Sharp details,
natural look

In photo editing, "structure" refers to a specific image adjustment that enhances the perception of details and textures in a photograph. The structure adjustment allows you to increase or decrease the prominence of fine details, which can significantly impact the overall look and feel of the image.

Whether you should blur the background or a detail in a photo depends on the creative intent and the story you want to convey through the image. Each approach serves different purposes and can create distinct visual effects. If your photo’s background or detail is distracting, it’s a good idea to blur them.

Structure AI is a tool in Luminar Neo that helps you deliver sharp details while keeping the natural look of your photo and without adding details where it’s unnecessary. Unlock detail and clarity to make images that pop simply by tweaking a slider. Structure AI increases image contrast and brings out more details, keeping human figures untouched.

Applying the Structure AI tool can be useful to make plain backgrounds more interesting and visually engaging. It allows you to enhance the textures and details in the background, adding depth and making it stand out without introducing distracting elements.

Structure AI is content-aware. Simply tweak the slider to adjust the amount of the effect, and see how the photo becomes more detailed in seconds. Notice that the human figures in the image will remain untouched.
