I've previously gotten screwed buying through the Apple (cr)App store when a developer stopped using it for publishing apps and had to buy them over again. Going directly through Serif for this. Thanks OP!
I've been using this for years now and it is a fantastic photoshop replacement. This is a great deal, highly recommended.
This is a competitor for Photoshop, not Lightroom.
And from everything I heard its really good. I was waiting for a deal on this. Thanks OP!

I feel the same way. Paying one time for this is really enticing, but Lightroom is still so much stronger for anything more than a few photos at a time.

Luminar is your anwser to the Lightroom replacement for a non-subscription based product. Plus or has some unique features that don't exist in Lightroom. They also use A. I for a lot of the editing modules that help with quick edits.

I use DxO Photolab. The big attraction for me is the auto correct for lens aberrations. On full auto, it usually gets me 90% adjusted to what I want.

Free trial:

I'm just not interested in any more monthly payments.

For what it is worth the Windows and iPad versions are also on sale, $24.99 and $9.99 respectively....correction, looks like they are running the 50% off sale across the board on their products., including Designer, which is also a pretty good Illustrator alternative.

Don't beat me up too bad! I use Photos on my iMac for editing, and typically edit a few pics at a time. I don't feel need for Adobe series yet, is this an upgrade from what I'm using? Thanks!
