Luminar Neo 1.2.0: HDR Merge extension, dodge & burn tool, bug fixes, and stability improvements
Pinned Featured
In the new Luminar Neo 1.2.0 Update, we introduce extensions — paid professional features that expand the capabilities of Luminar Neo. The first extension we’re releasing is HDR Merge, which can merge up to 10 exposure-bracketed images into a single HDR photo. HDR Merge delivers a spectacular level of color enhancement, making the final result look as close as possible to what the human eye can see.
Also, something we know you’ve been waiting for — the Dodge & Burn tool is finally available in Luminar Neo with this update. We are committed to enhancing the experience of Luminar artists with quality of life features and improvements. Here is a list of the latest enhancements (more are on the way).
- Add Tools to Favorites with visible animation on macOS
- Rotate & Flip any photo from the Catalog
- New interface for the EXIF panel
- New interface for the catalog header
- Export 8-bit and 16-bit PNG images
- Improved Spanish localization
Thanks to feedback from our artists, we fixed another list of bugs.
Mac OS Bug fixes:
- Empty trash button is now available for any number of photos selected.
- Added folders display the correct number of photos.
- White balance color preset is now updated for every new opened image.
- Strokes in Masking mode are applied to the image in the Erase Tool after the previous edited image is removed from the folder.
Windows Bug fixes:
- Empty trash button is now available for any number of photos selected.
- White balance “As Shot” presets are correctly displayed for raw images.
- Crop tool logic now handles issues that may occur when an image isn’t fully loaded.
- Layer properties work stably after Background Removal.
- The DCP from DNG profile can now be applied to an image.
- The image canvas is loaded on start even if the program was closed in the Edit tab.

Hey, nice new features.
About the dodge&burn, can you add options similar to how Adobe Photoshop does it? Namely being able to set if to affect Dark Tones, Mid Tones or Light tones. This so that it does not indiscriminately darken or lighten just everything in the same manner.
Thanks

Hi Tom,
Please see my reply in this thread:

Martin Miron: The HDR Merge process converts your photo to HDR (High Dynamic Range). You then use the other Neo tools to edit that photo to accomplish your vision.
