Luminar Jupiter Takes a Big Step Forward!

My friends over at Skylum Software (formerly Macphun) have been working their butts off to bring you a BIG update for Luminar 2018! This new version, named Luminar Jupiter brings the Windows and Mac versions nearly to parity, and adds some great new features for Mac users, too.
The most notable improvements are:
- Speed (performance and adjustments): a dramatic increase in the speed of editing
- Automatic Lens Correction (!!!): The RAW Develop filter analyzes your image’s metadata to calculate one-click automatic lens distorsion corrections
- Enhanced Image Quality on Image View: Most of the demosaic and green equilibration issues have been fixed
- DCP Profiles Support (Mac version only, coming soon to Windows): recognizes industry standard DCP profiles
- Import Speed (Mac version only, coming soon to Windows): re-engineered RAW import, optimized for speed
- Windows version (nearly) catches up with Mac: Batch Processing, Free Transform, and Flip/Rotate are now available in the Windows version
The Results
I gave the new Luminar Jupiter a test drive with the photo above and was happy with the speed improvements and the new Automatic Lens Correction! The only thing missing that I’m used to with Lightroom is that the Auto setting doesn’t de-vignette. However, the slider to fix lens vignetting is just below the checkbox for the Auto Lens Correction.
The addition of DCP Profile support (Mac only for now, coming soon for Windows users) is an added bonus, especially with Lightroom’s recent update to move profiles front and center. I found the new default profile to be an improvement over the Adobe Standard profile (which is also pre-loaded). If you create your own DCP profiles, or have downloaded them from a 3rd party you can load those in Luminar Jupiter as well.
