Luminar NEO Background Removal
Answered
I thought Luminar NEO could automatically remove and replace the background. Found a lot of sales pitches for it but no instructions on how to do. Can it be done? If so, how? It isn't intuitive.
Ok...any instructions on how to automatically remove and replace the background in NEO.
Thanks

I'm a bit lost. Understand about the war situation (spent 23 years in the military). Since I'm confused by your above reply, may I ask you simply reply to the following questions with a yes or no.
Currently, does NEO have the ability to automatically remove and replace a background?
If it is yes, would you explain how?
No need to explain about the war situation. I'm just looking for a straight forward answer to my qestions.
Thanks

Hi Dan Baney,
Portrait Background Removal is one of the features that will be added in future updates.

Hi Member,
This feature will be released in update 1.1.0, which will be released soon. I would also like to let you know that the money-back guarantee for Luminar Neo will officially start once this version is available. You'll have a chance to try all the software's tools, and if they don't meet your expectations, request the amount back then.

Luminar neo latest update allows masking on layers which allows a workaround on background changing. I came across this video on YouTube https://youtu.be/aFfSYEiUX5o
Hope this helps you out until neo has the advertised portrait background one click feature added. -
Thanks for the update. I see that you run the ad constantly for one click background replacement, yet that feature is not yet available. It is more like a promise which could go on forever without knowing when the feature will be available. It is obvious you realize that this feature, even though not available, would be a selling point for your product, otherwise you would not use it in your ads. I'd rather see you be more honest in your ad stating this feature is not available yet instead of running an ad that makes it seems it currently is a feature of NEO. Sorry, it just seems a bit misleading and dishonest.

I agree. I bought Neo because of the automatic background removal, and I find no other reason to use it. Without it, it's not worth my time to use it instead of Photoshop. The War in Ukraine is a travesty, but Neo should never have been released without this feature, or the advertising for this feature should stop.
