Skylum’s focus is on editing - and they do that very well. They are not getting into the asset management game.

There are no tools to migrate a Luminar 4 catalog into Luminar AI. I do not expect to ever see IPTC metadata management in Luminar. So are integrations with other tools like Nik and Topaz, so Luminar AI is not a hub to manage your photos. Star ratings and color labels are gone from Luminar AI. If you have asset management needs beyond the basics of folders, you need to look at other tools and consider Luminar AI as a supplemental tool for editing. However, it is not in my opinion a digital asset manager. I can’t stress that enough - it is a great editor. Luminar AI is here and it’s great for editing. The simplicity and fun factor of Luminar AI, compared to frustration of doing the same tasks in Photoshop, just makes working in Luminar AI a joy for any user level.SAVE $10 on Luminar AI!

Add to that, the very large range of sky options available for purchase. and, even though Photoshop has Machine learning features, Luminar AI doesn’t require a knowledge of masking, making the process far less complex. The AI (Artificial Intelligence, AKA Machine Learning) of Luminar AI is aware of the content of the photo, sky, land, people, trees, etc. But if you are an experienced Photoshop user, you can export directly to Luminar AI for additional work. Because of that, casual Photoshop users find it daunting due to the steep learning curve.

In the (find) Sky feature of Photoshop, it’s almost always necessary to use Select and Mask for fine tuning. Masking those kinds details can result in halos and obvious detail edges, a big giveaway that the photo has been altered. Horizon lines, tree details like leaves and other fine details are always a challenge in sky replacement. I have to be honest, I was suspicious of Luminar AI.
