Light, Perfected.


Live Tone: The Total Map changed the way we edited images and and gave us deeper insight into our light. Now, with Live Tone, the Total Map updates in real time as you work. It works exactly like it sounds. Lightened your image? darkened it down? Live Tone shows your changing tones so you can decide how to use them.

Perfect Select:  With these tools, you can choose any part of the light and apply it instantly to any layer, group or intelligent effect. Select Zones, skin tones or colors and apply effects and layers fast with the beautifully designed non-destructive vertical editing system developed to give you better results.

Painters, One Clicks and Silver: The next generation of Lumist’s Color Luma. Detailed color control for specific areas of your image. Live Tone showing that one spot that is just a bit off? Luma Painters can fix that, no problem. Need actions for Silver? Or maybe a quick, powerful one click? All here, and you are gonna love’em. 

No Photoshop User should be without it.

There’s no action collection in the industry more intricate then Lumist. But you would never know because it works seamlessly. What started as simple trying to better map and visualize tone resulted in Lumist 1. Lumist 2 is a system in itself, allowing a level of simple, intuitive control over tone that we’ve only dreamed of until now. It’s what Photoshop should do already, but cannot. Lumist 2 uses zones to give you visual feedback on your light, helping you make better images in camera. It also allows you to manipulate that light in real time whether it’s with portrait effects, color tones and overlays, burning, dodging or perfectly masked curves and levels layers that effect only the parts of the image you want.

Lumist 2 is a complete system. But it doesn’t stop there. Whether you use a Lumist action, make your own or apply any other layer, Lumist can see your tones and let you mask and make creative edits and controls on every one. Lumist 2 takes Zones, Luminosity masking and Photoshop and makes them what they were meant to be all along.

Like all our collections. Lumist 2 is guaranteed. Try them out for at least a week  and if within 30 days you find Lumist 2 does not work well for you, we’ll exchange them for something else or give your money back. It’s part of our old-fashioned service and Iron Guarantee.

Who is Gavin Seim.

Gavin is a PPA Master Photographer (M.Photog) born in Seattle, Washington, USA. He began his studies in 1997 at age 12 and started creating the original Lightroom presets and master photo tools in 2006. His award-winning photos, workshops, and tools have been published worldwide as he seeks to simplify techniques for tone, color, and feeling in the photograph. 


In 2022, Gavin created the Shadow Method. Looking for a better way to teach, he flipped the script on how photography has been taught for over 150 years. In 2026, he released the Shadow Master Class after years of testing and teaching the method live to photographers around the globe. 


Gavin knows people are rightly skeptical of tools and courses in today's internet market. So to ensure every product he creates for photographers is backed by service and confidence, he began to offer his 31-day No-Regrets Guarantee! Rare in an industry of digital photo products usually backed by nothing.
 

Gavin started working professionally at age 16. It was not easy to find training then. But 25 years in the trenches taught him that a Master's is just the start. A well-known investigative journalist, he sought a quieter place and in 2017, moved to Mexico, exploring the magical light and culture of the South as he continues creating tools and workshops, hosting the Pro Photo Podcast, and working on portrait, fashion, and cultural projects.
