.0 gets this much better, and faces stay natural. I received an advance copy of the software and tried it out through a series of edits with a variety of photos.
