# What is the difference between Luminar Neo and Aperty?
You may have already heard that Aperty is an innovative new photo editor set for release this fall, but you might be wondering how it differs from photo editor, Luminar Neo. Aperty is specifically designed with a focus on portrait photography, making it the perfect match for professional photographers too. It offers powerful batch editing capabilities, which are especially useful after a photoshoot with tons of photos to process. Our goal is to significantly reduce editing time by eliminating manual tasks and making it easy to apply corrections made to one photo across an entire batch.
**Editing workflow and features**
Aperty is tailored to the needs of professional portrait photographers and follows the natural progression of their editing process. The features include a variety of makeup tools, face contouring, tools for precise reshaping of face and body, as well as custom Portrait Presets that achieve high-quality results in just a few steps.
**Automated batch retouching**
You’ll be able to quickly copy and paste the adjustments, not limited to color correction but also including skin tone, makeup, and facial feature enhancements, from one photo to a whole session.
**New technologies**
Aperty is based on about 60% of completely new neural networks. Additionally, Aperty is equipped with a precise depth estimation map and a new 3D Face Mesh technology. Aperty introduces an advanced human segmentation for detecting people (as well as their gender, age) and facial features in photographs, which allows for more flexible and precise retouching.
