Adobe Lightroom VS Luminar Neo | Masking and Noise Reduction

After months of testing Lightroom and Luminar Neo, I’ve finally made my decision! While Luminar Neo offers powerful AI tools and creative effects, Lightroom still wins in mask selection and denoising—two key features for my workflow. However, I’ll still be using Luminar as a plugin for some finishing touches. In this video, I break down the strengths and weaknesses of both editing tools, show side-by-side comparisons, and explain why Lightroom remains my go-to editor. If you're torn between these two software options, this video will help you decide which one is right for you!
