Luminar AI 1.0.1 Update

Great news! The first free update to Luminar AI is here. This update offers a smoother experience and more convenient navigation along with fixes for the most common bugs. Here are the changes you’ll experience.


IMPROVEMENTS


Editing panel navigation

When you open the Edit panel, you’ll now see all of the Edit tools in one list. They’re divided into color-coded categories, but there’s no need to switch between tabs, which allows for a more comfortable editing experience.

Localization improvements

We’ve improved the French, German, and Japanese translations in the UI texts. On top of that, the names of Templates in History are now localized.


BUG FIXES

Thanks to everyone who helped us fine-tune the performance of Luminar AI and provided valuable feedback. We've fixed 111 bugs, including 11 major bugs on macOS and including 7 major bugs on Windows that could lead to crashes or unexpected results. 

On macOS:

  • Export photos and replace existing files in folders without crashes

  • Move subfolders within a folder without a hitch

  • Use Clone & Stamp on zoomed photos and enjoy a smooth result, without any artifacts or crashes

  • Smoothly switch between Template previews with no more overlapping of the previous and next Templates preview

  • Add PNG files to your textures in the Local Masking tool

  • Use Cmd+Z or Undo in the Erase tool to go back one step instead of removing all previous adjustments

  • The Sky AI tool now shows all images in the Custom list, including images with the TIFF or TIF extension

  • Install Luminar AI as a plugin in Lightroom and Photoshop in a beat without duplicate files in the plugin folder

...And more! We hope you enjoy the steadier and smoother experience.


On Windows:

  • No more issues with working in the Edit panel, when when the screen is scaled to 150% and you're viewing in full HD

  • Apply changes in the Optics tool and switch to other tools without loss of image sharpness 

  • Experience a smooth, crash-free migration from Luminar 4 even if the Looks folder is inaccessible 

  • Achieve a realistic background blend when adding your custom Objects in PNG format using Augmented Sky AI 

...And more! We hope you enjoy the steadier and smoother experience.


On both Windows & macOS:

  • No more artifacts visible on darker photos when applying Skin AI 

  • No more halo artifacts after working with Erase canvas after Sky Objects are placed

  • Achieve a perfect composition with CompositionAI and use the Vignette tool without crashes


How to update

Luminar AI 1.0.1 is a free update for all Luminar AI users. 

On macOS, you can update by clicking on Luminar AI in the top menu bar and choosing Check for updates. 

On Windows, you can update by clicking LuminarAI in the left-hand corner, then choose Help > Check for updates.

If you’re running Luminar AI as a plugin for Photoshop or Lightroom Classic, we recommend you also rerun the plugin installer. For best results, uninstall the previous plugins and then re-install. Also, make sure you’re Adobe applications are closed when updating.

It's Finally Safe to Upgrade to Lightroom 2015 6.3

Gary Detonnancourt

In a recent Lightroom update, Adobe decided to make major changes to the import process, in order to appeal to a more consumer level user.  However, the current Lightroom users were outraged with the performance problems, the removal of important features, and the crashing of Apple computers.  Luckily Adobe listened to their customers and created an update called 1015.3 or 6.3 which returned the import process back to normal.  It's now safe to update your Lightroom again.  This update seems to be stable, but only time will tell since it just came out. Check out the list below to see what else is in this update.

New Camera Support

Lightroom will now import files from the following new cameras: Canon EOS M10, Canon PowerShot G5 X, Canon PowerShot G9 X, Fujifilm X-T1 IR, Leica SL (Typ 601), Sony RX1R II (DSC-RX1RM2). Click here for a list of all cameras supported in Lightroom 6 (and other Lightroom versions. The title says Camera Raw, but the righthand column shows Lightroom support.)

New Tethering Support

Lightroom will now allow you to shoot tethered with the following additional cameras: Canon EOS 5DS, Canon EOS 5DS R, Canon EOS T6i / 750D, Canon EOS T6s / 760D. With your camera connected to your computer via USB, you can automatically import photos into Lightroom as you shoot. Click here for a list of all cameras supported for tethered capture.

Bug Fixes

Here is a list of fixed bugs, from Adobe:

Fixed several instability, functionality and performance issues introduced in Lightroom CC 2015.2.x/6.2.x.
Fixed several bugs related to Panorama Merge.

Fixed bugs that:

  • caused edits made and saved in Photoshop or 3rd party plug-ins to not appear in the Develop module.
  • caused user default for Chromatic Aberration Correction to not be honored after new Import option was removed.
  • prevented rotated photos from showing as rotated when in Full Screen view.
  • caused a performance slowdown when creating Standard sized previews on high resolution monitors.
  • caused image previews to be incorrectly displayed as completely black after import if “Auto Tone” is on in preferences.
  • caused crash when using the Radial or Graduated Filter.
  • caused Palette, a 3rd party hardware device, to stop working with Lightroom.
  • caused the Map module to appear pixelated and photos to be  dropped in the wrong place when using hi-dpi monitors on Windows.
  • prevented you from exiting Full Screen view while using the Spot Healing Tool.
  • caused the Flickr Publish Service to improperly publish multi-word keywords.
