Radiant Photo
Local AI photo editor with scene-aware corrections and no cloud.
About
Radiant Photo is a desktop photo editor for Windows and macOS that takes an assistive rather than generative approach to AI. Open a RAW or JPEG and the software reads the subject, lighting, and background before suggesting exposure, color, and detail corrections, while leaving the original pixels intact through a non-destructive workflow with sidecar files. It explicitly avoids generative AI: nothing is invented, only corrected.
Everything runs on the local machine with no cloud uploads, which the vendor positions as a privacy advantage, and genre-specific Workflow modules tune presets for landscape, portrait, bird, and pet photography. It works standalone or as a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Corel PaintShop Pro. A 30-day trial runs the full app without payment details; a free mobile edition covers basics while desktop PRO is paid. Reviewers praise speed and natural results but note thinner RAW support and fewer advanced tools than Luminar Neo.
