Skylum designed Luminar with a scalable, adaptive user interface… one that’s responsive and beautiful. In it, you’ll find a powerful set of tools which are easy to use. We believe it can help all photographers from professionals to new photographers.

New photographers and mobile shooters will appreciate a simple approach using one-click Luminar Looks and universal tools like cropping, noise reduction, and image healing.
Casual photographers may start with those same Luminar Looks, but will soon “graduate” to using Luminar’s purpose-built workspaces that offer uniquely tailored tools which achieve great results quickly.
For passionate enthusiasts and professionals, workspaces and the full gamut of editing tools such as brushes, layers, blending modes, texture overlays, an editing history menu and much more herald a new generation of advanced photo editing possibilities.
