The purpose of this page is to provide information on the beta version of Lumenzia v10. Email notification will not be sent during the beta phase, so please check this page to get the latest on timing, versions, and known issues. Official notification will go out once the beta test is complete (an official v10 release is likely between November 15 and December 15 if I had to guess, but dependent on what is found during testing).

Note: Customer support is not available for the beta, as I need to focus on getting the code finalized. The intent of this customer beta is to allow early access for Apple Silicon users and catch any bugs before final release.

Latest beta: See the Lumenzia release notes to learn about the latest available version (whenever you download the ZIP file, you always get the latest version of Lumenzia available.

To try the beta: download the Lumenzia ZIP file like you would for any update (see here to get your link). Inside the ZIP file will be folders for both v9 (the current CEP panel) and the v10 beta. Each folder contains written manuals specific to that release. See here for information to install from the CCX file. Lumenzia v10 requires the newest UXP APIs and therefore requires Photoshop v23.0. If you have an older version of Photoshop, you may continue using the CEP version of Lumenzia (v9.2.3 will remain available for CS6 and legacy CC users).

To report any issues with the beta: Please email me with as much detail as possible (it is important that I be able to replicate your issue in order for me to fix it).

Known issues (anything marked as UXP-related means that a Photoshop update will probably be required to address the issue):

• The interface may not update immediately after using a CEP panel (such as any previous version of Lumenzia). For example, the "Sel" button may not show green for an active selection. (UXP bug)
• Numeric input fields may not work correctly with decimal points or long numbers. (UXP bug)
• Vignettes output as a vector mask are not yet as good as the CEP panel, due to current UXP limitations. Normal layer masks are unaffected.
• “Sel” popup dialog flickers when choosing channels (UXP limitation). Workaround: uncheck “preview channels".

Planned, but not yet implemented in the current beta:

• Sel / Special selections
• Option to Install the custom workspace via Utilities/Optimize.
• Drop shadow on text elements (to make them easier to read in modes like LIVE-S) and buttons. This is not yet supported in UXP.
