Luminar Neo photo editing software

Luminar is a flagship creative software brand developed by Skylum. Originally founded as Macphun in Ukraine, the brand underwent a significant rebranding to Skylum to reflect its expanding ecosystem and multi-platform availability across Windows and macOS. The product is widely known for pioneering AI-driven photo editing tools that simplify complex retouching tasks.

While Skylum is headquartered in the United States, its primary research and development operations remain deeply rooted in Ukraine. This dual-presence allows the company to leverage Eastern European engineering talent while maintaining a corporate base in Washington. The ownership has remained independent through its founders, focusing exclusively on innovative imaging technologies.
