The Luminar Neo Migration Tool: Transferring Your Edits from Luminar AI

Luminar Neo, the latest software released by Skylum Software, created quite a buzz when it was announced. However, one issue that disappointed many users was the incompatibility between the Luminar Neo catalog and the Luminar AI catalog. This meant that any edits made in Luminar AI would not be transferred to Luminar Neo. Understandably, users expressed their concerns and frustrations to Skylum Software. Responding to the feedback, Skylum Software developed a migration tool as a solution to address this problem.

Now, the migration tool is finally available for download, and if You own both Luminar AI and Luminar Neo, you can transfer all your edits from Luminar AI to Luminar Neo seamlessly. To begin the migration process, simply visit Skylum's Website and log into your account. Once logged in, navigate to the "My Software" section. At the top right-HAND corner, you will find the "Luminar Neo Migration Tool." Download it for free and run the tool.

It's worth noting that the migration tool not only transfers the edits you made in Luminar AI to Luminar Neo but also preserves any templates you created. This means that all your presets in Luminar AI will be carried over to Luminar Neo simultaneously. The migration process is relatively straightforward. Add your Luminar AI catalog to the migration tool by specifying its location on your system. If you have multiple catalogs, you can migrate them all at once by adding them sequentially. Once the catalogs are added, click "Migrate," and the tool will initiate the transfer process.

However, it's essential to understand the limitations of the migration tool. While it successfully transfers most edits and templates from Luminar AI to Luminar Neo, certain features specific to Luminar AI, such as the augmented Sky AI Tool, may not be available in Luminar Neo. In such cases, the tool will transfer the edited image as it is, but the specific feature will be "baked in." Consequently, you won't be able to re-edit or readjust that particular aspect of the image using Luminar Neo.

Once the migration is complete, you can open Luminar Neo with the newly migrated catalog. Simply double-click on the migrated catalog file, and Luminar Neo will launch with your transferred edits, allowing you to re-edit them if needed. It's important to note that the migration process creates a separate catalog for Luminar Neo, rather than merging the catalogs. Currently, there is no built-in functionality to merge catalogs in Luminar Neo. However, you can access your original Luminar Neo catalog by navigating to "File > Catalog > Open Recent" and selecting the desired catalog.

In conclusion, the Luminar Neo migration tool provides a viable solution for users who wish to transfer their edits from Luminar AI to Luminar Neo. Although some limitations exist, such as the inability to merge catalogs, the tool ensures that your edits and templates are seamlessly migrated. With this migration tool, you can Continue to work on your images in Luminar Neo without losing any previous editing work done in Luminar AI.
