Luminar Ai has been out since late 2020 now. Its April 2021 now. Go to Skylum's website and thoroughly check out the differences in Ai version and this version 4. There are big differences, some of which you will not like. Looks are now templates, be sure to import from v4 (3 won't work) as you install Ai. They will reside in the 'legacy' folder and you will not see a hierachy therein nor there icons, just a loooong list of yours and import presets. You also CANNOT import your library here. You will have to start from scratch again.....ugh. You however will most likely like the Ai introduced in this new version, its quite amazing. Sticking with LR myself for library purposes and Ai AND 4 for as plugins.
It has potential, but has several shortcomings as well. I like Luminar 4 for its ability to go through major image overhauls fairly quickly. Sky swap is the biggest & best feature. The ability to browse through LUTs is also very nice.
One bug I recently noticed in the Portrait mode is that if you use the Slim Face or Enlarge Eyes sliders it "blurs" the eyes considerably. It's easy to see the difference when you toggle with the preview button. It's too bad because those are sort of nice features for portrait retouching. As it stands the sliders are unusable if you care about eye sharpness in your portraits.
Like the product, hate the company. The new Luminar AI is really just an upgrade of Luminar 4, but no upgrade pricing available because they say AI is a new product - not an upgrade. I paid $79 last year for Luminar 4 and now they want another $79 for the NEW Luminar. Then when you go to buy it the default is actually $99...it's set for TWO licenses and unless you investigate and check that obscure one license box they grab an extra $20 for a license you may not need. And don't get me started on the daily spam, or the DAM they promised 3 years ago. It's a shame because I like it, but I'm done with this company and moving on to Pixelmator Pro (I'll live without the sky replacement)
Sehr übersichtliche und leicht zu verstehende App. Hatte ich mir für meinen MacPro 5,1 geholt. Funktioniert wunderbar und für mich reicht die Free Version aus.
I think this is an amazing post and it is useful and learned. In this manner,
I might want to thank you for the undertakings that you have made recorded as a hard copy this article.
All the substance is completely very much explored. Much appreciated
The Banktivity program has preformed well in the past but recently has stopped downloading the Australian share prices stating that the company they are now using has not included the Australian stock market. They should be putting more emphasis of this issue as Australian partons are not particularly happy with the progress in resolving this problem.
this VPN is really amazing as it's come in budget and its runs over 3000 server when i traveled this helps me a lot i can watch anything anytime without any disturbance it also gives me a good speed. when i started using VPN. i gathered lots of information about it this may help you <a href="https://topvpnprovider.blogspot.com/">bestvpnproviders</a>
sucks because i can download it and open file but how the hell do i get it to run and this is the same shit im having with my canon printer or any update files i can download and open them but how do i make them run and be there so i can use them automatically or use them at all cause i constantly get bombed with upgrade this and that and i download and open but they are not running or im doing something wrong
Let me introduce you to Luminar 4. It is so far superior to Luminar 3 that it is starling. Here's a prime example…Luminar 3 would periodically become unstable or even crash when Batch Processing too many pieces (Over 60). Luminar 4 was just able to resize and run the AI filter simultaneously on 280 pieces with no effort at all! The process was very quick and I was able to run Quark at the same time along with Mail and Safari being active in the background with no hesitation or complaint. If you currently have Luminar 3 when you install 4 it will appropriate the Luminar 3 Library, Folders etc with no disruption or alteration. All of 3's functions remain undisturbed. You will not have to reinstall the brushes into 4 as the brushes in 3 are immediately available to you. DO NOT buy from the App Store because it will be sandboxed which will decrease the flexibility and eventually cause a host of other problems. Finally the Support people are simply amazing.
When they rolled out Luminar 3 around the beginning of the year, it was slow and buggy. The last couple of updates to 3.1.2 seem to have solved some of these problems, but they've made no progress on their promises from 2018 that Luminar 3 would support DAM (digital asset management) and allow users to add metadata to images, which is fundamental if you want to be able to find them again.
So, I was surprised to get an e-mail with a time-limited offer to pre-order Luminar 4. They haven't even delivered on the promises made before the previous version and they're rolling out a new version. It sounds like a company in over its head saying, "We know we promised metadata entry, but that's boring. Look! We have a new program where you can replace the sky in your photos! All you have to do is pay us $50." This kind of behaviour sets off alarms because it's often followed by announcements such as, "We know we promised to implement DAM and metadata entry, but it was harder than we thought, so we've decided to focus our efforts on making Luminar 4 the best software ever. All you need to do is pay us $50 and you can join us on this exciting journey."
If you haven't bought it, I'd advise hanging on to your money until they figure out what they're doing.
