Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Lumen 1.2 makes big folders easier to work with:
- Filter: type in the new search field (or press Cmd-F) to narrow the
grid by filename as you type
- Sort by Date Captured: order photos by the date they were actually
taken (from EXIF), not just the file date
- Batch rename (Pro): select any number of photos and rename them to a
numbered sequence like "Trip 01", "Trip 02" in one step
- Live refresh: photos edited or regenerated outside Lumen now update
in the app instantly, including changes inside subfolders
