New & Improved Features:
- NEW AI Sky Enhancer. The AI Sky Enhancer allows you to get beautiful skies almost instantly with artificial intelligence and a single slider. Luminar analyzes and detects the sky in an image to improve the texture, tone, and colors of the sky itself. The filter can recognize sky in most photos as well as distinguish between water and other elements in a photograph. It also detects the objects in the foreground and their edges for perfect masking.
- Note: if the controls are grayed out after applying the filter, the artificial intelligence couldn’t recognize the sky in the photo. Skies that are very out of focus or blurred may not be detected automatically. It may also be grayed out if the filter determines that the sky does not need enhancement. If you want to stylize the sky, explore filters such as Golden Hour, Polarizer, Vibrancy, and HSL.
- IMPROVED Luminosity Masks. Improved performance when opening up existing documents with Luminosity masks.
- IMPROVED TIFF Files. Increased stability exporting TIFF files with 8 bits per channel bit depth.
- IMPROVED Filters B&W Conversion, Bi-Color Toning, Photo Filter. The controls Luminance and Saturation are available when these filters are added a second time.
- IMPROVED Grain effect. All filters and Looks which include Grain effect work properly.
- IMPROVED Speed of sliders.
- IMPROVED Crop tool in Photos Extension.
- IMPROVED Crop Tool. Properly see a gridview while changing the angle of the image in Crop tool.
- CHANGED Sharing to Facebook and Twitter. Due to the recent changes in personal security with Facebook and Twitter, the ability to post directly to a social network from Luminar has been temporarily removed for users on MacOS Mojave
Bug fixes:
- Crash due to quick switching between presets
- Crash due to using the Crop tool in Photos Extension of Mojave Mac OS

@Dan - I have managed to reproduce the same bug on my Mac. I've already sent your thorough bug description to our technical department and they'll now try to reproduce the same issue with our QA team. We do really appreciate your cooperation! We'll now try to fix it as soon as we can, even though we're now working hard on Luminar with Libraries.

Just want to let you guys know the crash bugs are not fixed. I was just working on a 42 megapixel 250mb psd in Luminar with just 3 layers. On the 3rd layer I went to add an Adjustable Gradient. Went to adjust the position and Luminar froze, at 100% CPU usage. This happens all the time. However, most of the time, after 5-10 minutes of max CPU, it will come back to life and I can save my file. That didn't happen this time and I lost quite a lot of work because I had to force quit the app, as it sat at 100% cpu for 15 minutes without responding, and I couldn't wait anymore.
I tried reproducing it a second time, and it locked up exactly the same way. Then I thought ok, I'll write up steps and email it in as a bug report, but I was unable to reproduce it a 3rd time.
Again, on a brand new macbook pro with 32GB RAM. I feel that it is criminal you guys are charging for this product considering the potential for work destruction. I've wasted 2 hours combined on editing, losing work, and reporting this bug here. Please fix. No one is going to trust your DAM if the core app can lock up so easily on simple edits.
