Let's not mention any names, but there are already programs out there L that promise to leverage the power of Al to transform your images into masterpieces but with the emphasis firmly on 'reality enhancement' rather than image quality.
Radiant Photo is rather different. It doesn't attempt to change what you're looking at but instead optimises the colours and tones on a pixel-by-pixel basis to recreate scenes as our eyes see them.
Human vision isn't like a camera. Our eyes and brains use their own HDR, sharpening, and colour corrections, which cameras don't have. It might be going too far to say Radiant Photo tries to recreate what our eyes 'see', but it's not far off.
It doesn't seek to replace your existing photo editing software but works alongside it. It comes in a standalone version, as a Lightroom Classic and Photoshop plug-in version, and as a bundle which includes both. You could use it as a finishing adjustment once you've carried out other work or, as Radiant Photo would suggest, as a starting point before you do anything else.
For example, you might use it with Lightroom as a plug-in or Capture One (say) as an external editor for optimising images after you've carried out basic raw processing and before any further edits.
