Overall, Luminar AI pushes past Luminar 4 in terms of simplicity and beginner-friendly design.

It’s missing a few features present in Luminar 4 (to be discussed in a moment!), plus some tools (e.g., cropping, presets) are more difficult to access. Unfortunately, Luminar AI’s minimalism does come with some drawbacks. Honestly, when working in Luminar AI, you can feel the difference image organization and editing are cleaner, the whole program feels less cluttered, and you feel like you’re working in a high-tech, futuristic software environment. You should immediately see the improvements made to Luminar AI, such as the loss of top-menu items, the left-hand filmstrip, and more.
