Macphun's Luminar is flying high!
Macphun provides another update to Luminar - this time for aerial photographers!
My friends at Macphun continue to innovate and push forward with updates and additions to their award-winning product Luminar. It’s my go-to editor for EVERY PHOTO and in my opinion it’s a true masterpiece of photo-editing software. I absolutely love it. (Read about it here.)
Well now there is a new, free update available for existing customers and it’s called Luminar Aerial (technically it’s an enhancement to the existing Neptune release). It contains a few new additions primarily centered around the idea of editing your aerial photos. They partnered with DJI (makers of the best drones - I fly a DJI Magic Pro myself and love it) and many drone photographers to craft this update.
Here’s what it includes:
- Aerial Workspace - Unique new workspace that features the most commonly used editing filters for aerial photographers, including Macphun’s AI-powered Accent, Dehaze, Polarize and Clarity filters, and more.
- Whites / Blacks filter - This new filter makes setting white and black points effortless.
- One-click Aerial Presets - Instant styling and creative exploration for aerial photos.

If you would like to see it in action, here's my video tour of the new features:
I’ve been experimenting with this Aerial release for a little while now and must say that it works beautifully on my aerial shots taken with my drone (and on any type of short, really). I am pretty new to aerial photography, admittedly, but boy has it really captured my imagination. Since I have been on this lengthy road trip I have been capturing a lot of video and photos with my DJI Mavic Pro. It’s offering me some new perspectives, which is great. You'll see a lot more from me on this,
How about a couple of screenshots? Here's some preset views.
There's a new Aerial Photography workspace, too. It contains the following filters: Color Temp, Accent AI, Whites/Blacks (a new filter in Luminar!), Dehaze, Polarizing Filter, Saturation/Vibrance, Clarity, Top & Bottom Lighting, Sharpening, and Golden Hour. It's great!
And there's also the new Whites/Blacks filter. It's great for adding contrast and controlling the light in an image.
Below are some of my recent drone photos, all edited in Luminar!
