Software used in this course: Luminar 2018

This course starts with an overview of the software, including the new features of the updated version, and then moves into some of the specifics of the software and how to process photos. This free course will help you get started and give you that boost of inspiration and motivation you may need to get back to processing your photographs in Luminar.

What is Luminar?

Luminar is a powerful photo editing software by Skylum Software (formerly “Macphun”) that allows you to stylize, layer, mask, crop, retouch, and easily enhance your photos. It is created to be a one-stop photo editor but can also be used as a plugin from Lightroom, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and Aperture.

Here’s what you get:

This course was created to give new and experienced users a fresh and approachable look at Luminar. Here’s what to expect with this course:

Seven exclusive video lessons using Luminar 2018 (instructed by Nicole S. Young).
Practice images and presets to follow along with each video lesson (as applicable).
Become inspired as I showed my very own processing techniques for a variety of photographs.
… and more!

Do I need Luminar to use this course?

Yes! If you do not already own Luminar, you will want to download it first.

Is Luminar available on both Mac and PC?

Yes! This new version of Luminar is the first to be available on both Mac and Windows. However, this course was created using the Mac version of Luminar, so Windows users may see some differences in regard to feature availability.

How does the course work?

To access the course, visit the registration page and fill out the form (it’s free!). After you have confirmed your subscription and received your account link, you can access the course through your account page.

What skill level is this course created for?

This course is for all users of Luminar, both beginners and advanced alike. While some of the content will be better suited for photographers new to Luminar, experienced users might also find the content informative. As an advanced photographer, I always find that I learn something, even if the content is familiar. Plus, it’s a free course, so what do you have to lose?

What will I learn in this course?

Luminar has many things to offer, and I plan on covering a wide variety of content. I will begin with the user interface and will go on to discuss working with presets, filters, workspaces, layers & blending, masking, and more.
