# Menu Bar

The Menu Bar contains the controls you'll use most often while working in Luminar Mobile. From navigating between screens and accessing app settings to comparing edits and exporting your photos, these controls help you manage your editing workflow from start to finish.

### Top Toolbar

The Top Toolbar sits at the top of the Edit screen, providing essential icons to help you navigate, personalize, and finalize your editing experience.

#### Back

Tap the Back icon to return to the previous view. Your work is non-destructive, so changes are saved automatically unless you explicitly discard them. Use this to switch images, return to browsing, or exit editing at any time. &#x20;

#### Settings Menu (Three-Dot Menu)

This is your app settings and support center. Tap the three dots to open a menu with system-level options—ideal for customizing how Luminar responds to you and accessing helpful resources when needed.

#### Share

This button opens the export panel (as covered in “Sharing Your Work”). It’s visible throughout editing, so you can share your final image the moment it’s ready.

### Quick Actions

Quick Actions appear above the tool panel and provide fast access to commonly used editing controls.

#### Undo / Redo

Tap the undo arrow to remove your last change, or the redo arrow to reapply it. These tools help you quickly step backward or forward through your edits without losing progress.

#### Preview Original vs Edited

Want to compare your edits to the original photo? After making adjustments, tap and hold anywhere on the image or use the Show Original button in the right corner of the Quick Actions bar.\
The original (Before) image is displayed while the button is pressed or while your finger remains on the screen. Release to return to the edited (After) version.

This option helps you see exactly how far you’ve come — perfect for checking subtle or significant changes.

#### Double Tap to Zoom

Double-tap the photo to zoom in. When zoomed in, Luminar centers the view around the area you tapped. Double-tap again to return to the previous zoom level.

#### Pinch to Zoom

Use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in or out of your image.

#### Full Screen View

Tap once on the photo to enter Full Screen View. In this mode, the tool panel and Tab Bar are hidden, allowing you to focus on your image. You can continue to zoom and pan the image while in Full Screen View. Tap the Back icon to return to the editing workspace.

Here’s what each menu option does:

#### Your Account

Click here to manage your subscription. This is where you check your license status, update the payment method & cancel the subscription.

#### Sound

Toggle sound effects on or off. This affects UI interactions like tapping buttons and adjusting sliders. Leave it on for audible feedback or turn it off for silent, focused editing—especially useful in quiet environments.

#### Haptic

Enable or disable vibration feedback for your touch actions. Haptics provide subtle physical confirmation when interacting with sliders and tools. It’s a tactile way to feel your edits as you make them, but can be disabled if preferred.

#### Support

Need help? Tap here to open the support portal. This includes FAQs, troubleshooting guides, and a way to contact Skylum’s customer support team directly. It’s a lifeline if you’re stuck or have questions about a tool or feature.

#### User Guide

Access the full mobile guide inside the app. While you're reading this manual, the in-app version is always a tap away—great for referencing tool details or learning about features as you work.

#### Privacy Policy

Review Skylum’s policies on how your data is used, stored, and protected. Luminar is designed with privacy in mind, and this section outlines your rights and Luminar's responsibilities.

#### Terms of Use

Read the terms and conditions for using Luminar. This legal overview helps you understand the rules for usage, content ownership, and limitations.

#### About Us

Learn about Skylum — the team behind Luminar. Discover their vision, history, and other tools like Luminar Neo. This section helps you connect with the creators of the software you’re using.

### Sharing Your Work

Once you've completed your edit, it's time to share your creation. Tap the **Share** icon at the top-right of the Edit screen to open the sharing panel.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/Zq4hdI85tqWLNPwh4jt9" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You then have three ways to export or share your image:

#### Share

Send a lightweight version of your image through any app installed on your phone — Messages, Gmail, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more. This version is optimized for quick sharing, so it sends fast while still looking great. Great for client previews, social posts, or real-time updates.

#### Save to Photo Gallery

This saves a copy of your enhanced photo directly to your phone’s camera roll. The original image remains untouched, so you always have a version you can go back to. Use this if you want to keep a high-resolution, edited version on your device.

#### Save to Files

Choose a custom storage location. You can select a folder on your phone or send the image directly to Google Drive or another connected cloud app. This is perfect for organizing projects, backing up important edits, or sending images between devices.

### Batch Export

<figure><img src="/files/gZH0ybmQcx2ZI6KXdxsg" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can export your photos in a batch. Follow these steps:

1. Tap the "Select" button in the top right corner and choose the photos you wish to save.
2. Tap the Share button in the bottom left corner.
3. Select your export settings, then wait until the export completes.
4. All done! The photos are exported to the designated place.
