Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum, says that the update aims to strip out the complexity that some editors experience for certain workflows.
"Too often, complexity is the enemy of creativity. It adds time and frustration to a process we think should be fun, even joyful. With LuminarAI, our goal is to strip out that complexity. Update 2 builds on this work and offers more creative tools. I am excited to see what people make with it."

Under the hood, our enhanced AI engine ingeniously creates new possibilities.
