Here are the most prominent new features coming with the latest Luminar AI update:
Portrait Bokeh AI
The long-awaited Portrait BokehAI feature will help Luminar Creatives achieve dreamy and spectacular portraits. Using artificial intelligence, this tool quickly analyzes the depth of an image, and creates a beautiful background blur in seconds, adding a realistic and dreamy 3D bokeh effect to your portraits.
Bokeh Al creates a beautiful background blur in seconds, adding a realistic and dreamy 3D bokeh effect to your portraits. You can use it to automatically emulate the stunning background haziness of a high-quality lens at maximum aperture; easily add volume, airiness, and depth to your photos; hide imperfections in an unfocused background; and let the subject in your photos stand out
Textures with visual preview
The improved Textures tool gives you incredible new possibilities. In the Local Masking tab, click on +Add and select Textures. Now you can visually browse Textures in the dropdown list and instantly have an idea of what your final result can look like (just like in SkyAI and Augmented SkyAI).
Shifting Horizon Control in SkyAI
In Update 4, you can enjoy significant improvements to the SkyAI tool.There’s now a new slider that correctly adjusts the position of the sky. You can replace the sky and set the desired position of your horizon line thanks to the Shifting HorizonControl slider in the Sky Orientation section. Instead of Vertical Position, Horizontal Position, and Horizon Blending sliders, now there is just one smart control that saves time and is more efficient in getting your replaced Sky Texture exactly where you want it.

Canon released a new version of their EOS Webcam Utility. The EOS Webcam Utillity allows you to use your Canon DSLR or MILC as a webcam.
To download the full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility software for Windows and learn how to use it, visit https://www.usa.canon.com/support/eoswebcamutility. If you have previously downloaded the EOS Webcam Utility Beta version, please make sure to uninstall it prior to installation of the full production version.
Canon press release:
MELVILLE, NY, September 16, 2020 – It has been a whirlwind the last few months in the world of EOS Webcam Utility software. With over 700,000 downloads after launching the beta version of the software in April, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has helped people stay connected with high quality video for communication with ease of use. And today, the company unveils the full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility software for Windows. The full production version expands to include additional compatible EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) such as the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. In addition, the new software will be available worldwide and available for download directly from the Canon website in each region.
A common thread and conversation throughout the beta software forums was the compatibility of camera models. Many customers were excited to experience the beta version of EOS Webcam Utility software and wanted the list of 25 cameras that were compatible to be more extensive. In true Canon fashion – those voices have been heard loud and clear – now, a total of 42 EOS ILC and PowerShot cameras are compatible with the full production software, including the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. The complete list of compatible cameras includes:
| EOS-1D X Mark III | EOS 6D | EOS Rebel T7i | EOS Rebel T6 | EOS M6 Mark II |
| EOS-1D X Mark II | EOS 7D Mark II | EOS Rebel T6s | EOS Rebel T5 | EOS M50 |
| EOS-1D X | EOS 7D | EOS Rebel T6i | EOS Rebel T3 | EOS M200 |
| EOS-1D C | EOS 90D | EOS Rebel T5i | EOS Rebel T100 | PowerShot G5X Mark II |
| EOS 5DS R | EOS 80D | EOS Rebel T3i | EOS R5 | PowerShot G7X Mark III |
| EOS 5DS | EOS 77D | EOS Rebel SL3 | EOS R6 | PowerShot SX70 HS |
| EOS 5D Mark IV | EOS 70D | EOS Rebel SL2 | EOS Ra | |
| EOS 5D Mark III | EOS 60D | EOS Rebel SL1 | EOS R | |
| EOS 6D Mark II | EOS Rebel T8i | EOS Rebel T7 | EOS RP |
Another common conversation theme within the beta software forums was compatibility with third-party applications. As of announcement day, the new production version of the software has been tested* with various video conferencing applications** as well as streaming applications including:
| Cisco Webex® | Messenger | Streamlabs |
| Discord | Microsoft Teams | YouTube Live |
| Facebook Live | Open Broadcaster Software®️ | Zoom |
| Hangouts™ | Skype | |
| Hangouts Meet™ | Slack |
Moreover, customers have desired to record a high-quality video file onto the memory card in their camera while video conferencing or streaming, and we listened. This can now be achieved*** by simply pressing the record button on the camera and not through the software.
