Natural Photos Made Easy

The core goal of Radiant Photo 2.1 is simple—deliver natural-looking results faster. Instead of generating fake skies or adding digital effects, the software focuses on maximizing the pixels you actually captured. Its assistive AI enhances exposure, color, and tone in a way that feels realistic and true to life.

This philosophy is what Radiant calls “pixel integrity”—helping users bring out the best in their photos without altering their authenticity.

Smarter Tools, Smoother Experience

Among the highlights of Radiant 2.1 is its new Zone-Based Black & White tool, which allows users to convert images to monochrome with impressive control. Unlike traditional B&W tools limited to a few color targets, Radiant uses a zone-based system with featherable ranges. This means smoother transitions, halo-free edges, and a natural artistic look.

There’s even a Partial Color option, allowing one or more hues to remain for creative effects—perfect for adding subtle drama or emotion to an image.

Bring Your Own Style

Another exciting addition is the ability to import third-party LUTs directly into the “My Looks” panel. Whether you’re going for a cinematic film look, vintage tone, or modern neon vibe, Radiant Photo 2.1 supports common LUT formats like .cube.

Users can now apply, compare, and adjust creative grades quickly using keyboard shortcuts—making editing both faster and more personal.

New Features at a Glance

Radiant Photo 2.1 isn’t just a minor upgrade—it’s a quality overhaul with over 80 performance and polish improvements. Here are some of the standout features:

• Zone-Based Black & White tool with partial color control
• Custom LUT support for personalized looks and film styles
• Top-Bar “Uber” Sliders for one-move fine-tuning of tone and color
• EXIF Viewer for quick access to camera details like aperture, ISO, and shutter speed
• Smarter Noise Reduction that automatically detects and applies the best settings
• Keyboard Navigation and Crop Shortcuts for more efficient editing
• Non-destructive continuity, including “Open Recent” and “Reopen Last Session” options
• Apple Photos and Lightroom integration, now faster and smoother than ever

Faster, Friendlier, and More Efficient

The update focuses on performance and accessibility. Radiant 2.1’s new Develop and Color Grade sliders allow for precise adjustments with just a single move. Whether you’re brightening a portrait or adding color depth to a landscape, these global controls make fine-tuning easier and more intuitive.

Meanwhile, the noise reduction system has been enhanced with a “Detailed Scan” mode that intelligently selects the best method for each photo—ensuring clarity without over-smoothing textures.

And for those who value workflow continuity, Radiant now remembers your last session and recently opened files, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.

Plug-Ins and Compatibility

Radiant Photo 2.1 continues to play well with other software, offering seamless integration with Apple Photos, Lightroom, and Photoshop. The Apple Photos workflow now includes a simple round-trip editing process that keeps originals safe while giving users the option to revert anytime.

The Lightroom plug-in is also faster to load and can now “keep running,” allowing multiple edits without relaunching. A new headless batch export option helps photographers process large sets efficiently.

Fresh Looks for Every Style

Radiant’s Marketplace is also expanding, introducing new creative packs that cater to diverse editing needs.

Newborn & Baby Collection – tuned for soft, delicate tones and natural skin textures.

Neo Tokyo Tones – urban-inspired looks perfect for cityscapes, neon nights, and street photography.

Each pack is fully compatible with Radiant’s new workflow system, offering easy scene detection and seamless integration.

Built on Ethics and Authenticity

Radiant Photo remains firm on its ethical stance: it enhances real images, not artificial creations. The brand emphasizes assistive, not generative AI, maintaining the authenticity of every photo.

All enhancements happen on-device, ensuring privacy and quick processing without sending data to the cloud.

For Creators Who Value Craft

Radiant Photo 2.1 isn’t about overwhelming users with more sliders or filters—it’s about refining the craft of photo editing. With its intelligent detection, clean user interface, and tasteful presets, the software helps creators move faster while staying true to their artistic vision.

Whether you’re a professional photographer perfecting your final shots or a hobbyist fine-tuning vacation memories, Radiant Photo 2.1 delivers clarity, color, and creativity—all with ease and trust.

Radiant Photo 2.1 is expected to roll out soon through the Radiant Manager app, with ongoing updates and community support available at Radiant’s official channels.

Because when it comes to editing photos, natural never goes out of style—and with Radiant Photo 2.1, it just got a lot easier to achieve.
