The imgmi app, Luminar for your smartphone

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

It turns out there is an app called imgmi, made by Skylum. Yes, the same Skylum that developed and sells Luminar. It brings some of Luminar NEO's features to your smartphone.

Recently, I created the Luminar NEO course on Photofacts Academy, which also covers Luminar Share. This app connects your smartphone to the Luminar NEO you are using on your computer. It is suitable for sharing images to and from your smartphone, but you cannot edit photos.

It turns out there is another app called imgmi. On Skylum's own website, where you can also find Luminar NEO, you will see little or nothing about this app. For that, you need to visit the special website.

There is little information on the imgmi website, but if you follow the button to the App Store or Play Store, you will find out more about this smartphone programme. It shows that it has a number of features we know from Luminar NEO.

• Replace the sky
  
• Remove power lines
  
• Remove unwanted elements from the image
  
• Change the exposure of your subject
  
• Adjust the background
  

The description used by Skylum reads, loosely translated, as follows:

It is designed to completely adjust your smartphone photo until you are left with a photo that is dramatic and atmospheric, or has an artistic wow effect.

It gives you better photos from your travels, including at popular and busy tourist spots. Don't just replace a sky, also remove unwanted power lines from your image. Or people who are distracting in the background.

Remove clutter, leaves and other attention-grabbing objects very easily. Your photos will look better, which means you will get more attention from your followers and generate more likes.

This description by Skylum does at least give a good idea of what the programme is designed for. So it is not software for editing your photo, but for manipulating it.

The app has no connection with Luminar NEO, so you should really see it as a standalone app. But you could perhaps combine it with Luminar Share.

You don't get imgmi for free, apart from a seven-day trial. You can buy a lifetime licence, or take out a subscription for a monthly or annual fee.

As far as I have been able to find out, the costs are 10.99 dollars per month or 35.99 dollars per year. A one-off licence costs 59.99 dollars. It is not clear what you get with the subscription. The information is missing. I have also seen other, lower prices mentioned.

The imgmi app cannot be found on Skylum's own website, but on a separate website. Check the App Store or the Play Store for more information.
