New Luminar 4.1.1 update: better performance for editing sessions and support for the Dutch language.
Answered
Hello, Luminar fans -
Recently we released an update to Luminar 4. This update was to bring better performance for editing sessions and add support for the Dutch language.
What’s new?
While Dutch localization has been well-received, our performance updates have introduced some extra issues that we need to spend more time resolving. You can be sure we’ll keep working on increasing editing speed so please stay tuned!
In the meantime, the next update you receive will retain the Dutch language support and fix a few more bugs, while removing the performance issues our QA team found. Please install it at your earliest opportunity.
Also, we have added one more thing for your convenience. It is an “Analytics” option where you can disable sharing data. To apply it, simply choose the Luminar 4 menu > Preferences > Analytics > Off.
How to Update
Updating your Luminar software is easy. Be sure also to rerun the plugin installer if using Luminar as a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, or Photoshop Elements.
- Mac – Please, launch Luminar 4, then in the Top Menu Bar, choose Luminar 4 > Check for updates.
- Windows – Please, launch Luminar 4, then in the Top Menu Bar, choose Help > Check for updates.
We appreciate your support and happy shooting!

If you look at the goals for luminar 3 on your website, the performance improvement has already been accomplished and it still is slow as a snail. So, if this is what your customers have to anticipate with the upcoming updates to Luminar 4, that is just a huge joke!
Do you guys even look at the alternatives? Lightroom, C1, On1, Exposure X5 and even the free software like Darktable crush Luminar in terms of speed by a long shot!
In Exposure X5, I can adjust exposure on 20 different images simultaniously in real time, maybe with a stutter of one to two seconds. In Luminar it takes more than five times that to only load one image...
Even Lightroom 5 is faster to use...

We appreciate you taking time to bring performance issues up to our attention. Our team is currently working on brand new 4.2.0 update. We hope that performance speed is going to be much better there. There is no ETA, but the update should be released during next few weeks. For sure even more cool features and improvements are yet to come. Please, stay tuned and bear with us!
