ILLUMinator is a photo editor for Lytro ILLUM and first generation Lytro cameras. It can import libraries from Lytro Desktop. It runs as a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux) and in a web browser.
Because a Lytro photo is a light field, it keeps working like a camera after the shot: you can refocus, change the aperture, move the viewpoint and tilt the plane of focus, then develop the picture and export stills or animations.
- Getting Started: install, open your first photo, find your way around
- Library and Albums: where photos and edits are kept, organizing with albums
- Importing: from Lytro Desktop, from files
- Editing: the photo viewer, and every panel: Crop · Process · Local Adjustments · Camera · Details · Optics · Animation · Render · Microlens Grid
- Exporting: stills, full sensor renders and videos
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- File Formats: the library, the edits files and the Lytro files ILLUMinator reads
- Troubleshooting
