On the 1st of November 2017, they are launching their updated version of Luminar called Luminar 2018 which looks amazing. We have been using the Software for a while now and have found that it is one of the easiest photo editing/image enhancement apps available. In 2018 they will also be adding Asset Management to the app (simply put this means there will be a Browse module of sorts to manage your images in the application)
The Top 10 Features of Luminar 2018 are -
- Scalable, adaptive user interface with custom workspaces
- Raw file conversion & non-destructive editing
- Over 100 one-click presets
- Over 40 image enhancement filters
- Stackable layers with brushes and an advanced layer masking system
- History panel with multiple undo's and exportable history for resumable editing
- Real-time noise reduction
- Object removal and clone & stamp (available for Mac, coming soon to PC)
- Operates as a standalone or plug-in
- Complete digital asset manager with support for Lightroom catalogs (coming in 2018)
