Luminar 4 is the next generation of our all-in-one image editing and photo management software. Luminar 4 is designed to deliver professional results in less time and to help photographers unlock their best images.
Luminar 4 can be used in three different ways:
as a comprehensive photo library catalog to help organize and view your images
as an image editing plug-in for other photo editing tools from Adobe and Apple
as a standalone image editing application
Luminar 4 RAW processing is based on our own powerful RAW engine. We regularly update our library and make our own improvements to provide perfect support for new cameras. You can check the full list of supported cameras here.
Luminar 4 is meant to be used by a single person. We’ve discovered that two activations are enough for one person in most cases. For example, at home and at work, or on a desktop and a laptop computer.However, you can always reset your license counter in order to activate Luminar

We at Skylum firmly believe that each problem can be solved in a faster and simpler way. That is why we made innovation our number one priority. Our goal is to make something much bigger than just another photo editor. To bring unique solutions to the most challenging problems creative storytellers face.When we launched Luminar 3, we were thinking differently about the matter: we said that our goal was to develop a great Lightroom alternative. Therefore some people have purchased Luminar as a subscription-free alternative to Adobe products. We quickly understood that we’re not in love with that mission statement. Moreover, that idea to make a subscription-free Lr alternative has no value for most artists around the world. The world doesn’t need a cheap Lightroom clone (there are already several companies who make those).There are many photo editing tools out there that look the same, offer the same features (including IPTC & EXIF), and create the same problems. Traditional photo editors take a lot of time, with several manual and repetitive tasks.For several years we’ve been analyzing the market, in-app analytics, and the interviews with our artists, and we see that people prefer our state-of-the-art editing tools. They like features that bring new creative value and speed up their workflow. This involves not only creating cutting-edge AI-powered tools but revolutionizing the traditional editing workflow as such. This is what we’re focused on right now.We’d like to bring the same philosophy to the organization of photos as well. Skylum wants to make library enhancements as efficient as possible and do it in a ground-breaking way. Therefore, currently, we’re researching the ways to make these traditional features work smarter.Meantime, we want customers to get Luminar not for the things that already exist in other editors, but for something that others don’t have to offer. Our goal with Luminar 4 was to make photo editing easier by using enhanced tools. Luminar 4 offers great value for customers who use it daily without IPTC or EXIF. It is well worth the money for the simplicity and innovation it brings.
