Skylum Luminar Neo 1.26 for macOS is an AI-powered photo editing application designed for photographers, creative professionals, and content creators. It combines intelligent image enhancement tools with traditional editing controls, allowing users to improve photographs, adjust colors and lighting, retouch portraits, replace skies, and create visually compelling images through an intuitive editing workspace.

The application provides a comprehensive collection of editing tools for exposure, contrast, color balance, sharpness, noise reduction, and image composition.
