i just installed it... it's a glorified "filter" pack. You can adjust the intensity of the filter, etc... but there's no "AI" here. It's literally just different "Presets" like "Big City Lights" which just adds a warming hue and decreases the exposure while blasting the contrast. It's like Instagram filters, but in a program for your PC.

Useful if you don't have other photo editing software I suppose, but anyone expecting "AI" or any other kind of "magic" anything at all, this is ain't that. It's just basic color correction software with a bunch of presets.

FYI, this is more than a glorified filter pack. Yes, there are templates you can choose from to quickly give your photo a predefined look. It goes deeper though. There's an "edit" mode that has a limited number of AI sliders and many other non-AI sliders to make fine-tune adjustments. Just be aware that the functionality of Luminar AI has been largely replaced by the newer Luminar Neo, so don't expect many updates to the AI application. For a better idea of what Luminar AI can do, there are a lot of tutorials on YouTube. FYI, I own and have used both applications.

I've used both AI and luminar 4 and still have both. If you use the batch editing feature in luminar 4, you maybe disappointed with luminar AI as it does not have batch editing

For AI benefits for photo editing, I've been using DxO PureRAW 2 for a lot of images that have very high dynamic range (ex: sunny photos with very strong shadows, or lowlight.

Doesn't do the editing for you, but it does let you use the software of your choice to edit it. Demosaics and denoises the image for you and helps recover a lot of DR.

They have their own editing software (PhotoLab 6) with a newer version of the AI engine, and it's faster and a bit better at retrieving fine details, but if you just want to batch process a ton of photos, PureRAW 2 works fine. Just takes a long time, so budget for that.

Adobe's Sensei has a lot of benefits too; supersizing an image without losing resolution, AI subject selection, etc.

Skylum used to be known as MacPhun back when they made plug-ins for Lightroom/Photoshop. They made some really good software and I used a number of them regularly. But they changed their name to Skylum and their focus to the Luminar product and they became much less interesting. The plug-ins I used no longer run on the latest OS and I really didn't care for early versions of Luminar so I haven't given them any of my money in awhile. But I'll try this version for free. I don't expect to add it to my workflow but you never know.

I installed it but it doesn't launch. Application crashes and closes before it even loads. Any way to fix this? TY.

Tons of alternatives for those hating on Skylum....

It's free, useful for those that can use its features, but like any tool, it won't do Everything.

Got Luminar 4 for free last year. I use it for quick mods and it has been nice for that due to the simplicity. Have been using Nikon's NX photo editor for other more complex things. I'm sure Luminar can do similar things but have not spent the time to figure it out.

Don't mind getting Luminar AI for free.

Is advertisement. This is not the latest product. They want you to get into their ecosystem to sell you their latest product.
