From basic to advanced

Luminar is designed to be used by those who just want it for basic editing all they way up to the most advanced user and everyone in between. For those looking to go beyond what Photos for the Mac can do for you and let you grow into more advanced editing techniques all within one program.

With a few clicks you can switch from the basic mode to a more advanced mode.

Pre-order Luminar

In the basic or advanced views you can quickly see how the edits you have done affect your photo with the split view that shows your original and the your photo with your Luminar adjustments so you can quickly compare the results.

When you start getting into the advanced options such as filters and you are not sure what they will do to your photo. Now there are built in examples that you can see for each filter type.

Not sure what the Polarizing Filter does, expand the window to see a description and example images of the filter in use

 

Now sure where to start, no problem, you have a wide variety of presets to choose from. You can either stick with the changes that the preset gave you or you can expand upon those changes by choosing a preset and then making your own additional adjustments. If you like the adjustments you made and think you will use them on future photos, you can even save the settings as your own custom preset.

Presets show at the bottom and the various preset types you can choose to help narrow down you choices

 

My thoughts

I see Luminar being used by the casual user who just needs access to a few more photo editing options than those offered by  the basic programs that come with your computer up to those who want more advanced editing features but do not want to pay the higher price of other editors.

With the ease of use and the built-in examples, I can see those who started out using the basics editing functions quickly moving into using the advanced features of Luminar.

 

Luminar is a great starting point for the Macphun series of photo editors. Start with Luminar and as you are looking for more advanced editing features you can move up to Creative Kit which gives you more controls over the specific functions of each app that is part of the Creative Kit. Or if you have decided to venture into HDR, you can add Aurora HDR 2017 the best HDR editor out there.
