Editing extensions add tremendous functionality to Photos. In this video, Derrick shows how to leverage Luminar and other editing extensions editing mode in Photos for macOS High Sierra.
- [Narrator] Editing extensions are a terrific way…to extend the functionality from MacOS High Sierra.…They are separate applications that work…in concert with photos that allow you to…do all sorts of stuff, mainly enhance the look…of your picture.…Yes we have these wonderful tools here…and yes they are terrific,…but sometimes we need to do more.…And I think this photo's a perfect example.…I like the basic composition of it…but it needs some help and I think…I have go to outside of these tools here…to get where I want to go.…
So I'm going to pick an editing extension.…In this case, I'm going to choose Luminar.…Now the extensions are available up here…and these are the ones I have loaded,…I love them all.…If you don't have any editing extensions,…you can go down here and go shopping.…Just tap on this and it will take you…to the App Store and you can select…the editing extension that best suits your needs.…They go from zero, free, to oh I think you can pay…close to 80 or 90 dollars for one.…
Luminar, I think, is in the middle of there.…
