After the releases of the new cloud-only version of Lightroom, Macphun announced that their product Luminar will be getting a new DAM module (Digital Asset Manager) in 2018. The new functionality will work with both hard drive and cloud platforms (see screenshots above).
Machpun created also a new interactive landing page with some more information about their response to Adobe's recent announcements.
The new DAM will be a free update for all Luminar 2018 owners.
Luminar is also coming soon to Windows (more info available here).
Here is a short video about the new DAM for Luminar:
Here is the full text of Macphun'e email:
After the recent Adobe news about Lightroom updates, we received a lot of questions about our plans for creating a photo manager, so we’d like to shed some light on this.
At the moment we're working on the digital asset manager ("DAM") which will work with both hard drives and cloud storage platforms. It’s going to be the perfect tool for organizing and managing images. Users will be able to run our DAM alongside their LR library and choose which one fits them best.
The new DAM will be added to Luminar in 2018, and will be a free update to everyone who owns Luminar 2018 after it is release. We'll be sharing more details soon, so keep an eye out for them!
Expect some additional information to be released on November 1st.
