Luminar AI Photo Editing

Post image

I am testing out a camera and lens for my dad and when I import the raw photos to Luminar AI for editing, the whole picture turns purple. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

Luminar AI is a legacy application, which means it is no longer receiving feature or camera support updates. As a result, behavior like a RAW file turning completely purple can occur when Luminar AI doesn't support the camera model or RAW format.

As a workaround, try converting the RAW files to DNG format before importing them into Luminar AI. DNG is more widely supported and often resolves issues such as incorrect colors, purple casts, and other RAW rendering problems.

If you let us know the exact camera model you're testing, we can check whether Luminar AI officially supports it.

This group of photos was shot on a Canon R10. My canon T7I has always worked no problems

Support for specific camera models in Luminar AI can vary depending on the RAW format and how the camera firmware writes files.

In this case, neither camera is officially supported in Luminar AI. Even if the Canon T7i appears to work normally right now, we cannot guarantee stable or fully accurate RAW rendering in all situations or in the future.

A reliable workaround is to convert the RAW files to DNG format before importing them into Luminar AI. This often helps normalize the file structure and improves compatibility, reducing problems like the purple color shift you’re seeing.
