Why Lumina?

If you work with Cryptomatte EXR on macOS, you already know the pain:

to extract clean masks you usually need Nuke, Fusion, complex scripts, command-line workflows, or heavy compositing pipelines.

Lumina is the missing Mac app that makes Cryptomatte extraction instant.

Drop your render, click Extract, and get all masks exported cleanly — optionally sent directly into Adobe Photoshop as a layered PSD.

✅ Designed for macOS

✅ Fast and lightweight

✅ No Nuke / no Fusion / no pipeline setup

✅ Perfect for artists and small studios

✅ What Lumina does

Lumina takes a Cryptomatte EXR and automatically extracts every matte into clean black & white PNG masks, with a clear naming system.

It can also generate a layered PSD in Photoshop so you can start working immediately.

Core Features

Cryptomatte Extraction

• Extract masks from Cryptomatte EXR
• Works with:
  • CryptoObject
  • CryptoMaterial
  • CryptoAsset
• Automatic output organization (clean extraction folder per render)
• Output in high quality black & white PNG masks

Smart Naming & Suffix Control

• Remove default suffix _mask
• Use your own suffix (example: _matte)
• Prevents confusing filenames when exporting many IDs

Send to Photoshop (One Click)

If enabled, Lumina automatically creates a PSD:

• All masks imported as layers
• Option to:
  • Group masks per ID (Group Layers ON)

Who is it for?

Lumina is designed for:

• 3D artists
• Motion designers

Perfect for workflows involving:

• Unreal Engine
• Houdini
• Blender
• Cinema 4D
• Octane Render
