LumaTouch released LumaFusion 2.3 for Android and Chrome OS on June 24, 2025, bringing long‑requested HDR capability along with general stability improvements. This version introduces support for 10‑bit color workflows, including Rec.709, HLG, HDR10, and DisplayP3—on supported Android devices (LumaTouch).
More Dynamic Color in Mobile Editing
With HDR support, mobile editors can now work with richer color spaces directly on Android and Chrome OS. The new features focus on ensuring footage looks more vibrant and color‑accurate on HDR‑capable displays, matching what’s already available on iPad and iPhone versions.
LumaTouch teases more features headed to the Android version soon – beyond HDR support. Professionals should test this new release before adopting it into production pipelines.
Caution: The Android HDR “Standard”
And now, a note of healthy skepticism for the color-conscious. While LumaFusion 2.3 introduces HDR and 10-bit color workflows on Android, results may differ depending on device, display, and which particular flavor of “standard” Android decided to support this month. The Android ecosystem’s approach to color management has always been, generously, a patchwork. Consistent results across manufacturers, chipsets, and OS versions remain a fond hope – one best summed up by this XKCD classic (opens in new tab). Maybe one day, someone will finally solve it with “just one more” universal standard.
As always, thoroughly test new features in real‑world projects before deploying them in critical workflows. Your mileage may vary, but your headaches will be unique.
