The Mac version has RAW image improvements, improved workflow with other applications and enhanced plugin support for Topaz plugins.

New camera support for both versions of Luminar 2018 includes Apple iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X phones, Canon M100 and G1 X Mark III cameras, Google Pixel 2 (XL), GoPro Fusion and Hero6, Hasselblad A6D-100C, Leica CL, Light L16, Panasonic G9 and Sony RX10 IV and A7R III cameras.
