We want to build an innovative photo management platform that will allow people to quickly access their images, pick what they like and make them better. We want these images to be secured and safe. We also want to make sure people don’t waste time figuring out how the software works, or waiting for the image to get imported. As I said, we want to build something that others could not create, and that takes a lot of time. But we will definitely launch the photo management module to Luminar for Mac and PC by autumn this year. Q: I like the look of many of the offered filters like Accent AI and Cross Processing, will there be more filters in the future after release? Accent AI is a unique filter. It is the first product that came from our research lab, and it’s the one of a kind filter. It’s not something you can create in bulks. There will be more AI powered filters in Luminar for portraits and landscapes, but they will come later this year. There will also be more filters that give photos a certain signature look that doesn’t exist in other software. We will also introduce more smart filters that will not require extra efforts but will effectively fix the photo. Layers too! One thing I’ve been a bit frustrated with is finding a great preset with Lightroom but not being able to simply tone it down a bit. Lightroom is a software that’s almost 10 years old. Luminar is a new software written from scratch. There are a lot of things in Lr that were impressive back in the days, but we feel that now it misses so many things that modern photographers would enjoy. Layers is an obvious thing, and there are many more. We speak to many photographers around the world, and hear their frustration about many things. I don’t say that Luminar fully addresses all their needs, but we are definitely getting there. It’s an evolving process and we are still very young. You’ll be impressed with what Luminar will become soon. Q: Switching direction a bit — are many of your team photographers? Everyone is a photographer these days, shooting with a smartphone or a digital camera. About half of the team take photos on regular basis with mirrorless cameras or DSLRs. We also have a number of professional photographers on the team, including Scott Bourne, who is the worlds top bird photographer and Olympus visionary; also Evgeny Tchebotarev - founder of 500px.com, Richard Harrington - professional photographer, <strong>Photo</strong>focus publisher and probably the world’s best photography educators. There are more world-class photographers who join our team, and we will announce this soon. Q: Are you working with photographers on new ideas, new updates? We work ONLY with photographers to come up with new ideas and solutions. We are constantly searching for innovation. That’s why we asked Matthew Jordan Smith, Joel Grimes, Dixie Dixon, Trey Ratcliff, Jerry Ghionis to help us make Luminar a true game changer. I don’t think any other photography 64
software company in the world can boast having so much photography talent on board. Q: Finally where can readers go to find out more? Please visit skylum.com to learn more about Luminar.
