Frequently Asked Questions

What is HDR Merge extension?

HDR Merge is custom-built technology in Luminar Neo for merging up to 10 exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR photo and hdr processing. It is available as an extension and will appear as a separate module inside Luminar Neo.

HDR Merge is a great HDR photography software alternative that delivers a spectacular level of color enhancement, making the final result look as close as possible to what the human eye can see. If merging multiple images, you’ll also benefit from auto-alignment and ghost reduction features.

What are the advantages of HDR Merge over Aurora HDR?

Incorporating HDR Merge into Luminar Neo makes it a one-stop solution for stunning landscape and architecture photos.

Before you had to merge exposure brackets in bracketing software Aurora HDR first, then switch to Luminar for post-processing. Now you can create HDR photos directly in Luminar Neo and combine the power of the dynamic range improvements of HDR editing software with Luminar’s most advanced AI-powered tools for rich-in-detail-and-color photos.

The HDR Merge extension streamlines the editing process and saves your time while providing vivid results.

Who’s entitled to a free HDR Merge extension?

You’ll receive HDR Merge for free if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • you’re a Skylum customer with a Luminar Neo subscription;
  • you’re an owner of both Luminar Neo and Aurora HDR photo software (2019 and up).

Aurora HDR (2019 and up) users who don’t own Luminar Neo have an opportunity to buy Luminar Neo with a loyalty discount and receive the HDR Merge extension for free.

Starting from the release day (July 28, 2022), you can download the extension from your Skylum account.

Where can I download HDR Merge once it is released?

The download process starts in your Skylum account.

Please note that your HDR Merge purchase is automatically linked to your billing email, so make sure to log in to a Skylum account associated with that email.

  1. Go to the Skylum account login page here.
  2. Sign in with your Google, Facebook, Microsoft, or Apple account, or sign in with your email and password.
  3. If you purchased HDR Merge using an email address not tied to it, you can merge your accounts in the My Products > App isn’t showing? section of your Skylum account.
  4. In your account, you will see a My software tab with all of your Skylum programs and extensions.
  5. Navigate to the Extensions menu under Luminar Neo and сlick on the Run in Luminar Neo button.
  6. Verify whether you have the latest Luminar Neo version or click I already have the latest version to proceed.
  7. You’ll get redirected to Luminar Neo’s in-app extension store. Click Install under HDR Merge to start the installation process.

Once the installation is complete, you can access HDR Merge in the right panel of Luminar Neo’s Catalog tab. Now you can start your HDR photo editing!

Will batch processing be available in HDR Merge?

HDR Merge is an extension built into Luminar Neo, and not a separate HDR photo editor, so it uses Luminar Neo’s catalog and export window. Therefore, it cannot batch-process photos on its own. However, you can easily sync adjustments applied to the already created HDR photos:

  1. Apply the necessary edits to one of the images.
  2. Right-click it and select Adjustments>Copy Adjustments.
  3. While holding CTRL (on Windows)/CMD (on macOS) key on your keyboard, multi-select the images which you would like to edit in the same way
  4. Right-click one of the selected images and choose Adjustments > Sync/Paste Adjustments.
  5. Finish by using the Export command to batch export multiple photos

What is LuminarAI?

LuminarAI is an all-new application and plug-in and the first fully AI-powered image editing software in the world.


While Skylum is well-known for building software that taps into artificial intelligence for great results, LuminarAI is entirely different. 


We built LuminarAI with artificial intelligence at its core. Artificial intelligence saves you time and effort. Before, traditional editing software was outdated. It was time-consuming and hard to learn. It required effort and skills to get satisfying results. With LuminarAI, you can create great-looking photos much faster. It’s perfect for anyone, of any skill level. 


While other companies use artificial intelligence as a catchphrase, LuminarAI is packed full of truly smart technology. LuminarAI features many AI tools that allow you to get more done in less time.

                  • CPU Intel® Core™ i5 or better, AMD Ryzen™ 5 or better

                            Are third-party plug-ins supported? (including Aurora HDR and Luminar 4)

                            In our other applications, third-party plug-ins are supported and send back the processed image as a new layer. 


                            One of the changes in LuminarAI is the switch from layers to a Local Adjustments tool and smart segmentation of our AI-powered tools. This is why there will be no third-party plugin support in LuminarAI. If you need to merge bracketed photos, we suggest using Aurora HDR in its standalone mode.

                            Can I use LuminarAI as a plug-in?

                            LuminarAI is a universal solution that can function both as a standalone editor and a plug-in.

                            Using LuminarAI as a plug-in, you’ll be able to bring creative and timesaving workflow to your host application. LuminarAI allows you to revolutionize the way you enhance photos but conveniently fits into your current workflow. 


                            LuminarAI can be used as a plug-in or extension for: 


                              • Lightroom Classic (starting from version 6)

                                • Photoshop (from version CS5)

                                  • Photos for macOS


                                  Does LuminarAI handle RAW files?

                                  Of course! LuminarAI RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. We regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide perfect support for new cameras. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.

                                  Can I use other skies/textures/objects in LuminarAI?

                                  Yes, you can use your own sky textures and objects in LuminarAI.


                                  SkyAI will work with your own photos if they are in one of the following formats: JPEG, PNG and TIFF. Here are guidelines on preparing skies for best results. Augmented SkyAI will work with your own objects if they are in PNG format with the Alpha channel or JPG format with a fully black background.
