![]() ![]() I always found the program to have specific uses in my photography workflow, in earlier versions I liked the color adjustments a bit better than Lightroom, and in later versions I liked the Accent AI for the vibrance it added to an image when used in subtle amounts. I suggest using the other methods listed above when you want to edit a photo in Luminar AI from Lightroom.I have been using Luminar in my workflow for a few years now. So, if you prefer to edit the raw file in Luminar, you are not able to do that with this method. This is because the newly-created TIFF file has essentially been imported into the Luminar AI catalog as a “Single image edit”, so any edits you make within Luminar cannot be saved and brought back into Lightroom so you would need to complete your edits in Luminar and export it to save a finished file.Īlso, another issue with this method is that it is not editing the original format of your image. However, after doing so, there is no way to bring the image back into Lightroom after you’ve completed your edits. Then, Luminar AI will open up so you can edit the file. When you use this menu command, by default Lightroom creates a TIFF file and places it alongside your original file. However, with Luminar AI, I do not recommend this method, primarily because it does not work as intuitively as we would expect it to. After all, this is how you bring your photos into Photoshop to do further editing. Most of the time, when editing your photo externally, you’ll go to the Photo > Edit In menu option. Does not bring the photo back into Lightroom.The photo is added as a “Single File Edit” in Luminar AI and is opened in its original folder location.Opens this new TIFF file into Luminar AI.Creates a new TIFF file and places it alongside your original file in Lightroom.So a file named flower.raf would then be flower.tiff once brought back into Lightroom. The only difference is that when you bring the photo back into Lightroom, the filename does not have “LuminarAI-edit.tiff” added after the filename. This method works nearly identically to the method above ( File > Export with Preset > Luminar AI > Open Source Files). Saves as a TIFF file once back in Lightroom.The filename is not changed when the image is brought back to Lightroom.Nearly identical to the previous method, “Open Source Files”.Transfer to Luminar AIįile > Plugin Extras > Transfer to Luminar AI ![]() ![]() This allows you to use the full potential of Luminar AI while still working from Lightroom. For example, if you are editing a raw file, the original raw file will open into Luminar, regardless if there were any edits applied to the file in Lightroom. This method is a good option if you want to use Lightroom as your catalog of images, but would prefer to edit a photo from start to finish within Luminar AI. The file is brought back into Lightroom as a flattened TIFF file alongside your original image after making your edits in Luminar.Opens the file into Luminar as the original file (raw, etc.).Works well if you want to edit the original file in Luminar AI with no edits from Lightroom applied to the image.Then, when finished, the file is automatically brought back into Lightroom as a flattened TIFF file with all Luminar AI edits visible.įile > Export with Preset > Luminar AI > Open Source Files The reason I prefer this method is that it allows me to first apply my raw image edits in Lightroom, then I can easily open a photo into Luminar AI to add some finishing touches. It’s where I store and organize my images, and I prefer to use it when editing my raw files as well. Lightroom is the “home base” for my entire photography catalog. This is my preferred method and is the method I will regularly teach. Adds “LuminarAI-edit” to the end of the filename (for example, after editing a file named photo.raf, the file would be called photo_LuminarAI-edit.tiff once the image is brought back into Lightroom).The file is brought back into Lightroom alongside your original image after making your edits in Luminar.Opens the file into Luminar as a flattened TIFF file with your Lightroom edits applied. ![]()
