The new Luminar 4 version released this autumn will include an AI Sky Replacement filter. It lets you automatically give your image a new sky within seconds.

And all that without needing tools such as smart selection, brightness, masking, overlays, layers, masking, smart brushes or colour range.

The new version of Luminar is all about machine learning, innovation and new tools that no other software has. That in itself is already interesting!

Skylum continues to innovate by automating routine editing and developing new tools that help users improve their creative skills.

In Luminar 2018, they introduced the AI Sky Enhancer filter, and earlier this year they added the smart Accent AI 2.0 filter to Luminar 3. Since then, we've been wondering how they can take photo editing to an even higher level.

The first feature they want to reveal is the revolutionary AI Sky Replacement filter, which automatically gives your image a new sky within seconds without requiring much effort. Everything happens automatically, and according to Skylum, with a beautiful end result.

We've all experienced it, photographing on flat, cloudy days with absolutely no colour in the sky. The sky is an important part of a scene, but it can often be boring.

Until now, photographers have had to spend minutes or even hours replacing skies manually, but with the new AI Sky Replacement, Skylum says this takes just a few seconds.

The end is nowhere to be found.
Deeply sad.

Program won't be released until late autumn (Dec 20?) But they already want people who have Lum.3 to pre-order (and pay) even though very little to nothing else is known yet.

With a 60-day money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied, but I still think it's risky because you have to pay first.
That's how they want to pre-finance the new version.

I got my money back fairly quickly twice. So they don't make a fuss about that.

Yes I took the gamble and am thus participating in the pre-financing. But I am also very curious what they are going to bring. They constantly challenge Adobe and that's nice because it makes Lightroom get adjusted faster. But you can see that Luminar is now also asking for money while all updates have been free so far this year. We'll wait and see.
