There are, though, a few quirks in the UI. There’s also a history button which displays all of your edits so you can easily restore your photo to an earlier state if you go astray in your edits. We love the before/after slider which divides your image in half so you can easily compare your edits against the original file. The Luminar interface is very clean and intuitive.

You can also customize and save your own workspaces, too.

Choose the “professional” workspace and just about all the tools will appear.
DXO PHOTOLAB PRESET D500 SOFTWARE
While many software programs have customizable tool sets, Luminar has a slightly different take with its “workspaces.” You can select from one of eight workspaces customized for a given type of photography, such as black-and-white, aerial, portrait and landscape, and each contains a curated selection of editing tools that appear on the right rail. It can be used as a standalone editor or as a plugin for Lightroom or Photoshop.Ī before/after slider window lets you preview your edits against the original file. There are new camera profiles, including portrait, standard, landscape, Adobe standard, vivid and more.īeyond the new tools, Luminar supports layered editing and is packed with plenty of presets for one-click fixes and photo effects. The software now supports automatic lens distortion corrections and an improved RAW image conversion engine, the ability to purge chromatic aberration and cleaner gradients. Windows users can see up to a 5x jump while Mac owners get a 12x boost, according to Skylum.
DXO PHOTOLAB PRESET D500 UPDATE
Luminar is available for both Mac and Windows PCs and its most recent update promises speed improvements across both platforms. They’ve built a program that can be tailored to several photographic styles or, if you prefer, none at all. With Luminar, Skylum (formerly Macphun), hasn’t created an image editor and RAW processor purpose-built for a single photographic discipline, but they’ve done the next best thing. That’s particularly true of RAW processing software. Anyone with more than a passing interest in photography knows that it’s a multifarious discipline and yet, so many of its tools are general purpose.
