Top Toolbar

The Top Toolbar sits at the upper edge of the Edit screen and is always accessible while you're editing. It contains five essential icons that help you navigate, personalize, and finalize your editing experience.

Back

Tap the back arrow to exit the Edit screen and return to your Photo Gallery or File Manager. 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.

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.

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.

Preview Original vs Edited

Want to compare your edits to the original photo? After making adjustments, tap and hold anywhere on the image to see the original (Before) version. Release your finger to return to the edited (After) version.

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

More About the Settings Menu

Tap the three dots (...) Settings button to open Luminar’s app-wide preferences and support tools. 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.

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

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.

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.
