Additionally, preview on hover is now available for LUTs in the Mood tool, the Blend Mode in Layers, and Camera Profile in the Develop RAW tool. You can also regulate the intensity of a Preset’s adjustments with a slider, and you can use another slider to view your photo’s before and after states. On top of that, you’ll find performance improvements and support for new cameras including the Canon EOS R8, Canon EOS R50, and Panasonic DC-S5-ll. Last but not least, Luminar Neo 1.8.0 is faster and more stable, as we’ve fixed a number of bugs.”
