I've been testing a pre-release version of Luminar, both as a standalone app and as an Editing Extension for Photos for macOS. And after improving countless images, I can tell you that I really like this software. I've already integrated it into my photography workflow.
And now you can secure a copy for yourself. If you pre-order before Nov. 17th, you'll receive Luminar at a discounted price, plus two bonuses, all for only $49 total (existing Macphun customers) or for $59 (new customers). The package and bonuses include:
- Save over 70 percent on the bundle
- Full version of Luminar for Mac - the new supercharged all-in-one photo editor
- Multiple license valid for 5 Macs
- Build a Profitable Photo Business E-book
- Premium WildlifePhoto.com membership
- Video training by Matt Granger
You will get all the bonuses in the email right after you place the order. You will get Luminar software on November 17th, when it becomes available.
What I like most about this software is how it makes advanced editing easy (and fun). If you've shied away from layers and masking because they were difficult and complicated, Luminar will change your mind about these tools. Plus its built-in presets, adjustment sliders, and localized editing brushes are not only understandable, but enjoyable. And all of these capabilities work as an Editing Extension for Photos for macOS, and as a plugin for Lightroom and Aperture (yes, Aperture too).
Here are a few of Luminar's highlight features:
- Adaptive User Interface - you can shape it to your tastes
- Multiple Modes: From basic to advanced
- One-click switch between modes
- Change modes anytime
- All-in-one photo editing tool set
- Includes essential editing tools for different photography styles
- Live editing, live processing, live previews
- Non-destructive editing
- Works as a standalone app, plug-in, and editing extension
- RAW converter and processor
- History Panel
