The new Lumen portal brings modern design, faster workflows, and a unified user experience to brands
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PhotoShelter, the leading digital asset management (DAM) platform, today announced the general availability of its new Lumen portal user interface (UI), completing the company's modernization of the PhotoShelter for Brands experience across the library, workspaces, and now customers' public-facing portals. The Lumen experience is the most modern and intuitive DAM on the market, giving organizations a more visual way to showcase assets and help users find what they need faster.
Across the DAM category, public-facing portals have struggled to keep pace with how organizations actually discover and navigate content today. Many fall short of modern design standards, mobile usability, and streamlined workflows—creating friction when brands are trying to make their strongest impression. PhotoShelter's Lumen portal addresses this challenge by simplifying the experience for invited users, strengthening brand presentation, and enabling organizations to share content more confidently and efficiently.
Key features and improvements include:
- A more intuitive, modern design: The Lumen portal aligns with the updated Lumen library experience, reducing friction between what library staff see and what invited users receive.
- New features that make content easier to find: Lumen introduces enhanced view options, new sort tools, expanded metadata visibility, and improved filtering—including the ability to filter AI Visual Searches by metadata.
- Improved accessibility and mobile compatibility: A refreshed UI ensures users can browse and search with fewer obstacles.
- A faster foundation for future innovation: The updated back end allows PhotoShelter to build and release new features more quickly, accelerating innovation for customers.
- Support for a smooth transition: Training, updated support resources, and in-product guidance helped customers explore the new UI and share feedback throughout the rollout.
"For many organizations, the public-facing DAM portal is where their brand meets the world. And our customers told us they needed a simpler, more intuitive, modern way to showcase their visual assets," said Andrew Fingerman, CEO of PhotoShelter. "With Lumen, we've delivered a cleaner, easier, and more flexible portal, helping creative teams discover and take action on visual content at the speed that today's market demands. And, this leap forward also gives the PhotoShelter team the foundation to innovate faster than ever."
Today's launch completes the unification of PhotoShelter's updated UI across all major product areas. PhotoShelter will continue expanding the Lumen experience with new features available exclusively on the new interface.
During the open beta period, PhotoShelter incorporated customer feedback and usability insights to refine the experience ahead of GA. Existing customers may continue to toggle between the Classic and Lumen portals as needed.
