Luminar Flex is the latest version of the ‘old' Luminar, and a terrific standalone photo editor and plug-in. It doesn't have the built-in digital asset management (DAM) of its Luminar 3 stablemate, but it integrates much better with an established workflow. If you don't like the bundled Looks, you can always create your own or download more. In every other respect, Luminar Flex is powerful, innovative and very affordable. If you thought Skylum took a wrong turn with Luminar 3 with Libraries, with Luminar Flex it's back on track.
دانلود luminar flex برای ویندوز فیلتر ها و ابزار های متنوعی را در اختیار شما قرار می دهد. از HSL تا Structure، تمام ابزار لازم برای شما محیا شده است تا جلوه های بصری دلخواه خود را به وجود بیاورید. Update 2020: Luminar Flex is now part of the latest Luminar 4 (it comes with a LR Plugin). Luminar Flex will no longer be updated. Skylum has a fantastic catalog of photo editing software. Programs such as Luminar, Aurora HDR, and Photolemur allow photographers to create works of art.
Luminar Flex is the new ‘plug-in' version of Luminar, though it will also work as a standalone photo-editing program. The difference between Luminar Flex and Luminar 3 is that Flex is designed to work alongside other programs, whereas Luminar 3 is more of a closed all-in-one system.
Many photographers use different programs for different jobs, such as organising their photo library with Lightroom but applying image effects in plug-ins or external editors. That doesn't suit the design of Luminar 3, which is the reason for Luminar Flex.
Luminar Flex is a lot like the original Luminar software. You can launch it as a standalone photo editing program or as a plug-in from within Lightroom, Photoshop and Elements – other programs will be able to use it as an external editor, which amounts to the same thing.
Luminar Flex offers a large selection of tools and effects, but not in a fixed system of panels and palettes like other programs. Instead, it uses a large number of Filters which can be applied individually or in combination. Each filter has its own adjustments – some simple, some sophisticated – and you can even use masking tools to restrict the filter effect to specific areas of the picture.
It doesn't stop there. If you find yourself using the same set of filters again and again, you can combine them in a custom Workspace. Luminar Flex comes with a selection of preconfigured Workspaces for different genres of photography. You can use these or make your own.
But there's an even quicker way to apply a very specific image ‘look', and that's with Luminar Looks (or presets, if you like). Each Look uses a specific combination of Filters and settings. You can adjust these in the main tools panel on the right, add or remove filters and create your own custom Looks very easily.
Luminar Flex comes with a wide selection of Looks in different categories and you can download more from the Skylum site. In fact, Flex users can download a free Flex Toolbox Looks Pack from the Flex Community site.
Luminar Flex isn't just a tool for adding filters and effects – it goes a lot further than that. It can open and process RAW files via its RAW Develop filter, and this includes automatic and manual lens corrections, and transform tools for correcting converging verticals and other perspective problems. Luminar has a crop tool, noise reduction, and a retouching/erase option for removing sensor spots and unwanted objects in the scene.
Even more impressive is its support for layers. These are not just adjustment layers, for applying adjustments non-destructively, but image layers too, so you can combine images in multi-layer montages, with control over the layer opacity and blend mode (just like Photoshop) and with layer masks too. These include a manual masking brush, gradient and radial masks. The only limitation is that if you go back to edit a layer part way down the stack, the layers above are temporarily disabled while you work.
Luminar Flex may look like a quick-fix and special effects tool, but it's actually a lot deeper than that. It's a powerful photo-editing application in its own right, that's just as useful for in-depth image enhancement and adjustments as it is for instant Looks.
It does seem odd that Skylum should first launch Luminar as a standalone photo-editor, then add in digital asset management (DAM) tools in Luminar 3, and THEN launch a separate Luminar Flex program that works like the ‘old' Luminar. These are now being sold as two separate products. If you want both (realistically, you won't), you have to pay for both.
But there is some sense behind this. On paper, Luminar 3 (or ‘Luminar with Libraries') offers more than the old version, with in-built photo management and fully non-destructive photo editing. In fact, though, it takes the software in a very different direction. It's fine for novices or casual users and experimenters who want just a single editing environment and don't mind if it's something of a closed system. That doesn't suit photographers like me who prefer to manage and process RAW files in one program and use others for different kinds of effects.
So although Luminar Flex appears to do ‘less' than Luminar 3, it's actually much more useful to me and, I suspect, may other photographers who already have a workflow they like. Even if it looks like you're getting less, what you're getting is actually much more useful. I'd recommend Luminar 3 to new or non-technical users, but Luminar Flex to regular photographers. Luminar 3 still has some limitations, annoyances and constraints, whereas Luminar Flex doesn't have any. It reminds me why I liked Luminar so much in the first place.
UPDATE: In Luminar 4, Flex has been re-integrated into the Luminar app and is no longer sold separately. See below.

There's no definition of beautiful. Unless you're a pro photographer. For many, inability to reach the desired effect with photo editing means they either choose lesser of two evils or keep switching between different software. But not for you – in a moment, you'll find out how to enhance and add features to the photo editor you love.
Based on the power of Luminar – AI-fueled software for photographers, Luminar Flex is rich on effects that other editors often miss. From unique Luminar looks to AI filters with masks. The tool works as a photo editing plugin, an instant source of enhancements that are all yours.
Apart from the abundance of features, the experience of using Luminar Flex is nothing short of awesome. Easily navigate between four panels – Looks, Filters, History, and Compare. It's smooth, fast, and not getting into the way of your original software.
What else should we say. Not only does Luminar Flex complement and improve Apple's native photo editor, it also supports universally-loved Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Layers and blending modes for Lightroom, Smart Objects for Photoshop – it's about integrating the top features of Luminar into your workflow.
70+ built-in Looks, and even more available for download. Based on the style and mood of your images, pick the ones that fit the story. Next thing, experiment with creative thematic and smart filters to remove color cast, dehaze, hone details, or simply beautify your images even more. As a nice perk, each of the filters can be aligned with a mask.
A pro photographer or an amateur, you won't face any problems with manually editing images. But if you wish, Luminar Flex can do this for you. Utilize smart AI modules the plugin inherited from Luminar photo editor:
AI Sky Enhancer perfects skies in your photos.
Accent AI automatically fixes color, depth, tone, and any small details.
Foliage Enhancer seamlessly handles foliage and greenery.
For experienced users and those who know the robes in editing with Luminar, there are curated collections of tools called workspaces. These cover anything from genre-specific to professional toolkits. Inside the Portrait workspace, for example, you'll find Accent AI, Soft Glow, High Key, LUT Mapping, and anything you need to enhance a portrait. So no digging around.
Add Luminar's touch to your favorite photo editing software in one plugin install. You can quickly grab it on Setapp and change the way you edit photo – for the better.
Meantime, prepare for all the awesome things you can do with Setapp.
