Luminar keeps getting better and better

I've been using Luminar as a plug in with the original 2017 and the 2018 versions. This new version of Luminar 3 now has the ability to create its own Catalog. Wooooo!!!!! That in itself is amazing! The current version I've been using for the last few weeks is 3.0.2. I just got notified a new update is available unfortunately my internet connection is slow enough that I've not downloaded it yet. Apparently Facial recognition is in the pipeline. So my usual catalog program is Lightroom. However with this new version of Luminar building in a catalog is making me rethink how I work with my images. For sure the Luminar catalog is not as powerfull as Lightroom at this point. But Skylum has an amazing record of innovation and they listen to their users about problems and feature requests. It takes time to build in a lot of the advanced features, but from what I've seen Skylum is rapidly advancing their software whereas other more established companies (adobe) seem to ignore user feedback and haven't added any significant features to their software in quite some time. So, about Luminar I'm liking the ease of the "Looks". Also creating and saving your own looks is really simple. At this point the Catalog is off to a good start, but needs some more work to make it really useful. For instance there currently is no way to create custom searches that I can find. Also no way to edit metadata. My hope is that this will show up in future versions. The edit tab has super useful tools that I've never found in other software. Looks like Accent Filter, Sky Enhancer, Remove Colour cast. And it has a built in LUT Mapping feature. The best part of the Edit tab is I can chose exactly which tools I want to appear, and even save that setup for future use. And the best part of Luminar is still present. The ability to create Layers. Such an important tool for photo editing yet noticeably absent in lightroom. Do I recommend buying Luminar? Absolutely. It has powerful tools for image editing even if used as a plugin with Lightroom. And with the increasing feature set it is on its way to becoming a complete stand alone catalog and editing platform.

Great photo editing for everyone

I am a huge fan of the Aurora HDR software that Skylum makes so I decided to try their Luminar photo editing. I found it easy to use with great results. I really love the presets or looks that the software allows you to add to any image quickly with great results. They also can act a a great starting point allowing you to tweak the images to get them exactly as you want. All in all a great image editing product.

Powerful & easy to use photo editing software

I highly recommend Luminar by Skylum Software for photo editing. The often time-consuming and tedious task of editing photos is made easier by Luminar's many pre-sets. Can even create your own. There are several innovative sliders that provide maximum creativity for editing, including AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Sky AI. I especially like their Tone slider that has allowed me to recover many images too dark for other approaches. The fact that I can work on layers allows me to provide specific edits on my images. All in all, this tool makes photo editing fun!

Simply Incredible Software

This is a powerful tool to add to your Photoshop skills. In my opinion, this easily replaces any need for Lightroom. There are so many adjustments and variables, it takes time to learn them all, and that could take months. But it is months of fun. The AI is incredible and easy to use. Finding your personal workflow will take time, but the results are amazing.

It is a code that you have to put in on there website, and it can only be used once.

As a photographer I use the luminar 2018 program every day and I love it. If you are wondering what it can do check out my photos on Instagram @caleb_onthank. It is much better than adobes programs and cheaper too. Love the program. Totally give it five stars.

Great Product, Many Features, Excellent Price Point

I have been using Luminar since it’s introduction. It is a very powerful, yet, easy to use product that has many unique features to enhance your images. There are many training videos you can find on the Skylum web site and YouTube to help you increase your knowledge using this product. In addition to the product, Skylum offers an excellent and quick responsive support team and continues to improve the product with new and improved capabilities. I strongly recommend adding this product to your work flow.

I really like it

I really like this software, as a new photographer it's pretty easy to use and to get the hang of. I think most of the negative reviews are people who don't have the specs on their pc/laptop to run it. I installed it on a plain jane laptop and it processed real slow and constantly crashed, but when I installed it on a better gaming laptop it ran just fine

Fantastic Editing

Love this software. Easy to use interface, not a ton of unnecessary stuff that will never be used and just a great product all around

LUMINAR 2018

Far better than PS or Lightroom. The hottest new product in photo editing.
