Great to see new products coming out. For me the darkness on the back wall in Neo just screamed bad hdr merge. I liked the outside and the left side of the photo, but not that dark artifact which would take a fair bit of time to even out.

So far it's been really nice for my drone photos, making them more sharper and reducing noise so it's a keeper for that. However for real estate HDR merging, Neo makes the interior look too grungy and there's dark halo around the windows I don't want to spend too much time editing.

So far I have found some utility with Luminar Neo and the HDR extension. I really like the relight function, to bring light to the areas in a photo that I could not get lit properly. The HDR extension is perfect for exterior HDR photos, and like you pointed out, there isn't much adjusting needed after the merge. My only issue is the lack of batch processing, if I was to shoot the whole property in brackets it would take forever to process the images solely through Luminar. If they add this function I would probably lean more into Luminar Neo, as of right now I use it as a supplement to Lrc and photoshop for some niche tweaks and 6 or so HDR exterior shots per project. Great video!

Hey Perry! Thanks for your insight. Exactly what I was thinking, great results of a single merge but I can’t imagine doing a whole property, let alone multiple every week. That would be such a great feature though! Thanks for watching

I just picked up Luminar Neo last week and learning on the fly. I love this video regarding merging, it's something I want to learn how to do, as well as the many other tools to be more creative. Do you have Luminar for beginners videos? I do have LR but it's a very old version. Right now I'm not into paying an annual fee to subscribe to LR, the reason I picked up Luminar Neo. Thanks for your time and help.

I love Luminar for exteriors, but for interiors not so much. I really wanted the new Luminar HDR feature to enhance my workflow but the results you are getting probably wouldn't be accepted in the market I work in. Enfuse with LR still wins the day for me (especially for batch processing).

@@AndreiRestrepo Luminar Neo is the only software I use. I used to use PS for portraits but I could never find a solution to the mystery of masks and it made me insane with frustration! I still do portraits but I switched to Luminar to avoid being committed and when I started real estate photography, it was so much easier to make corrections and the tutorials were much easier to follow. The AI doesn't always give you the look you want but it's a big help. Screw Adobe! I love Luminar!

Andrei, thanks for the info. I just tried out Luminar Neo with the HDR plug-in and have never been so dissatisfied with a software product. These guys definitely are good marketers, because there is ZERO reason to pay at least $99/year for this garbage. If you’re already using Lightroom Classic for your professional workflow and HDR merging, keep doin’ what you’re doin’ … the workflow of Neo blows, my Nikon in-camera lens corrections and profile were stripped out, so it created a distorted, vignetted photo and made a crappy HDR from that.

hmm. I just bought luminar and the HDR. I'm disappointed. I shoot most of my HDRs handheld, (the stuff I do you don't have time for a tripod). Luminar doesn't seem to autoalign, for example I photographed some writings, and lightroom corrected it perfectly, however Luminar had two sets of writing where I had slightly moved. also, YES it looks more even in Luminar, BUT, in Lightroom you are working with DNG still and can still use cameras profiles, which is huge in my workflow using Luts saved at camera profiles. You get different results with luminar. It's kinda like how Capture 1 looks "better" straight out of camera, but it's not actually "correct". Any tips on getting them aligned in luminar? Or would it just be easier to work in LR and get a refund for luminar?

Hey Terry! Yeah, I was definitely running into that issue. I exported this photo a few times like that and was so confused until it finally exported at full res. It seemed to be a loading problem. Like maybe too many effects so it was previewing a low res version and then exporting that vs the full photo. While I was trying to figure it out, it randomly loaded while sitting in the app. Unfortunately I don’t have a perfect workaround at this time. Thanks for watching!
