It has been on the way for a while, but now it is official. Luminar NEO is getting a new extension that lets you create panoramas. The extension will be available from 20 July and is free for Luminar subscribers and anyone who has bought the complete extension package.

Little by little, Luminar NEO is gaining new features. This happens through the paid extensions, seven of which are now available. The panorama extension brings the total to eight.

The panorama option will support various projections, as well as panoramas made up of multiple rows. The panorama feature even lets you create a panorama from a video. As long as you filmed from left to right, or from right to left.

LumNEO Pano 1

Drag the individual shots into the panorama window and Luminar NEO combines them into a single photo.

The panorama extension is currently still in beta. This means the final release will include some improvements and extra features. The first impression is positive. Although I only tried it at a low resolution, the photos are combined quickly and accurately.

Several projections are available, and you have complete freedom to move the panorama around. This is still the beta version.

After combining the images, you have the option to crop. In this beta version, this has to be done manually, but the final version will also have an auto-crop function.

When the final version is launched, I will cover the panorama extension in detail on Photofacts Academy as part of the Starting with Luminar NEO course. A video will also be made for the Panorama course.

Go to https://skylum.com/nl/luminar/panorama-stitching-cu for the panorama extension, which is still available at an early-bird discount until its launch.

    Nando, you’ve confused me a little. In the email I received from Luminar, the launch date is stated as July 20 and you mention July 17 as the launch date. I have the subscription version and will check again today. So far I haven’t been able to add the extension yet

    I saw it too.
    Either I made a mistake, or the originally mentioned date has been moved forward.
    In any case, it has become July 20

    Hi Nando, Affinity comes with a great panorama tool as standard.

    Regards Dick

    That's right. In Lightroom Classic, in Photoshop, and probably in quite a few other programs as well.
