Today’s smartphone cameras offer features on par with some of the better pro cameras out there, but few of us are above bad lighting or blurry shots. Whether for content creation or personal use, photo editing apps can go a long way in improving the quality of your images, but they come at a price. Right now, StackSocial is offering a 58% discount on lifetime access to Luminar’s state-of-the-art technology. That means you can pick up this app for iOS or Android for just $20 compared to the regular price of $48.
Luminar offers advanced AI tools to enhance photos. Adjust lighting levels, fix a dark sky, remove blemishes from portraits, enhance sharpness and contrast, all through the app with a few taps.
The app will help you take your mediocre photos and turn them into frame-worthy shots by fine-tuning the color and details to capture the right mood. It’s easy to crop photos, and you can erase unwanted objects in the background, resulting in realistic shots. There are tons of filters, from a moody black and white vibe to a vintage aesthetic. Curate your collection, make your sunsets glow and capture the light as you see it, not just as your camera picks it up.

Luminar is supported on iOS, Android and Chrome OS. Apple users will be happy to know it is optimized for Apple’s ecosystem. You can use immersive editing on Vision Pro with full support for iPadOS and VisionOS, but you will need to have iOS17 or higher.
To get the deal, be aware that you must be a new user to Luminar. You will purchase the app through StackSocial, which will then generate a code for you to redeem when you download the app. Be aware that you will need to redeem that code within 30 days of purchase and note that lifetime access is granted for one device only.

Why this deal matters
If you’re tired of limited features for editing photos directly on your phone or using Instagram, Luminar will change all of that. At $48, it’s not a huge investment but if you’re more of a hobbiest, that price can seem a little steep. For just $20, it’s a great deal on an easy-to-use app that will elevate your content.
Note: Although this is advertised as a lifetime subscription, there are no guarantees that purchases will be supported for life. As we’ve seen in the past, a change of ownership, a service shutting down or some other unforeseen circumstance may result in your lifetime subscription ending sooner than anticipated.
