Remember, a Luminar Look is merely a starting point. Different photographers will desire different Luminar Looks. Plus a Luminar Look may work great on some photos, but need a little tweaking for others. Once you select a Luminar Look, you have the ability in the Side Panel to use Filter controls to modify that Luminar Look to fit your specific image needs.
As you adjust Luminar Looks or build your own recipes from scratch, you may find a particular combination that you like. Custom Luminar Looks can function as the jumping off point for your own look and style. A Luminar Look can store a lot of control in an easy, one-click effect.
There are additional features for user Luminar Looks that are not available for the built-in Luminar Looks. You must be viewing All Luminar Looks or the User Luminar Looks category to see these options.
To access this menu for a User Luminar Look, click the small triangle next to a Luminar Looks name while hovering over the Luminar Look’s thumbnail image.
Any Luminar Looks you make can be shared with other users, manually backed up to a new location, or copied to a new computer. You can freely export your own Luminar Looks and import another person’s Luminar Looks into your application.

Occasionally Skylum or other professional photographers will release a collection of Luminar Looks, called “Packs”. When you import a Custom Luminar Look Pack, it will create a new Category in the Luminar Looks category window, and display any associated Luminar Looks therein.
To add a Custom Luminar Look Collection, select the menu item File > Add Luminar Looks Collection... An open dialog will be displayed, allowing you to choose the Collection you wish to add.
You can also get more Luminar Looks from the Luminar Looks Collection panel Just click the Get More Luminar Looks… button.
