Features

This section introduces the core capabilities available in Lumi and the creative workflows they support.

File Format (.lum)
A structured project format for layered artwork, recovery, colour data, and long-term editing.
Filters
Correct, stylize, generate, and keep layer effects editable with blur, lighting, texture, print, and analysis filters.
File Recovery
Background protection and intentional checkpoints help keep painting sessions from becoming fragile.
Layers & Non-Destructive Editing
Structured painting with editable layers, groups, masks, effects, and protected work states.
Brush Tool
Expressive painting with responsive marks, dynamic input, texture, smoothing, and multi-head brush behaviour.
Palette Editor
Build palettes as complete colour systems with pigments, saved mixes, used colours, values, and gradients.
Palette Map
See the reachable colour world of a palette as a visual map for exploration and selection.
Palette Mixer
Create new colours from palette relationships using pigment-like mixing, tone, and chroma decisions.
Publishing Layout
Bleed, gutter, and composition guides for print and publication work, saved per image with the project.
Scheme Scripting
Automate workflows and extend Lumi using an embedded Scheme interpreter.
Spectral Color Mixing
Palette colours mix with pigment-like behaviour, giving digital colour selection a more painterly feel.
Tool Presets
Build a small, familiar set of handmade tools with stable behaviour, resources, and custom identities.
Warp Tool
Reshape painted content directly while preserving the layered structure of complex artwork.
Workspaces
Switch between prepared studio environments for sketching, painting, inking, colour work, and focus.
