How many times have you regenerated an entire image just to fix one typo?
You know how it goes. The layout was perfect, the colors worked, and then one word changed. Now you're rolling the dice again and hoping the new version still looks right.
Luma has a feature Luma Layers (and Ray3.2) that's meant to end that cycle.
So what is Luma Layers?
Think of it like opening a flattened poster back up. Layers builds an image as separate pieces: the text, the background, the product. You change one piece and the rest stays put.
It also works on images you already have. Upload an old poster or brand asset and Luma breaks it into layers for you.
What Luma says it can do
Swap the copy or font color while everything else stays exactly where it was.
Keep your approved layout identical from version one to version ten, since untouched layers never go back through the model.
Upscale individual layers to 2K when you're ready to deliver.
To be fair, these are Luma's own claims, and I haven't found an independent test yet. Try it on one of your own files before you rely on it.
Who will like this
Designers: fix a single element without redoing the whole composition.
Marketers: turn one master image into versions for different markets or campaigns.
Entrepreneurs: refresh an old brand asset without starting from scratch.
And the video side?
Luma's Ray3.2 is the video model, and the pitch is control. You direct each frame and keep the look consistent from cut to cut, instead of crossing your fingers on every generation.
If you make short-form video, a test clip is worth your time.
What does it cost?
Luma runs on credits. Individual plans are Plus at $30 a month, Pro at $90 and Ultra at $300, with 10,000, 40,000 and 150,000 credits.
Here's what that looks like in practice:
Layers: 75 credits per image at 1K and 150 at 2K. On Plus, that's roughly 22 and 45 cents.
A regular image edit: 30 credits, so Layers costs more per image.
A ten-second Ray3.2 clip: 300 credits at 720p, about 90 cents on Plus, and 1,200 at 1080p, about $3.60.
One thing to check before you subscribe is whether each edit inside Layers counts as a new image. If it does, those cheap-looking edits can add up quickly.
Credit costs also change as Luma updates its models, so confirm on the pricing page first.
Is it for you?
Try it if you keep revising the same images, or turn one design into several versions. That's where Layers pays off.
Skip it if you mostly make one-off images and rarely touch them again. Regular generation costs less, and you won't use the feature that makes Luma different.

Two Pro-tips for Using Luma Layers
Tip 1 — Draft before you finish. Test video in draft mode first. Only pay for 1080p once the shot is locked.
Tip 2 — Layers last. Get the image close with regular edits (30 credits), then use Layers (75+) only on the approved version.
A CRM so smart, it updates itself.
HubSpot's CRM is so smart, it now updates itself. Calls get logged and summarized the moment they end. New leads get researched and a first outreach drafted, automatically. Deals move forward on their own, with next steps flagged before you have to ask.
Even the one repetitive task you've been meaning to fix can now run itself, no code required. Customers using it are already seeing the difference.
This isn't the CRM you have to work hard to figure out. It's the one already working before you log in.
