Add Reset / Undo options for Clone / Erase tools
Answered
Hi,
I am using Luminar 3.1.2 in Win 10. Following usability issues need attention
1. There is no option to Undo changes made under both Clone and Stamp tool or Erase tool.
2. There is no option to fully Reset / Clear all changes under Close and Stamp tool.
3. Also, there is no way to exit both these tools but to Click the Done button. Please provide an option to simply cancel the changes and exit without Done.
Can you please add these enhancements in the upcoming release.
Thanks.

I'm curious. When you say there is no Undo for clone and stamp and erase, are you referring to while you are using the tool, or after you've finished with the tool and clicked Done? If the former, while I agree that an incremental step back would be a nice feature to have, the Erase tool has the Reset option, which at least lets you start over. For both tools, since the changes are added to new layers, you can always simply delete the layer and start over. These aren't perfect solutions, but they do get the job done until Skylum adds additional features to the tools.

I absolutely agree with Sandip.
The Luminar Tools needs serious refinements. Even though quite slow and occasionally unresponsive, the clone and erase tools give absolutely wonderful results but lack of "undo" button to at least undo last action that did not look good and lack of "cancel" button to exit the tool without applying the changes, is serious issue.
For example if you erase a couple od spots and one of them does not render acceptably, there is nothing you can do to cancel that bad stroke. Even worse, you have no other option but to click "Done" to apply changes and then go back to delete adjustment layer to remove ALL corrections because of the one that was bad (or use history panel) and then go back to Tools and start from scratch. A single poor rendering can cost you multiple attempts and a lot of time without ability to undo action.So we really, really need
1. Capability to undo action within the tool (Undo button)
2. Cancel button to exit the tool without applying any changes -
In Luminar 4 these options are still not available (in Windows), i.e., ability to UNDO a clone action while using the tool. The Ctl+Z option is not active. I've seen workarounds for using the tool which are quite cumbersome (stepping back in History!). Without this undo ability it makes an otherwise powerful clone/stamp tool less than ideal.

I vote for the UNDO option or at least a CANCEL button to exit the ERASE/CLONE window without making changes. I use "come back" in the history to a previous point, but my catalog folder is increasing its size enormously, due to many incorrect ERASE or CLONE actions. Please, it is no so difficult and can save a lot of time and disk space.

I am new to Luminar 4. I am finding the Clone to be quite cumbersome to use. I can't find a way to reset the starting point or add multiple clone items. There is no cancel or undo. Although Luminar 4 is a wonderful tool I find that this function or feature is much better in Lightroom. One of the things I like is the ability to see the change immediately and being able to update or correct it before clicking done.

I'd like to add my support for these requests for step by step undo / reset functionality and a quit / cancel option to be added to these edit operations.
I find it difficult to understand how such basic requirements were not included in the first draft of the software specification and how they have remained absent for so long.

Agreed! No UNDO in the clone/stamp tool? Who on earth creates this software? Have they ever edited a photo before? In Luminar 4 I found myself staring at the screen for a couple of minutes in total disbelief. I had worked on a photo for a while and overshot my last clone/stamp. I looked for UNDO or ctrl-Z to correct just the last clone/stamp edit only to find I would have to do EVERYTHING over again! Seriously? And this is supposed to be top-notch photo editing software? This basic feature is available in every free app available on the Internet. Yet another reason I have such a strong love/hate relationship with Luminar software. Sheesh...

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your honest opinion. It helps us to see what can be improved.
Our team is already working on implementing this option in one of the future updates so please stay tuned!

Is there any update on this feature? I started this thread a year back and so many others have requested the same. I worked hard on an image today for 20 mins and all that effort was lost with one error step, as there was no Undo option. I had to cancel the entire effort and restart.. this is really getting annoying.
When is this elusive "Next Release" coming that is promised for over a year now ???
