The most innovative photo editor made for everyone. With Luminar 3 photo editing can be fun and simple. Over 100 editing features, plus a suite of fast AI-powered technologies under the hood will make any photo stand out while a new Library feature lets you organize, find and rate your images easily.
It's way easier and faster to produce a vivid web-ready image with Luminar compared to my Lightroom Classic experience
Pros:Luminar is intuitive and I particularly like the embedded filters collection, they match my taste quite a lot
Cons:It's somewhat sluggish around large (1000+) collections of RAWs
An excellent photo editing app for all users
Pros:Great product, great team, great AI, and no subscription
Cons:none
I purchased this before the release with the hope of finding a viable LR alternative. Luminar 2018 was at least stable and had some positive editing features. The Skylar forums are filled with frustrated Mac and Windows users from date of release onward. My advice, wait and see how a dot release (or two!) come out before spending money and time.
Pros:Great potential.
Cons:This is not a production release in my opinion. A plethora of usability and resource issues. Feels much more like a beta than a 3.X release.
New Luminar with Libraries is GREAT! Thank you folks at Skylum for the awesome product! For sure, it is not perfect with the first libraries release, but looks like a perfect Lightroom alternative in the nearest future.
Pros:AI powered editing tools, easy to use, sync edit adjustments, smart support team
Cons:Updated version looks good, but has lots of things to be fixed
It's the must have product for photo lovers and professionals
Pros:extremely fast and powerful editor
Cons:cool and mature product. I don't see any cons
I've been using Luminar as a RAW photo editor since it came out in 2016 and it just keeps getting better and better. This latest version is a fantastic step forward with even more advanced AI-powered tools, cool and instant-on "Looks", and of course the new library. I've been pleasantly surprised by the visual presentation of my photos - really sweet - and the performance is astounding. Luminar has been my go-to photo editor for years, and now it's my go-to photo manager. Skylum's commitment to making this the best, most enjoyable photo manager/editor in the world is obvious. Goodbye Lightroom!
Pros:Gorgeous UI, fast results, but superb "under-the-hood" power and creative possibilities!
Cons:None really
