Help & app menu

Where to find help and licence information, plus the app menu — updates, your licence, preferences, catalog settings and watermarks.

Help menu

  • What's New… — the release notes, newest first (What's New).
  • Lumidex Studio Help… (⌘?) — opens this guide.
  • Lumidex Studio Tutorial… — opens Import from Lightroom, the place to start if you're moving from Lightroom Classic.
  • System Info… — your app version, macOS version and catalogue location, ready to copy into a support email.
  • Provide Feedback… — starts an email to support with your app version already filled in.
  • Report a Problem… — shows the most recent crash report so you can read it and choose whether to send it. Nothing is sent automatically.
  • Keyboard Shortcuts… — opens Preferences ▸ Keyboard, where you can see and change the shortcuts. The full list is on Keyboard shortcuts.
  • Open-Source Licenses… — the open-source components Lumidex Studio is built on, with their licences.
Note

You're reading the online documentation now — the full guide lives here at lumidexstudio.app/help, so it's always current and searchable.

App menu (Lumidex Studio ▸ …)

The menu under the app's name holds the standard macOS items plus a few of its own:

  • About Lumidex Studio — the version you're running (useful when reporting an issue).
  • Check for Updates… — see whether a newer version is available and install it. Updates are included free for 12 months from purchase; after that, the version you own keeps working.
  • Preferences… (⌘,) — all app settings: General, External Editing, Network (NAS keep-alive), Keyboard, and more.
  • License… — enter or review your licence key, see the Macs it's active on, and free up a seat when you move to a new Mac. See Licensing & activation.
  • Catalog Settings… — catalogue info, optimisation and automatic backups.
  • Identity Plate Setup… — put your own name or logo in the top-left of the window, as text or an image. It can also be printed on pages from the Print module.
  • Edit Watermarks… — create and edit the watermarks used on export and in print.
