Using Luminar with Adobe Lightroom Classic CC

Images in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC (or Lightroom 6) can be easily handed off for editing in
Luminar. To exchange a file from Lightroom Classic CC to Luminar, follow these steps:

1. Make sure Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic CC or Lightroom 6 is open.
2. Choose your image(s) in Lightroom Classic CC or or Lightroom 6 from the Library or
Develop modules that you want to work on with Luminar. Do not use the Previous Import
collection or you won’t be able to see your edits.
3. Choose File > Export with Preset > Luminar 2018
Open Source Files or Edit a Copy with Lightroom
Adjustments.
• Open Source files. This sends the original image
without any Lightroom edits made to the file. A
new image is returned to Lightroom after editing
in Luminar.
• Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments. This
sends a copy of the image with all Lightroom
adjustments applied. A new image is returned to
Lightroom after editing in Luminar.
4. If it doesn’t switch automatically, click the Luminar icon in your Taskbar to switch to Luminar.

5. Make any edits or adjustments as needed in Luminar. Use presets to speed up your editing
workflow.

6. When done, click the Apply button to send the adjusted image back to Lightroom.
7. Switch back to Lightroom.

A new file is added to your Library and stacked with the original in your Library.
