Luminar AI in Action (Beta)

A sneak preview of the workings and smooth interface experience of Luminar AI.

CR2 file converted to JPG and opened with Luminar AI 

Whilst Luminar AI is still under development (well, software development is an ongoing thing after all), I managed to get a sneak peek and play with a beta version of the software. And I have to say, as always, I am pretty impressed with the simplicity of the Luminar interface. 

With that uncluttered feeling, unlike many other photo editing software, Luminar AI is focused on results without the ‘gymnastics’.

So, to start off my exploration, I used the provided demo images saved in CR2 format. Hey, I wanted to make this as natural and realistic as possible. So, in case you didn’t know CR2 files are RAW Canon generated images. Which, unfortunately, caused my Powerbook to crash each time I tried to launch an image in this format.

Now, I didn’t want to spend the day trying to resolve, or find out what the problem was. So here is what I did instead. 

 

1. I Visited Convertio and converted the CR2 file to JPG format.

You can do this all online without having to download and install any software. Maybe you have an alternative method, if so, please feel free to share below. 

2. Download the converted file(s). 

Of course the above issue I had will not affect everyone, but I just wanted to demonstrate that there are many ways to resolve problems you may encounter during the photo editing process. 

So bear in mind, that whilst Luminar AI does provide a very simple to use environment. There are many other factors that also contribute to your overall editing experience.

This is where joining a community of like minded creatives becomes useful. You’ll get to learn how other creators work and deal with varying situations plus lots more. (Want to learn more about a Luminar community membership? go here).

Launch with Luminar AI and auto-magically edit your photos

Brief look at Luminar AI Templates

When I say ”instantly”, I refer to the way in which, after launching an image with Luminar AI. The software, first, automatically ( I like to say auto-magically) analysis the image, and then makes “Template” editing suggestions. Now, what could be more simple than that?

Luminar AI (beta)

“Templates” by the way, is a Luminar AI feature that provides  editing starting points that are tailored for efficiently handling different photographic situations.

 

In spite the AI working in the background -

You are always still in control...

In the case above I have used the Fast Fix option (A) for the demo landscape image, which added, overall, more definition to the image. Now, it doesn’t end there, as I can also further  fine-tune the image using the Fast Fix slider (B) that becomes available with my selected Template editing option.
