![]() For example you can have a workspace with your favourite settings for landscape images, and another one for portraits so that you don’t need to scroll down or add filters every time you edit a new image. You can customise or create your own sidebar with your favourite editing tools (called Filters). Luminar doesn’t support multiple screens yet but has something else that is quite interesting called Workspaces. Another option is to import images using the “Open images for Quick Edit” option which automatically puts them in the Quick Edit shortcut. With Luminar you can do something similar by pressing the P key which labels your image as a favourite, and you can then access all the favourites in the dedicated shortcut. While I’m browsing through my images, I just hit the “B” key and my photo is automatically added to the quick collection so that I can review it later. One of the things I use the most in Lightroom is the Quick Collection. This was another thing I was missing from Lightroom so I’m glad that the Skylum team has fixed this. Metadata filter on LightroomĪ welcome improvement with Luminar version 3.1 is the possibility to hide JPG or RAW files when they are captured by the camera at the same time, so you don’t have to go though a lot of duplicates anymore. For my work as camera tester, this is a big help, especially when I’m looking for a sample taken three years ago with a particular camera and a particular setting. The Library filter in Lightroom allows you to perform searches based on a specific camera or lens, a precise focal length or ISO value, as well as any text you might have added to the EXIF data (Title, Caption, Copyright name, etc.). What I miss from Luminar is more in-depth options to sort or search for my images. Just like Lightroom, you can flag, label or rate your images for more precise sorting. You’ll find shortcuts to images you recently edited or added, as well as the possibility to quickly find photos shot on a specific date. The Luminar Library is an important step forward for the company, but it is more basic in comparison to the Adobe version. Any change to the files and folders will be reflected on your disk too. Like Lightroom, the images are synced with their physical location on your hard drive, which means that no copy of your photos is created when imported into the software. Luminar has introduced its Digital Asset Manager (Library) with version 3.0. ![]() I’ve been using the same catalogue file for all our reviews and comparisons since 2013, which means that when all my hard drives are connected, the software handles more than 40,000 RAW images. The possibility to organise and sort my photographs is what has kept me with Lightroom for so long.
