Ora analizziamo passo passo ciascuna fase.
Passaggio 1: crea il tuo account

✓ Punto di controllo: Controlla il tuo posta in arrivo per ricevere un'e-mail di conferma.
Passaggio 2: Scarica o accedi all'app

Run it, then log in with your new account.
Ecco come si presenta l'area di lavoro:
✓ Punto di controllo: You should see the Catalog with an empty photo library.
Passaggio 3: Completare la configurazione iniziale
Click Add Photos and choose a folder to import.
Then open Extensions and install add-ons like focus stacking or Noiseless AI.
Check for latest updates so every AI tool is current.
✅ Fatto: You’re ready to start editing with any feature below.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI All-in-One Toolkit
Kit di strumenti tutto in uno puts every core editing tool in one panel.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Open an Image in Edit
Select a photo in the Catalog and click the Edit tab.
The right panel shows Essentials, Creative, Portrait, and Professional tool groups.
Step 2: Start With the Develop Tool
Open Develop first to fix white balance, exposure, and highlights.
Always begin editing with the Develop tool to fix global issues.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: The image now has balanced tones and no clipped highlights.
Step 3: Add Creative Effects
Move to the Creative group for glows, film grain, and mood.
Keep each effect subtle so the final image still looks natural.
✅ Risultato: You built a clean base edit and layered creative effects on top.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Use the before-and-after comparison after every major change. It stops you from overcooking an edit you have stared at too long.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI Photo Enhancer
Miglioratore di foto AI uses Enhance AI to improve exposure, contrast, and detail with one slider.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Open Enhance AI
Find Enhance AI under the Essentials group.
Enhance AI is often the first tool used in the editing process.
Step 2: Move the Accent AI Slider
Drag the Accent AI slider until colors and tones look balanced.
Then raise Sky Enhancer to add depth to dull skies.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Shadows open up and colors look richer without halos.
Step 3: Refine With Structure AI and Noiseless AI
Open Structure AI and raise the Amount slider for visible detail.
The Boost slider emphasizes small details aggressively, so use it lightly.
Finish with Noiseless AI to clean grain from high-ISO shots.
✅ Risultato: Your photo has better tone, more detail, and less noise.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Structure AI protects skin from excessive effects. You can push it on portraits without turning faces crunchy.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI Photo Masking Tool
AI Photo Masking restricts any adjustment to specific areas rather than the entire frame.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Pick a Tool and Open Masking
Choose any tool, then click the Masking tab at the top of it.
You will see Masking AI, Brush, Radial, and Gradient options.
Step 2: Let Masking AI Detect Objects
Click Masking AI and wait a few seconds.
It detects objects like sky, people, buildings, and water.
Click the elements you want to keep in the mask.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: The selected area shows a red overlay while the rest stays clear.
Step 3: Refine and Adjust
Use the Brush to paint edges the AI missed.
Now move the tool sliders; changes only affect the masked area.
✅ Risultato: You edited one part of the photo without touching the rest.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Mask the sky and foreground on separate layers. This gives landscape photographers full control over each zone.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI Portrait Background Remover
Portrait Background Remover removes the background behind your subject in one click.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Open Background Removal AI
Open your portrait and find Background Removal under the Layers or Portrait tools.

Step 2: Select the Subject
Click the detected subject, then click Remove Background.
Use the Refine brush to clean hair and fine edges.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Your subject sits on a transparent background.
Step 3: Add a New Background or Bokeh
Add a new image layer below the subject for a fresh backdrop.
For a softer look, keep the original and use Portrait Bokeh AI instead.
Finish with Face AI, which retouches faces without manual masking.
✅ Risultato: You isolated the subject and placed it on a clean background.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Export cutouts as PNG to keep transparency. That makes them ready for a blog post, thumbnail, or product page.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI Photo Color Transfer
Photo Color Transfer copies the look of one photo onto other images.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Finish Your Reference Edit
Edit one photo until the colors look exactly right.
Smart presets can also suggest custom collections that suit each image.
This becomes the look you want to copy.
Step 2: Save It as a Custom Preset
Open the Presets tab and click Save as Preset.
Name it clearly, such as Warm Sunset or Clean Portrait.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Your new preset appears under My Presets.
Step 3: Apply to Multiple Photos
Select multiple photos in the Catalog.
Click your preset, then use Sync Adjustments to match the set.
✅ Risultato: Your whole shoot now shares one consistent color style.
💡 Consiglio da professionista: Presets should be adjusted for intensity to avoid overly strong effects. Lower the preset amount on high-contrast images.
How to Use Luminar Neo AI Color Layers
AI Color Layers lets you stack color edits on separate layers and blend them.
Ecco come usarlo passo dopo passo.
Step 1: Add a New Layer
Click the plus icon in the Layers panel.

Add Masking AI to the layer to target one area.
Lower the layer opacity until the blend looks natural.

💡 Consiglio da professionista: Name each layer by purpose. Six months later you will still know which layer warms the skin.

Restauro di vecchie foto helps you repair scratches, noise, and blur in old photos.

Step 1: Import Your Scan
Scan the print at high resolution and add it to the Catalog.
TIFF scans hold more detail than JPEG scans.

Open GenErase and brush over scratches, dust, and stains.
The generative AI fills each area with matching texture.
Use the Clone tool for small repeating patterns.
Ecco come si presenta:
✓ Punto di controllo: Scratches and spots are gone from the print.
Step 3: Recover Detail
Run Noiseless AI to reduce grain.
Then add light Structure AI to bring back hidden details.
✅ Risultato: Your damaged print looks clean and sharp again.
