Scroll arrows added to For This Photo

Comfortably scroll Templates in the For This Photos section using the left and right arrows. Easily choose from the smart Templates recommended by Luminar AI and make your photos better in one click.

Redesigned Toning tool

The Toning tool now has Shadows and Highlights buttons and matches the design of other Luminar AI tools.

Tooltips added throughout the software

Hover over the icons in Luminar AI to learn what you can achieve with each feature. Explore Luminar AI in a new way and access all the tools you need.
