I’ve just started testing out the impressive new Luminar editing software from Mac developers, Macphun. There’s a good reason why Apple have picked these guys for the Best of the Mac App Store for 5 years in a row! Luminar has a lot of powerful features, and allows layer-based editing which is something sorely lacking in Adobe Lightroom. On top of that, Luminar doesn’t require a subscription like the Adobe apps.
Whenever I learn new software I always like to collate all of the keyboard shortcuts so that I can begin to work on a nice fast workflow. Editing photos is a necessity, but I’ll be honest, I’d much rather be with my camera in the field! Learning some shortcuts always speeds things up and gets me back out there quicker.
With that in mind, here’s all the handy Macphun Luminar keyboard shortcuts for you!

Excellent resource, Dan! I’m with Macphun and of course am a huge fan of shortcut keys as well. 😉 For your reader’s info, we also have an extensive video gallery that some might find helpful (https://macphun.com/luminar/video-tutorials).
