Our mission is to make your photo editing experience seamless so you can create stunning shots with less effort. You’ve enjoyed it in Luminar 3 — and now Luminar 4 is raising the bar.

We know how important the interface is for fast results. So we’ve done lots of research and interviewed hundreds of photographers to find out what you actually need for your workflow?. All these efforts have resulted in the updated UI in Luminar 4. Let’s walk you through the updates. 

Same workflow

Before we begin, rest assured that your workflow in Libraries won’t be changing. Even though the interface is different, you’ll still be able to browse your photos the way you’re used to. Phew, what a relief.

What’s new?

No more Workspaces. Remember how you needed to add filters to different Workspaces for each kind of photo? The Workspace days are over. Now you can get right to the editing process: simply select the tab with the filter you need.

In Luminar 3, all filters were displayed separately. In Luminar 4, they’re neatly grouped in tabs according to the level of editing and purpose: Essentials, Creative, Portrait, and Pro. Focus on the filters you’re working with and don’t get distracted by all the others. For example, now you can access Sharpness in the Detail Enhancer tab. And one of the most popular filters, Raw Develop, is now called Light. You can find it in Essentials.

You can now access them right from the settings of the filter you’re working with. More sophisticated tools are collapsed in the Advanced tab so they don’t get in your way when you don’t need them. For instance, hit Advanced in the Light filter to access Curves.
