Luminar Photo Editor for Mac now available for pre-order

Luminar, image-software company Macphun’s first all-in-one photo editor, is now available for pre-order at macphun.com/luminar.

Pitched as an alternative to programs like Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop, Luminar introduces a new 'personal darkroom' approach to photo editing, and aims to address the varied needs and skill level of photographers, through a user experience which adapts to the capabilities and knowledge of the user.

Key features

Filters
Over 35 custom filters are available, with each filter being fully adjustable and offering a set of precise & easy to use controls.

Adaptive user interface
Users can choose between four different interface modes with just one click, varying from basic to advanced.

Workspaces
Workspaces are sets of different filters featuring only the tools a user most wants in their workflow.

One-click presets
Users can choose from over 50 built-in presets grouped by photography style.

Powerful selective masking tools and blend modes
Wide selection of easy-to-use masking tools for selective image editing, including an adjustable editing brush, radial mask, gradient mask and luminosity masking. Masks can be applied to layers in the traditional sense or, in a breakthrough innovation can be applied by individual filter. This makes for a never-seen-before and completely natural editing experience. Blend modes by layer and filter provide even more creative flexibility.

More features for “all-in-one” versatility:
• RAW file support
• Noise reduction
• Object removal
• History panel

Pricing starts at $49 for existing Macphun users and $59 for new users. Every pre-order will receive a bonus pack of training videos produced by Sydney-based portrait photographer Matt Granger.

Luminar is available for pre-order now until November 17 at macphun.com/luminar.
