Please add color management (after 1.2)
I hoped it was corrected in the new version, but it is not.
Images shown in the monitor by luminar look completely different in colors than images in LR, PS or other color profile aware software.
It seems that it does not color management and completely ignores image color profile and/or monitor profile.
Please, correct it and implement full color management (color proofing is desirable too).
An image editor is useless without it.
You edit the photo in luminar and see it too saturated and vivid, adjust it with the filter and when you save it and return to LR it is completely faded out (the same if you print it).

Hi Chris!
Interesting work around, but not for many reasons.
Here is 1 that sticks out.
Let's take one of the best features of the Skylum tech (Photolemur / Luminar).
AISo you click Accent AI.
The image you are now looking at through your monitor is not what the AI processing intends you to see. It is garble of colour far from what any reference image the machine learning intended to create. You can follow the steps you have suggested, assign your profiles, but the image will still look like rubbish & not as Skylum/AI processing intended.
The work around you have suggested is not a work around in any useful sense for high volume image processing.
Cheers, T

Hi Tim!
My only claim here is that the workaround will make your image look like it did while you were editing in Luminar. That's it!
Personally - I don't really care what the "Skylum/AI processing intended." I just care about what I'm seeing - that's where I decide what's "rubbish" and what's not.
Also - I never claimed the workaround would be practical for high volumes, but it is possible to set up batch processing in Photoshop if you really wanted to.
-
@Chris, that assumes two things. First that you have PS at your disposal and second that Luminar does anything worthwhile to your images that you can't do in PS. The first is a given for all subscribers of the photographers bundle but the second IMHO is no longer viable. I haven't even bothered to install the Luminar plugin anymore after I got the recent PS update.

Can somebody from the Skylum Team please inform us about color management ( implementation of the monitor profile) in the Luminar 3.0 Version for Windows ?
Would be very important for me as it is very complicatet to work with Luminar seeing fake oversaturated and underexposed colors on my wide gamut screen.
I will not believe you did not set the implementation of a basic feature like this on your to do list and i really wanna keep my Luminar as it is super fun to work with.
thanks

Hi Skylum Team,
I've just bought Luminar to find out this major flow in otherwise very promising piece of editing software. This should be a priority issue for the team to be addressed asap if Luminar is meant to be more then advanced editor for selfies before posting on FB :) I am really disappointed at the moment as I was really excited about getting and using it as it seems it has potential to speed up parts of the workflow providing similar results or even replacing some subscription tools in photographers inventory.... unfortunately not yet ... even with incoming libraries. Any chance for a rough ETA on CM in Luminar ? I think we're talking couple months I and many others could wait knowing this is being addressed and worked hard as we speak if this is TBA at some point no one knows when but the team is "aware of the issue" I rather go return/refund route.
Many thanks
Chris

We are at luminar 1.3 and waiting still for 1.4 or whatever that will come in december.
Then there will be luminar 2 or luminar 2019 some time in 2019....
So I won't expect luminar 3 until 2020 at best.
Too much wait for me to get a developer with correct color management.
I will se if sometime in the future when there is a Luminar 3 or 4 it fullfils my expectations as developer and asset manager.
Now it does not keep up to the most basic ones, even it has a promising interface and some interesting filters.
But I cannot migrate from Luminar to a system that does not provide the most basic funcionality, nor recomend it to anybody.
-
ah, OK.
What a mess of version numbering, I have 1.2 installed, 2018 then 2019 jumps to v3?
So is the Luminar we are expecting for 18 december and that will be offered for free to those of us who purchased 2018.That would be great news for me.
I did not expect softproofing yet, although it would be greatly wellcome.
But we were waiting for a correct colo management long, so it would be great if next version incorporates it.
If it has a decent asset manager which lets you brows and clasify images with ease, it will be a huge step.
-
Don't be frustrated. The whole thing barely works, the color management is the least of the worries for Skylum here. Just tested the new version & is pretty much unusable.
Was hoping for this to be a Lightroom alternative but has a very long way to go to being close to that.
Here's hoping that Skylum can get some more good coders on the team to fix this stuff up
-
@Timothy, the problem with good coders is that usually they toss all the code and the errant concepts - at least if they know their business. So they will have no chance at Skylum because errant concepts (see the 60% RAW filter application - I still don't know what a white balance correction to 5500K should be when applied at 60%) are their trademark...

FWIW, this workaround solved it for me: https://community.skylum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360037391372-Color-problem-solved-in-Windows
You need to make sure that Windows is using the default "sRGB IEC61966-2.1" device profile. When I use my monitor profile, the colors are off in Luminar exports.
