We tried a beta version, which is every bit as easy to use as MacPhun says – in fact, it’s very reminiscent of the company’s existing Creative Kit apps like Intensify and Tonality. Its adjustments are non-destructive, so you can go back and change them at any time – it will also have a History feature. Luminar will work with directly with raw files and its masking tools will include an adjustable adjustment brush, radial and gradient masks. MacPhun wants the software to cater for all user levels, from novice to expert. You’ll be able to create your own workspaces and even share them with other photographers. Luminar also offers ‘workspaces’ for different photographic genres like portrait photography, landscapes, street photography and black and white. Luminar will come with over 35 filters such as Tone & Exposure, Bi-Color, Photo Filter Emulation, Cross-Processing, Detail Enhancement and more, and these can be combined using layers, masks and blend modes to create any number of different effects. Later on, you can start experimenting with your own filter effects and combinations and creating your own presets. While you’re still learning, you can use the existing presets and maybe make some minor tweaks to the individual filters they use. Luminar will come with more than 50 preset effects, and these are built from over 35 different filters.

It’ll work as a standalone program or as a plug-in and follows a now-familiar format – a large selection of preset ‘one-click’ effects backed up by manual filter adjustment settings, so you can modify the existing presets or add your own. You capture the moments, Macphun products help you to unveil the real beauty of an image.ĭisclaimer: Macphun is a paid partner of dPS.MacPhun Luminar is, according to its maker, a fully-functioning photo-editing tool.
