Once set up you can quickly send an image to Neo, for example to add some backround bokah or to relight the scene making it a veryuseful add on to Affinity. It’s a little slow to open as a plugin but so is the stand-alone application so no surprises there. In this article I want to look at whether Neo has a role beyond a stand-alone editor and in particular to look at if Neo can work with Affinity Photo, one of my preferred mainstream editors.įirstly, Luminar Neo does work with Lr/Ps from Adobe and as with Luminar 4, which was never an authorised plugin to Affinity, my thoughts were that it would work regardless of any reservations from Skylum. Full of promise as well as it seems serious bugs and limitations, it has faced some tough love from many users myself included. Luminar Neo, released at the beginning of February to early purchasers has had a tough start to life. God, in whatever form you know him, protect and keep you all safe during this difficult time. Now I know that many of Skylums development team are located in the Ukraine and so I would like to make a special mention to them and to their families. Ordinary Russian people have no part in this and they must be as bewildered as the billions of other people around the world watching on in complete dismay and furstration. In the coming days and weeks, democracy and the right of everyone to live their lives in peace will be tested to the limit in the face of unfounded Kremlin aggression instigated alone by Putin. Before I start I just want to say that my thoughts today and everyday are with the people of Ukraine in this their darkest hour.
