What does Luminar Nio do that Luminar AI doesn't? So you're either watching this video because you own Luminar AI and you've heard of Luminar Nio. Maybe you don't own Luminar AI and you've heard of both. Or perhaps you've got Luminar 4 and you've heard about Luminar Nio's release. Here's the truth and I'm going to give it to you straight. Luminar Nio is getting released in the next few months. There are some big differences between Luminar Nio and Luminar AI. We are going into that in just a minute. But first here's the sad news. Luminar 4 owners should know that Skylim are going to start making and updating Luminar 4. And that means that Luminar Nio has been designed to replace Luminar 4. Now this is not good news for Luminar 4 users I understand. But on the other hand, this does mean that Luminar AI will not be getting replaced by Luminar Nio and here's why. Luminar AI is closer to Lightroom in terms of usability with more focus on AI powered tools. Now this suits people with little to no experience because you can make impressive changes to your photos very quickly. It also has a photo catalogue feature just like Lightroom which enables you to store, sort and batch edit your photos. Luminar Nio on the other hand does not do this. It doesn't have a catalogue feature and it's not designed to batch edit photos. So what are the how should we even be interested in Luminar Nio then? Well, Luminar Nio has been designed to be a powerful alternative to Photoshop which means it will have a lot of horsepower under the hood. Luminar Nio actually has some incredible features that you will not find in Luminar AI. It also has a completely different engine ringer. Now this is called a module engine which I won't get into all the specifics but port basically, Luminar Nio will be able to carry out huge edits with your photos a lot quicker and smoother than Luminar AI. Skylam have actually said this is one of the reasons that Luminar AI couldn't just be updated to include extra features inside Luminar Nio. So what are these new powerful tools we're going to find inside Luminar Nio that are not found in Luminar AI? Here's the rundown. Using real-life AI, Luminar Nio analyzes each image to recognise the depth of a scene and its subject. This allows precise control over exposure and tone. Mask AI is able to see into your scene and effortlessly pick out people, cars, roads, trees, skies, water, mountains and so much more. This results in fast and incredible selections in your images. Portrait background removal AI takes full control of the background for portrait photos by instantly placing it with an all-new image or background. Overlai's graphics and photographic elements with a transparency channel are provided inside Luminar Nio. This is another way for artists to break out of that photographic box and then jump into the world of creation and compositing. Luminar Nio also has layers. This means it will be perfect for creators looking to have complete control over the photo editing process, just like you get in Photoshop. If you use layers, you'll know that this can be a big deal. Artifacts can be introduced from dust on the surface of a lens or dust that finds its way onto the sensor. Dust removal AI removes them and provides a spotless result. Lines removal AI is a new tool which automatically removes unwanted power lines and phone lines from the sky. This is perfect for landscape or outdoor photos. If you want to know more about these features offered in Luminar Nio, just check out this video which I made showing up right here. This goes into more detail about them. The bottom line is who is Luminar Nio actually for? Let's answer it this way. Luminar AI is for people who want to make fast edits to their photos with little to no experience and also have a catalog feature to store their photos and batch edit them. This is similar to Lightroom. Luminar Nio on the other hand is perfect for people with more experience when editing photos. Who want to have freedom to create whatever they can imagine? If it's photo editing, compositing, or graphic design, Luminar Nio is going to provide you with the power and the tools to make it happen, just like Photoshop.
