Radiant Imaging Labs announces Radiant Photo 2 editing software

Radiant Imaging Labs released Radiant Photo 2, the latest evolution in photo editing software. Packed with smart features, advanced tools and powerful workflows, Radiant Photo 2 takes creativity and efficiency to the next level, making professional-quality results accessible to everyone.

“Photographers deserve tools that don’t just meet standards—they raise them,” said Elia Locardi, CEO of Radiant Imaging Labs and professional photographer. “Radiant Photo 2 is designed to do exactly that. By intuitively understanding each photo—its lighting, subject, and background—it delivers results that are both precise and effortless. It’s more than editing software; it’s a tool built to empower photographers and creators to achieve their best work without compromise.”

Radiant Photo’s interface is designed to simplify and enhance the editing process, providing photographers with a streamlined and efficient workflow, the company said. Radiant Photo 2 uses Artificial Intelligence (AI), but not Generative AI.

Key Highlights of Radiant Photo 2

• The software automatically detects the type of scene—landscape, portrait or otherwise—and adjusts the image accordingly, directly after loading the image in Radiant Photo. For each scene it recognises, Radiant Photo 2 offers a unique selection of Develop Settings for different editing styles. Users can then delve deeper into this first editing step, using the professional editing tools and creative color grading tools to achieve the perfect image look.
• Radiant Photo 2 differentiates itself with optional workflows tailored to specific photography genres. The first four new workflows, portraiture, landscapes, pets, and birds, will be published with the release of Radiant Photo 2.
• Portraiture Workflow: Includes 10-point skin tone detection, intelligent color-cast correction, and dedicated scenes for studio, environmental, group and outdoor portraits.
• Landscape Workflow: Optimized tools for all landscape and cityscape scenes including waterfalls, mountains or golden- and blue-hour lighting conditions.
• Bird Workflow: The world’s first intelligent editing workflow dedicated to bird photography, with 94 intelligent scenes, recognizing different types of birds from hummingbirds to birds of prey, and perfectly adjusting each image.
• Pet Workflow: Designed for photography of all types of pets, making it fast and easy to perfect photos of dogs, cats, horses, and more.

Each specialized workflow is extensively trained to recognize a variety of scenes, enabling more precise photo development based on the subject in the image.

Workflows include specific color correction and film emulation looks. Radiant Photo 2 combines speed with quality, using intelligent scene recognition to deliver precise edits quickly and effortlessly.

Radiant Photo 2 introduces new portrait tools, including Face Light, a feature designed to naturally lighten faces. It mimics the effect of a professional softbox on set, enhancing portraits with soft, even lighting while maintaining a natural look and depth. Whether you’re shooting professional headshots or casual portraits, Face Light ensures your subjects always look their best.

Radiant Photo now includes sidecar file functionality, ensuring users never lose their creative adjustments. The software automatically saves all editing settings in a lightweight, XML-based sidecar file alongside the image. This allows users to reopen their photos in Radiant Photo at any time and continue editing exactly where they left off.
