LUMIPro 18 Is Here!

So as many of you noticed we quietly released LUMIPro 18! I know what many people's first thought is... ''Oh no do I have to pay for a new copy?" Of course not! Updates are always FREE!

If that is not your first thought I bet it is "What's new?" This release is all about color! Have you ever worked really hard on a photoshoot saved your pose, your eye position, your camera angle, and then thought "I wish I could keep this color for later." Well, now you can!

For a little more information check out the video Stefan created when we released the first LUMIPro 18 Beta. Click Here. (More videos to come soon!) We also have some wonderful NEW poses contributed by Ardent Poses & More, Image Essentials, ...: Something New :..., WESTSIDE and .:Z&E Poses:. Be sure to check them out. They did an amazing job!  TexasRob McRae also hooked us up with new projector gobos!

So how do you get your new update? If you currently use LUMIPro just attach your LUMIPro 2017 and click Yes! When it asks if you would like to update. You can also make the transition from the old to the new easier by using the backup server. Here is a video on how it works.

If you are wondering if LUMIPro is right for you try a fully functioning demo at LUMIPro World Headquarters. You can also purchase LUMIPro at the Headquarters or on Marketplace.

The LUMIPro team would like to thank everyone for their support and understanding as we put this release out around our real lives. From our users to our beta testers and contributors, we could not do it without each of you!

Well as I always say...

Until next time... Happy Shooting

A Big Thank You from LUMIPro and TexasRob!

Hello everyone! I am happy to report that our very first gallery opening was a success. The quality of work displayed by TexasRob was awesome, and it was so great to see so many of you come and show your support. I have a message from Rob for everyone, "I want to express my thanks to the LUMIPro staff and to everyone who came to the opening of the exhibit. I was overwhelmed at being chosen and by the show of support from my fellow photographers." If you want to find out more about the artist I interviewed Rob for Attention Magazine.

While Stefan was at the opening he grabbed a couple screenshots of the action.

Don't worry if you were unable to attend the opening, TexasRob's exhibit will be up at least until the 29th of October. I wanted to take a moment and share a few of the great photography you will find there...

If these don't make you want to go check it out, I am not sure what will! Here is a ride to get you there. I am so excited about getting to feature the photographers in our amazing community. You never know who might be next!

I also want to remind everyone to keep your eyes on the blog; we have some very exciting things coming up like... beta testing LUMIPro 2017!

LUMIPro Is Proud To Present TexasRob McRae!

*** Shuffles into the gallery still were in her pajamas, as she sits down on the desk she lightly blows on her cup of coffee to cool it. Looking up with a smile, she takes a sip, before addressing everyone. ***

Good morning everyone! I know it is super early, but I had to remind you about the gallery opening today! We are really excited to have created a way for you guys to showcase your work. Today at 2 o'clock SLT we will present you the awesome works of TexasRob McRae. Many of you know him from his work on the gobos in LUMIPro, but today I hope you will come check out his other artistic endeavors.

DJ Mesostopheles will be keeping you entertained this afternoon. He is going to be playing some great music while we all chat and put a big smile on Rob's face!

We are hoping this will be the first of many art shows that we host at LUMIPro World Headquarters. I'm not going to put a dress code, but please make sure you at least wear shirt. *** Laughs softly ***

I hope to see each of you there this afternoon, and don't forget to bring a friend!

Here is your ride!

Well I am going to finish my coffee, and get everything ready to go. I look forward to seeing everyone this afternoon! Until then... Happy Shooting!

LUMIPro Presents TexasRob McRae!

*** Walks into LUMIPro World Headquarters,  past the desk, and over to a black curtain. Tugging at the rope playfully she gives everyone a smile. ***

So I know some of you have been wondering what we could possibly be hiding behind this curtain; well I think it's time to finally share our secret with you! LUMIPro World Headquarters is officially being transformed into an art gallery! We will be taking artwork from our amazing users and letting you them show it off. I am super excited about this project. Our very first featured featured will be none other than TexasRob McRae!

You all know some of his work from the wonderful gobos that are included in LUMIPro. Now you will get to see some of his artistic expression! This will be the first of many shows at LUMIPro World Headquarters! We will be featuring a new artist each month.

For Rob's show we will be entertained by DJ Mesostopheles. It takes place on October 15TH at 2 PM SLT. I hope you guys will come out to show your support. 

Also don't forget there is still trying to get in your Avi Choice Award nominations!

You guys know what I always say, until next time...  Happy Shooting! Now get out of here so we can take care of all the last-minute details. ;)

Introducing Lady LUMIPro!

*** As you walk into the studio you notice a woman with dark hair in a suit. She is standing on her tiptoes hanging a frame, before you can ask who she is Samantha walks around the corner. ***

Oh hello! I wasn't expecting anyone today. Let me go ahead and introduce you...

*** She walks over to the woman you don't recognize, grabs her hand and urges her towards the front of the room. *** 

This is Raven, and I am happy to announce she is joining the LUMIPro team! She will be running the gallery we are about open, as well as being my awesome assistant. She has been a wonderful part of the Buscaylet Family for a long time, and we are excited to add her to the LUMIPro Family!

You Know You Love A... LUMIPro Spotlight!

*** She walks into the room her lace evening gown flowing with each movement of her hips. As she gets to the desk and turns several woman also in evening gowns enter the room. She smiles as they begin to hang canvases along the walls. Finally she turns to the crowd... ***

So the other day someone, not so gently, reminded me that I promised everyone a little for a spotlight. Well they were right and today is the day! Let's make this happen...

You Know You Have Missed Them...

*** She sashays into the sales room as several men, carrying large prints, follow behind her. As the the men begin to frame the prints she turns to the others in the room. ***

Stefan and I know you guys have really missed... LUMIPro Spotlights! For all of our new comers here is how a spotlight works:

A Little Late But Here It Is... The Last Sharing Of Art!

I was sitting here thinking about what interesting things I could bring to you all this week, well Stefan is away on business, and I realized I never did get to finish sharing all of the art with you that we had at Obsession Exposed Gallery last month. Computer issues and reformatting can be rather distracting. They are just to good not to share, so here we go...

I want to take the time to thank all of our great users who share their amazing works in LUMIPro's Flickr group. I also want to thank the people at Obsession Exposed Gallery for hosting the show. Although our show is ending a new show featuring the works of Ryanna Foxclaw opens on the 12th at noon SLT. She is a new LUMIPro user so lets show her lots of support. If you need any help or have questions I am always just a message away. 

Until next time... Happy Shooting!
