Workspaces are an innovative way of working with your photos. By using one of our built-in workspaces (or creating your own) Luminar can quickly adapt to the photo editing tasks at hand. By tailoring which Filters are visible, you can speed up editing tasks with a guided workflow.

Each workspace is a customized group of filters. With the pre- built workspaces these have been selected for specific types of photos. You’ll find that using Luminar’s purpose-built workspaces offer uniquely tailored tools which achieve great results quickly.  

Switching between workspaces is easy, just click the Workspace drop-down menu at the top of the Filters controls. You’ll find six preset workspaces to make things easier

Once you’re familiar with Luminar, you may find that there are certain filters you prefer working with. You can easily adapt a workspace to match just your needs.

1. To start, click the Workspaces drop-down menu and choose Clear.

2. Click the Add Filter button to browse all available Filters. You can scroll through the list or click on a category to narrow your search.

3. Continue adding Filters to the workspace that you’d like to use.

4. When satisfied, click the Workspace pop-up menu and choose Save As New Workspace....

5. A dialog will pop-up at the top of the window asking you to name your workspace. Give it a descriptive name to help you remember which situations to use the workspace.

If you ever need to modify a workspace, that’s easy too. Just choose File > Show Workspaces Folder.

If you’ve created a custom workspace that you want to use most often (or like a built-in workspace),you can easily set it as the new default.

1. Choose a workspace that you’ve created or one of the built-in presets.

2. Click the Workspace pop-up menu and choose Set as Default. The next image you open (and all after that) will use this new workspace.

3. Use the new default Workspace to quickly improve your images using your favorite filters.
