I used this image below of our very own Vanelli, which was shot on a Micro Four Thirds camera with an ISO of 5000. But how does it stand up to some of the industry’s leaders? Sure, Luminar Neo’s Noiseless AI is a great option. It’s great to have these tools as a part of the overall ecosystem, and it eliminates Luminar users from having to purchase third-party applications when everything can be done right inside the host program. Speed issues aside, Noiseless AI does a nice job, and it’s a great option for those who rely on Luminar Neo on a daily basis. I can’t imagine how long it would take on an older machine. Using one of Luminar Neo’s sample images from a Nikon D800, setting Noiseless AI to the High setting took 15 seconds to render. Noiseless AI - especially when you first run an image through it - is pretty slow. There was one big flaw, though, at least with the beta version I had. Details stayed sharp, and Noiseless AI seemed to do what it promises. Overall, Luminar Neo did a nice job here, and the results were effective in reducing noise in my images. You can use the eye icon in the tool to see what your image looked like before and after the adjustment. Once Noiseless AI is complete, it’ll zoom in on your image, letting you see the noise that’s been reduced. This lets you use the brush, gradients and Mask AI tools to select only parts of your image to be affected by Noiseless AI. You can take it a step further, too, by going over to the Masking tab.

Three sliders are present in the Adjustments tab - Luminosity Denoise, Details and Sharpness. Once you choose one of the three presets, you’ll have options to further tweak the results.
