New Luminar 3.1.3 update: features and improvements

Here we present the features and improvements which were implemented in the update 3.1.3 on Windows.

 
Lost Edits Album. No more frustration over unsaved changes. With the latest version of Luminar, your hard editing work won’t go to waste even if you can’t find your edited photos in the folder you expected. If under creative impulses you rename, move, or change a processed image, simply go to the Lost Edits Album in Shortcuts and locate it there.
 
Fixed crash issues. Our developers have resolved system crashes so you can enjoy an even smoother experience when browsing through the Gallery, editing, and exporting images.
 
Сan’t find a catalog? Create a new one or choose an existing one. If you can’t find the catalog you’re trying to access, don’t let it interfere with your workflow. In case the catalog you are looking for has been deleted, choose Create New Catalog and start editing. And if the catalog you’d like to work with has been renamed or moved to another folder, just hit Choose a Different Catalog.
 
Faster scrolling in Gallery and Stripe. For this update, we focused on performance improvements. This has resulted in faster and smoother Gallery and Stripe scrolling. Spin the mouse wheel and enjoy a seamless scroll.  
 
Added hotkeys. Working with Luminar on your PC has become faster and more convenient. Now you can access the same hotkeys whether you work on Mac or Windows.
 
New splash screen by Jeffrey Moreau. In the latest version, when you launch Luminar you get to enjoy stunning images by Jeffrey Moreau, an avid Luminar user and the winner of the Luminar Featured Artist contest.

    Same question here: When can we get the update? And how can we get it? Auto Update doesn´t work and offline installer link is a secret

    Update läuft ohne Fehler durch, und startet wieder mit der alten Version. Wieder update möglich aber dann mit reparieren Option, auch ohne Ergebnis, also wieder die alte Version.

    Windows 10 64

    Update runs without errors, and starts again with the old version. Update again possible but then repair option, even without result, so back to the old version.

    Sure glad to know that I'm not the only one having installation problems!  Frustrating that Skylum doesn't test things better before releasing programs and updates.

    I had hoped that things would get better now - but unfortunately a disappointment again.
    Enclosed 2 pictures
    - Request for update
    - Start with old version number

    Here is a link to the offline installer:

    https://downloads.skylum.com/luminar/win/Luminar3_Setup_offline.exe?_ga=2.174213474.1109350531.1565792249-1030485093.1565792249

    This resolved the update issue for me.

    (It's also now documented in the FAQ:  https://skylum.com/luminar-faq )

    Bonjour à tous,

     

    Je rencontre le même problème avec la mise à jour proposée par Luminar.

    Je vais tester ce nouveau lien pour tenter de l'installer hors ligne.

     

    A+

    Same here; installer works.

    Why not doing it right from the beginning? Like:

    Hi community,

    we have released a new patch with <patch notes here>. You can use the builtin updater or offline installer. If you receive any issues let us know via <support here>:

    <MAC Link>
    <Windows Link>

    Thanks and have fun with Luminar

    And yes; scrolling is much better!! Good progress!

     

    After complaining about the patch communication I have to say: This update looks really good. Scrolling is much, much better now! Also the multiple catalog feature is nice. For example Laptop and Desktop catalog. regarding the crashes I can´t report anything because I don´t have crashes since the 3.1.2 update.

    Still memory leaks with 3.1.3 for Windows . Very frustrating. I will probably give up.

    Update fails for me too. Running on Windows 10.

    1. Get prompted to install the 3.3.1.3 (3920) update on starting Luminar
    2. Click on Install Update, update downloads
    3. Message "Ready to Install" Click on Install
    4. Confirm User Account Control prompt
    5. Update starts with a dialog showing install Destination (populated with correct location)
    6. Two option buttons are "Repair" or "Uninstall". No option to upgrade.
    7. Click on Repair button and install seams to proceed through to completion.
    8. Prompt to Launch Luminar 3, but when button clicked, Lumiar luaches with prompt to install the update again (i.e. back to step 1). Have rinsed and repeated many times but no update installed.

    It looks like hotkeys really aren't working as many would desire.  They don't work when you adjust the sliders.  They do seem to be working if you want to deselect a tool or if you want to uncheck a box, but if you adjust a slider then press CTRL-Z, nothing happens.  Another customer has already reported it to support.

    Ich hatte letztens Luminar gekauft. Habe dann aber von der Geldzurück-Garantie gebrauch gemacht, weil die Performance sehr schlecht war. Konnte denn das Update etwas daran ändern? Die Frage geht in erster Linie an andere User! Vielen Dank!

    Dear Skylum,

     

    with v3.1.3.3920, I don't see any Lost Edits Album.

    Should I have to loose a picture to make this album appear ? 

     

    thank you for your help

    Hi Didier,

    That is correct. The Lost Edits shortcut will only appear if photos become lost or disassociated with their cataloged edits.