This software is sooooo easy to use. I love the fact that you have all the presets to choose from instead of having to experiment with a bunch of different and seemingly unrelated sliders. It takes only a few minutes to enhance a photo as opposed to other photo editing software which you almost have to have a PhD to know how to use.
I would recommend all Skylum products because they pay attention to detail. Their products allow you to transform images into fantastic works of art in a very short time. You do not need to be a professional photo editor to get great looks with Skylum leading the way.
Easy to use, great results, even if you only use the presets. Catalogue function also very easy to handle, even if you have large amounts of pictures. Recommended for everybody, who doesn't want to spend his time with reworking pictures but going out and take some....
The software is doing exactly what was promised and it is getting better with each upgrade. Easy and fun to use; several easy ways to do creative artistry without a lot of difficulty.
New Luminar 3.1.1 update brings usability and speed improvements. With this update, you can expect improved launch times, better reliability and more to make your workflow easier and more reliable.
Mac users can update to version 3.1.1 by choosing Luminar 3 in the top menu bar, and then clicking “Check for updates.”
Can't explain all the whining here but I'm new and BLOWN AWAY!!! Just lacks skewing, unless I haven't figured that out and lens correction. Even without it, I'll avoid the Adobe subscription. Thank you for a fabulous product!!!
I reverted to Luminar 2018 to edit my images and it can do some interesting things ; Luminar 3 is slow, buggy. Skylum should not have tried to be a replacement for LR.
I've been using Luminar since Nov. 2018 and have truly enjoyed the app. Luminar is truly an editing tool geared towards all level of photographers. A library panel to organize your images, convenient workspaces that provide recommend tools for your photography, and of course the Luminar Looks provide one-click tools to give you a great starting point on your editing.
The latest update has brought some improvements to Luminar. Performance speed has improved, a new backup created each time you open Luminar, improved RAW support, and (my favorite) Aurora HDR integration.
The support team at Skylum is always there to answer any questions you might have about the program, they also offer great Webinars and tutorials on the companies YouTube Channel to help you learn Luminar and enhance your photography and photo editing skills.
Luminar is a great editing tool for the price. You an download the program for a 30 day trial and see how you like the program.
Such shame. I have liked using Luminar since it came out. However, my experience with them has been dreadfully soured by their treatment of their customers since they base Skylum. I bought v2018 based on the expectation of the DAM component, which had been promised for early 2018.
They did manage to ease the pain a little by not charging again for v3, but as I understand it, they will be producing a chargeable v2020 at some point. Despite the advertising information stating that it's 'buy once, enjoy forever for free'. They use stealth upgrade tactics by renaming products to charge for upgrades. I'd rather they be honest, and say that version upgrades are chargeable (I have no issue with buying software and future upgrades, if they present reasonable value).
To the software itself, the DAM has failed to deliver compared to their initial promises, and they haven't listened to any concerns expressed in their forums over design matters that had been revealed.
Stability is painful at the moment, and it is pretty mush unusable for many users. You can make use of it as an extension by deleting the DAM library files though, which makes it stable enough for that.
It's a real shame, because once you do get it to work, it does a very good job of editing images, and has a plethora of excellent tools and presets.
Let's hope they can turn this around and deliver on their promises.
The very first thing this software tries to do is to connect to Google Analytics and Facebook Graph, which totally disqualifies it for any further testing.
Uninstalled immediately.
Right now with the inability to open any photo after the 3.0.1 update I can't give this product any positive ratings. This is also why I'm waiting to update my other existing products that I own from Skylum.
The new Luminar 3 asset management is a huge disappointment. Competes with Apple Photos rather than being an Aperture or Lightroom replacement. Lost opportunity ...
I tried it and it is very confusing, the tools section on the right is overloaded with different tools, many of them not exactly clear what they do. Too pricey for what it does. For $30 I'd consider.
I prefer understating a fact or at least, stating what you have clearly. I bit on the 2018 version as it now advertises using Photoshop plugin filters. I have perfectly clear which now operates as a stand alone or as photoshop plugin filters. I bit on the 2018 version upgrade and then found out, no, it really won't allow all Photoshop plugins, only the ones they wrote the code for - which turns out to be their own photoshop plug ins. What a rip. And the DAM feature promised for sometime this year? Well, not trusting too much after the fake photoshop filter advertisement.
Less overstating and marketing and more development please. I still gave two and a half stars as it’s good for what it already does. But, it’s not truthfully advertised and as such, half baked.
However the long promised Asset Management component has yet to appear. Still. It was promised with Luminar 2018, a fake promise so far. That's a problem for many of us who have stuck with Aperture in hopes of something better than Adobe Lightroom. At the least, it would be nice if the Skylum folks would be up front and tell us what's happening. We are tolerant folk. Otherwise must migrate over to Adobe shortly ... Aperture is aging and long in the tooth, increasingly a problem to use effectively.
