Radiant Imaging Labs’ Radiant Photo 2 is a photo-editing software that uses assistive AI to enhance images with accurate color correction and sharp details, developed by Radiant Imaging Labs. It processes images locally on your device, ensuring privacy and speed. The software offers both automatic and manual editing modes, catering to beginners and advanced users. It’s available as a standalone app or a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, compatible with modern Windows and macOS systems.

The software’s core features include Radiant Color, which corrects color casts and enhances vibrancy, and Radiant Detail, which sharpens images without overprocessing. Radiant Portrait provides tools for refining skin tones and facial features, ideal for portrait photographers. The Quick Edit mode simplifies adjustments with seven sliders, while Full Control mode offers a customizable workspace for tailored workflows. Compared to Adobe Lightroom, it’s faster for local processing, and unlike Luminar Neo, it avoids generative AI, focusing on enhancing existing pixels.

Radiant Photo 2’s interface is intuitive but can feel cluttered on smaller screens, requiring some adjustment for new users. The AI’s automatic suggestions are generally accurate but may overcorrect in some cases, such as overly vibrant landscapes, necessitating manual tweaks. The software supports batch processing, making it efficient for editing multiple images, and its perpetual license model contrasts with subscription-based competitors.

Pricing is a one-time purchase, competitive with Luminar Neo’s similar model, though Adobe’s subscription-based tools may suit users in its ecosystem. Free updates are included, with optional paid upgrades in the future. The free trial allows full access to standalone and plugin modes, letting users test compatibility with their workflow.

Radiant Photo 2 is effective for photographers needing quick, high-quality edits with the option for detailed control. To maximize its potential, try the free trial on a larger screen, use Quick Edit for fast results, and customize workspaces for complex projects. Adjust AI settings manually if results feel too intense.
