THE LUMA DIFFERENCE
Less interface.
More creative control.
The strongest tools are not hidden. They are reorganized around the layer, object and decision you are making right now.
8 PASSES · 27 MODES
Compositing without duplicate layers.
Mix Screen, Color, Soft Light and more on one layer, each with its own opacity and order.
CAPTURE BRUSH
Paint with the world in front of you.
Sample texture, foliage, fabric or light from a photograph and turn it into a pressure-aware brush.
BRANCHING HISTORY
Explore without fear.
Undo never throws work away — step back, take a different path, and the old branch is still there.
ONE STUDIO · FOUR BREAKTHROUGHS
Follow the idea,
not the interface.
LAYER FOCUS
Complex files. Clear head.
Enter any layer, group or smart object and Luma rebuilds the workspace around it—while the full composition stays one step away.

An image becomes an invitation.
Build a real exhibition poster: one original still life, two editable text elements, and a controlled shift in tone.
Begin with an image
An original AI-generated still life becomes a 1024 × 1536 portrait document. The source artwork remains its own raster layer.
Give it a voice
AFTER HOURS and OBJECTS / SOUND / IDEAS are separate editable text elements, placed in the open space around the still life.
Develop the atmosphere
A tone layer sets exposure to 0.20, contrast to 12, shadows to 8 and temperature to −8. The before and after views use the same composition.
Keep every decision
The four-layer document was saved in Luma’s native format. Its exported PNG was opened and visually checked at the original 1024 × 1536 size.
Compare the tone
