Luminar (Skylum) has announced a new update. It will now be possible to merge an exposure bracket in the software into an HDR image. The dodge and burn function will also become available.

Until now, it was impossible to generate an HDR image from multiple exposures in Luminar. You needed a separate software package for that, such as Aurora HDR. Skylum, the company behind Luminar, has now announced that a plugin for Luminar NEO will be available from 28 July.

The plugin will make it possible to merge an exposure bracket of up to 10 photos into an HDR image. There is a catch, though, the plugin is not free. It costs 49 euros to use this HDR function.

Those who have chosen a subscription will get this plugin for free. Owners of Aurora HDR will also be able to use this plugin for free. However, if you chose a one-off purchase of Luminar NEO, it is not free.

In the Professional section, the update will also make the dodge and burn options available from 28 July. This is also known as dodge and burn.

In addition to this option, Supercontrast and Color Harmony will also become available. Skylum says that these two options work in the same way as in Luminar AI, where they were already available.

Ik heb Luminar 4 en Luminar AI ( vanwege de lucht reflectie in water gekocht.) en AURORA HDR . Gaat de plugin ook in Luminar AI werken? Anders blijf je Luminars aan het kopen, wat ik trouwens niet ga doen, de Luminar AI vind ik prima. En anders blijf ik mijn HDR's wel in Lightroom doen.

@P.Hein:
Reken er maar niet op dat deze plugin voor de andere (oudere) Luminar versies zal werken. Deze zal alleen voor de versie NEO zijn.

Uit de Luminar website kan ik niets anders opmaken dan dat deze plugin alleen aan te schaffen is samen met Neo. Om twee keer Neo te kopen gaat wel wat ver. Of zit de aanschaf van alleen de plugin ergens verborgen?

@Roeland: de plugin is pas vanaf 28 juli beschikbaar. Ik neem aan dat vanaf die datum de mogelijkheden tot aanschaf terug te vinden zijn.
