So there is no need to keep scrolling up or down like in Lightroom.

What I like about it is that all the features you need for most of the adjustments can be found here. If an image does not require any particular processing, this module will be more than enough by itself. Exposure, Contrast, Highlights and Shadows, Curves, Colors, Perspective, Lens correction, and so on. The Develop Tool has all the basic tools you need to process your photos.All the basic adjustments and masking can be found here.

This is where most of the work would happen with your photos. Now let’s see the main features of the Essentials module. I don’t use them and I wish I could hide them to have more real estate to focus on the image.Įasy to switch between the Tools and Edits (the history, essentially) if you need to modify any previous edits Basic Adjustments – The Luminar Neo Essentials Module In Luminar Neo, Layers are effects that you can add to your image as transparent overlays, such as Lighting effects or bokeh effects. On the left you have layers these are different from Photoshop’s though. The Edit interface is also nicely laid out. However, these can be a great starting point to further refine an image to your likings. I am not using presets much so I’d rather have it in a less visible/distracting place. To be honest, though, I would have placed it on the left sidebar. There are plenty of presets to choose from included in the price. Still, this can work well as a starting point to further refine the presets and adjust images to your liking. This is not a feature I normally use, because I do enjoy processing my images from start to finish and prefer to have total control of their look. Essentially, presets are ready-to-use settings you can apply to an image with a click of a button. Numerous presets are available to quickly process suitable images.
