We’re proud to present the first update to LuminarAI. Thanks to your feedback and support, our team has delivered a more refined version of LuminarAI. In this update, we’ve focused on simplifying the edit flow while fixing the most urgent bugs. Let’s dive in!

What’s new?

A more convenient Edit panel

In Luminar AI 1.0.1, you’ll find a simpler, more accessible Edit panel which displays all Edit tools in a single list. Essential, Creative, Portrait, and Pro tools are now color-coded for easy identification, but you no longer need to switch between tabs to access them. You now have all the tools you need at your fingertips!

EnhanceAI by default

The EnhanceAI tool is now first in the Edit tools list and opens by default when you access the Edit panel. It’s now even easier to improve a photo with just one EnhanceAI slider.

Simpler Template selection

Now, when working in For This Photo, use the left and right arrows to scroll through the smart Templates which LuminarAI selected to get the most out of your photo.

Redesigned Toning tool

The Toning tool now has Shadows and Highlights buttons to match the design of other LuminarAI tools.
