LumaGrader

Develop

A full RAW editor: white balance, tone and colour, local adjustments with masks, healing, denoise and lens blur. Your original files are never changed; edits live in the catalog.

Editing a photo in Develop

Tone and colour

The controls photographers expect, in the order they expect them.

  • White balance with an eyedropper, exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks.
  • Tone curve, colour mixer, point colour and three-way colour grading.
  • Auto sets the tone for you; click it again to undo.
  • Before / after, clipping warnings and a full edit history.

Masking

Edit just part of the picture: the subject, the background, a brushed area or a gradient.

  • Select Subject and Background, found automatically.
  • Brush, linear and radial gradients, luminance and colour ranges.
  • Add, subtract and intersect areas within one mask.

Healing, denoise and lens blur

Clean up spots, rescue high-ISO shots and soften the background.

  • Healing picks a matching area for each spot you click.
  • Denoise for high-ISO files; judge it at 100%.
  • Lens blur around the subject, with bokeh shape and highlight boost.

Presets, copy and sync

Edit one photo and give the same look to a whole set.

  • Copy and paste chosen settings, or sync the active photo to a selection.
  • Auto Sync edits every selected photo at once.
  • Save your own presets, import Lightroom-style .xmp presets and .cube LUT profiles.

HDR merge

Combine two to nine bracketed exposures into one 16-bit file with full highlight and shadow detail.

  • Auto align for handheld brackets, deghosting for things that moved.
  • The merged file is added next to the originals, ready to edit.
