Lensa AI
The definitive AI creative suite for professional-grade portraiture and generative art.
Advanced AI-driven computational photography and semantic image synthesis.
Skylum, the successor to Macphun, represents a pinnacle in the 'science of imaging' through its Luminar Neo platform. By 2026, the tool has fully transitioned from a traditional pixel-manipulation suite to a neural-engine-driven environment. Its architecture relies on semantic segmentation, where the AI identifies discrete objects—water, sky, skin, buildings—and applies adjustments within a 3D depth-mapped space rather than a flat 2D plane. This approach, which Skylum internally refers to as their 'Imaging Science,' allows for complex operations like Relight AI, which calculates light bounce in a scene, and GenErase, a generative in-painting model. Positioned as a direct competitor to Adobe's Firefly-integrated ecosystem, Skylum focuses on a 'no-layer' workflow where AI handles complex masking automatically. For 2026, the tool integrates deeply with edge computing, allowing local execution of heavy generative tasks, minimizing cloud latency and maximizing privacy for professional photographers and enterprise marketing teams. It serves as an essential bridge between raw capture and final production, utilizing specialized models for astronomical, landscape, and portrait photography.
