5 reasons to use Luminar Neo over Adobe Lightroom

Correction on Lightroom, you don't have to send it to the cloud, I don't need the cloud, so I bought the Photoshop, Lightroom combo pack with minimum cloud storage. I've paused the cloud back up.
But then you get a message in a blue bar in the image window that says it could not update to the lastest version saved in the cloud.
Things are saved on my pc, there is no need to use the cloud feature if you don't want to, actually need it.

Thanks for the rundown 🥕
I’m a Lightroom guy and having some sort of feelings 😂😂🤯

I'm with you on Neo as a pluggin, but it does not replace Lightroom for cataloging unless maybe through Bridge. In addition, I think the quality of edits are better through Lightroom in many cases, esp those involving color.

I tried it on trial and rejected it. Poor photo manager - it doesn't even allow access to IPTC metadata. And it must be the only paid photo editing software that doesn't utilize dual monitors.

Ah, come on Fulaan. Your review misses all of the "cons" of Neo. One of the most important tools in any editing workflow is masking and Neo fails miserably. Perhaps you have never used Lightroom's merge feature and you forgot to mention that Neo's merge feature is an add on that costs extra. You should compare Photoshop's sky replacement to Neo's. Where did you get the crazy idea that Lrc only works in the cloud and not on a desktop? Neo has created some tools that simplify the things you can do in other editing apps but please tell the whole story.

I have learnt something new

Amazing

Great stuff! Thank you for your review!

You're awesome my friend

Can you shoot a music video with the R10?

I’m getting back into videography and I’m glad I stumbled upon your page!

Hey man. Love your content! Do you also have videos about the EOS RP? Mostly for video.

Have a great one! 🔥

Great video, thanks! Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and I love it!
PS: Fulan is a Tunisian name meaning somebody, do you have any Tunisian or Northafrican origins?

Great video man! Thank you

Good 😌

I honestly love Luminars software. I've been following their development for many years now, and while they changed the name a bunch of times, the product hasn't changed as much lol. It's definitely fun to use and enables beginners to do some crazy tricks. You also completely missed talking about layers, a feature I also overlooked at the start.

But my largest gripe with it, and the reason I always come back to Lightroom Classic no matter how much I hate it, is the ridiculously underpowered export module. LRCs export module is insanely powerful with presets, naming templates, batch processing and even plugin support. Neo can't even rename my files on export. It's ridiculously bad, and it has not received a singular update since the very first versions of Luminar. In LRC I can run multiple export jobs at once, for internal use with camera Metadata, low resolution exports for social media with Metadata removed, and special exports with metadata overlays and watermarks all in a few clicks. It is unrivaled and saves me so many headaches I would otherwise have renaming, organizing and watermarking my deliverables.
