What's the difference between Generative tools and AI tools?
Luminar Neo has a variety of photo editing tools, and most of them are AI-powered. You’ll find such tools as Sky AI, which allows you to easily replace a sky in no time, or Enhance AI, a photo enhancer which applies a dozen improvements in one slide. The Generative tools analyze your photos and generate new elements according to the content of your photo. Currently, Luminar Neo has three Generative tools — GenErase for erasing unwanted elements and seamlessly filling the gaps, GenSwap for swapping elements for other prompted elements, and GenExpand for expanding the scene beyond the edges of the frame.
How can I use Luminar Neo on a new device?
If you have a Luminar Neo subscription, you can use it on a second device by simply installing Luminar Neo and accessing it with the same Skylum account you’ve used on the first device. If you want to transfer your subscription to another device, you’ll need to reset your activations in your Skylum Account. Visit the "My Software" tab in your Skylum Account and check the number of available seats. If you wish to replace your seat with another device, the "Reset" buttons are available for each product you own. Click "Activations" and then "Reset activation" to remove a specific device or "Reset all activations" to remove all activations at once.
Note: It’s safe to reset all activations if you don’t know which device to remove. New device(s) will be added to the list as soon as you activate Luminar Neo on them and the old device(s) will be automatically added when you launch the app. Once you are done, press "Download" to install Luminar Neo on your new device.
What should I do if I want to use Luminar Neo on more than 1 or 2 devices?
You can always get additional seats by clicking the "Get Seats" button next to the "Activations" button in the “My software” tab in your Skylum account.
