Whilst a full timetable has not been provided, Skylum have noted that platform upgrades and generative technologies will be available to monthly and annual Pro, Explore and ultimate plan subscribers.

Studio Light is expected to be added first in the next release within a month and the rest will be gradually incorporated over the following months this fall.

These technologies somewhat change how Luminar Neo operates, and moves it towards a subscription model.

Existing Luminar Neo lifetime users will need to opt to switch to the pro subscription at an early bird rate (of $49 USD for the first year) or they can make a one time purchase of the 2023/2024 Creative Journey Pass for $39 USD which grants access to generative technologies announced until August 16th 2024 as well as all new features announced and released before that date, except extensions.
