you this definitive working guide. Thanks to these eight

your library function, organise your shots in moments and even

18 PRACTICAL PHOTOGRAPHY

LETLUMINAR DO ALL THE HARD WORK

When it comes to other library software, you’ll know that

importing your shots can feel like a chore. With Luminar, the

software automatically syncs with your system folders to give

you instant access to your shots. It saves a lot of time, which

leaves you more to spend where it matters – in the edit.

SYNC SETTINGS OVER MULTIPLE SHOTS

If you’ve just made a great edit that you want to apply to an

entire set, not a problem. You can easily right click on the

edited image in your library and simply sync your settings, as

well as copy and paste adjustments between individual shots.

This is perfect to guarantee consistent edits between sets.

REFINE YOUR FOLDERS WITH ALBUMS

Luminar’s Folders are a great way to organise your shots,

as they mirror the folders found on your hard drive. Delving

deeper, you can further index your shots with Albums. Albums

are user-defined virtual folders that don’t rewrite to your hard

drive, and can be created by selecting a shot from any folder,

right clicking and adding to the Album of your choice.

EXPORT TO A RANGE OF SOFTWARE

Although moving between the Library and Edit tabs is simple,

and a great way to take full advantage of Luminar’s wide range

of powerful filters and stylish Looks, you can also right-click to

export your shot to external software programmes for further

editing. This is a great way to integrate Luminar’s powerful tools

into your overall editing workflow.
