Luminar

Fantastic alternative to PS and LR. For amateurs and professionals alike. Seriously, give it a try

It is nice as you can use AI and get quite good result.
However the app is using too much marketing. For instance they promote a new revolution software called Luminar AI which in reality is a couple of new models added. So it s rather an update of luminar 4 than a big improvement. Same story is true from luinar3 to luminar4.
Another big issue is speed. Even with a recent machine it takes ages to save a picture and they do not use the gpu at all unless lightroom...

Looks like a well made product, with some powerful features that are easy to use, but all of these features they're promoting are for drastically changing your images (IMO). I do plenty of compositing and extreme changes to my own and others' photos, but this program seems to promote modifying the base image in your typical workflow, vs slightly adjusting the curves/white balance. Nothing wrong with it, but it just grinds my gears for some reason if people are putting a lot of time into the photography itself to then use something like this and replace the entire sky, turn an overcast day into a sunset, and then pass it off as the original shot. I know how "get off my lawn" I sound, but can't help it.
Very cool program though, haha!

The editing capabilities are quite good. It has some filters and effects that would require significant work in other applications.

But they over-marketed and over-sold their digital asset mgmt (think catalog) in 2017. They failed to deliver it until a year later and even then it is not a true DAM. Users are very angry with Skylum, and many including me have gone to another product for DAM. I still use it as a plug in.
