What is Radiant Manager and why do you need it?

Radiant Manager is a useful application that helps keep all your software and add-ons up to date. It is a utility that can solve many problems, and it’s good to use it occasionally.

How to Launch

Radiant Manager can be easily launched from within Radiant Photo 2. Just look in the lower right corner of the screen. Click the Open Radiant Manager button. You’ll also find it located in the folder with your Radiant Photo 2 software.

You may also see an update telling you that it needs to open.

What if Radiant Manager opens on its own?

We know you’ve all become accustomed to closing popup windows. Please don’t in this case. If an update is available, the Radiant Manager may open and prompt you to update your software. Up to once a day, your plugin will check our website to see if an update is available. If there is, the Radiant Manager will launch, and you’ll be prompted to run the update.

How to update your software

If an update is available… click the Update button.

To prevent any problems, make sure to quit any host applications such as Photoshop or Lightroom Classic as well as Radiant Photo 2 when running an update.

What else can it do?

The Radiant Manager is pretty useful (we call it RadMan for short). It can also solve a few more problems.

Change your language

You can set the language used by clicking the gear icon in the lower left corner. Normally, Radiant Photo will detect your system language, but this is an override.

Manage licenses

You can activate or deactivate your licenses here. This lets you move Radiant Photo to a new computer. Each license key can be used for two computers in the same household.

Add new development settings, presets, and Looks

You’ll find extra cool add-ons.

• Develop settings to save you editing time.
• Workflows offering specialized editing solutions by photography genre.
• Looks that show up in the Color Grading workspace.
• Presets that give you new recipes to edit.

Even Radiant Manager needs updates

Less often, but from time to time, we push out updates for Radiant Manager. Be sure to keep it current too.
