But it is still in beta.Īt the moment, I have found it great with sunsets but I’m still indecisive as to ordinary photographs, personally I think NIK Color Efex does a better job.ĭisclaimer: I’m not being paid to write this, nor am I getting free software, or anything like that. First of all the program is not complete and Macphun have a long way to go before the Windows version will equal the power of the Mac one. It’s far too early to draw a conclusion as to whether or not I would incorporate Luminar into my workflow.

However it is early days, so I might change my mind.Īnyway, here’s a few photographs that I processed using Luminar Photographs taken during the day didn’t seem to gain much advantage using Luminar. Maybe it’s me, but during my first day of trialling Luminar I started gravitating to trying it out with sunsets, I seemed to be having better success with those. This one was developed using some of the filters from Luminar It’s quite good for any photograph that features a sunset.īut you can also use filters to affect certain elements of a photograph, such as sharpness, colour, foreground, All in all there are about 65 filters you can use to affect your photograph In the photograph above I have selected a preset called Artistic Copper Strong. The first thing I noticed, there are quite a few ready-made presets, one click looks, that could fit a variety of purposes. So the first thing to note, this is still a beta version, it’s nowhere as feature rich as the Mac version, but I can still get a flavour of how the software works. Luminar adapts to your photo style to make complex photo editing easy and joyful. Make photos beautiful in seconds with 1 slider. As Macphun say įaster, even more powerful and now featuring Accent, the world’s first AI-powered photo filter.

Luminar is already a well established piece of software for the Mac, so it will be interesting to see how it shapes up in Windows. I thought, why not? Especially as one of my favourite plugins NIK Color Efex is no longer supported by Google. I’m always willing to try new software and when Macphun anounced a beta version for Windows of their popular program for Mac called Luminar.
