Using Luminar with Adobe Photoshop

Luminar is a powerful addition to Adobe Photoshop. To apply Luminar 4 as a filter, follow these steps:

1. Make sure Adobe Photoshop is open.
2. Open an image you’d like to enhance.
   
3. Choose Filter > Skylum Software > Luminar 4… A new dialog appears to indicate that Luminar is running.
   
4. Luminar should automatically open the image you were editing. If needed, click the Luminar icon in your Dock or Taskbar to switch to Luminar.
5. Make any edits or adjustments as needed in Luminar. Use Luminar Looks to speed up your editing workflow.
   
6. When done, click the Apply button to send the adjusted image back to Photoshop.

*TIP
Luminar can operate as a Smart Filter in Photoshop. If you designate a Photoshop layer as a Smart Object, then launch the Luminar plug-in as normal to make edits. When you return to Photoshop you can always double-click on the layer and return to Luminar with all edits intact.
