Still, there are quirks in even this latest version, and I'm hoping that Skylum will listen to users and eliminate some of the restrictions placed on the way Luminar works.Īdobe needs serious competition. For editing images, Luminar is a first-class application. Luminar hasn't yet, but I'm hoping they will.

On1 and other editors have figured this out.

Yes, I can turn it off, but it should be on a software switch so I can launch without seeing it. Personally, I like to do my own editing, not use canned pre-sets, so I don't like to see that forced on me.

Many pro and semi-pro photographers will want to control their own workflow, and not be forced into working the way an app designer insists you work.Īnother gripe is that when you launch Luminar, the "Looks" feature is a default, taking too much of your screen space. Worse, if you want to use Luminar as only an editor, you can't without setting up a catalog first. I know Skylum is really high on their cataloging/library functions, but it still doesn't compare to Lightroom.

I tried Luminar 3.02 on my Mac and it seemed well behaved. I've also been impressed with the Sun ray renderer, which gives realistic results. Along with all the regular editing tools, The AI Sky Enhancer is very impressive. The really good features are still in this latest Luminar.

It was odd that Luminar did not support integration between its two biggest selling applications in the first Luminar 3 release. The Aurora integration is most welcome, although it's only on the Mac side at present. Aurora HDR integration: Users can now send their photos to Aurora HDR, allowing them to merge bracketed photos and take advantage of Aurora’s powerful HDR features.Improved handoffs: If users are working with RAW or 16-bit image files and use the File > Open In command, a high-quality 16-bit file is exported.Preference panel: Users can control preferences for Cache, Catalog and Automatic Backup.Database management: Luminar image catalog databases are now automatically backed up to preserve edits and metadata.Adding folder improvements: Users can now cancel the addition of folders.Shortcut keys: New keyboard shortcuts are available for View, Looks Navigation, Masks, Tools and Edit.
