Skylum has released the version 4.3 update to Luminar 4, and with it comes a bread new Search Tool.<\/a>\u00a0In addition, they’ve added a number of performance upgrades, a better visual experience when using Looks, and support for some of the latest model cameras, including the Fujifilm X-T4 and X100V.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new Search Tool is a long awaited feature that adds a totally new functionality to the program, and helps speed up your workflow by streamlining the way that you find your images in the Library.<\/p>\n

Located in the Gallery View window, Luminar’s new Search Tool allows you to find images by name, folder, date or extension. (You can watch a quick demo of the search function here<\/a>). This allows you to quickly locate single images, or batches of images.<\/p>\n

You can’t search by caption or keyword yet, but I would imaging that’s coming. As with everything else, the Skylum engineers are moving in steps as they build out the program.<\/p>\n

Instead of trying to add everything at once, which make potential problems much more difficult to diagnose, they add one or two new features at a time and improve functionality on a continuous basis. This keeps things much more simple and streamlined in the design process.<\/p>\n

That said, even though Luminar’s new Search Tool isn’t quite as powerful as what we’re used to in many programs, it’s a good start, and something they can now build on.<\/p>\n

Other Visual & Performance Improvements in v.4.3<\/h3>\n

In addition to the Search Tool, Luminar 4.3 opens RAW files even faster<\/strong> than before, and overall, the program has been optimized to use considerably less memory, so tools will be more responsive<\/strong> and operate more smoothly. This is especially true with the Crop tool<\/strong>, which has been tweaked for even better performance.<\/p>\n

T<\/strong>he Looks panel has been improved to give a much better viewing experience<\/strong>. Now, when you hover over a specific Look down in the Looks bar, instead of seeing the preview of that look on the tiny thumbnail, you’ll see the effect previewed on your main image<\/strong>. This will give you a much better idea of how each Look will affect your pictures. (See an example here.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Luminar has also added support for the latest cameras, including the Fujifilm X-T4, X100V, XT-200, Nikon D780, Z50, Canon EOS-1D X Mark III, Sony A9 II and others from Olympus and Panasonic.<\/p>\n
