As I work through a photo edit I'll discuss the reasons as to why I prefer one version of Luminar over another, but why that may not be the right choice for you. Get Luminar AI with a discount here: https://bit.ly/Lum-AI using code ATSKY10 or Neo here: https://bit.ly/Luminar-NEO

Both of the newest versions of Luminar share similarities through their layout and tools. However under the hood of one is a far speedier engine, the addition of layers and the very underrated ability to add multiple instances of the same tool. (Yes, it's more useful than you'd think!). But Luminar AI was designed to be an easy and fun editor. And that it is. So the decision of which photo app is right for you and your photos may not be as straight forward as you think.
Watch the video and then make a call yourself as to which one is right for you. And as I point out in the conclusion of the video, it may even make sense to own both.
