Cheers Ian. It is improving. I genuinely wish them well. Although I do wish they'd concentrate more on the real-world processing and a bit less on the gimmicky stuff. :)
Geez Andy that poster one killed me :) I use Genfill in Adobe mostly to remove unwanted objects or expand the canvas of an image a little. I was a big fan of neo when it came out, however Luminar changed the pricing and options way to often for my taste and tries to hard to be Adobe 2.0 without fixing existing problems like managing a large catalogue etc. Rather Luminar pushes out unnecessary Plugins (like the Neon glow...) instead of really concentrating on the core program.
Yea cheers Armin, it's got a bit gimmicky, Luminar Neo. There still some good features in there, but all this stuff with neon lights is pretty low rent.
Skylum is playing catch up with the GenAI tools. They still do have a lifetime payment plan and with the GenAI, they are pushing a subscription to pay for the server use. The resolution is one thing you didn't mention as Adobe is 1024x1024 and Skylum is 1536x1536.
Personally I use a simple Lama Cleaner to get rid of artifacts and unwanted elements in my photos. The advantage of that solution is that it is free :) github.com/Sanster/lama-cleaner
Skylum, but like your test's some strange result, I would say 75% of good results but it is improving.

I have Neo, played with the fill and the gen but a bit of hit and miss. The fact that Neo is going subscription next year was the reason i got on1
Yea, shame about the subscription. The writing's been on the wall for some time I think.
I think I would use the Remove Tool in Photoshop on the first image.
Yep but I wanted to see what the AI fill could do.

Good point about the resolution - I should have mentioned that.

Thanks for the tip - I will download it. Looks like it'd be a cool app to review too. Cheers. :)
