The link sent through e-mail by Skylum is a Setup file that calls home back to skylum and download the install files during the setup process. If you want to do an offline install use the link below provided by morph2_7:

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

Is this any better than what I can already do with google photos? I just do routine adjustments to photos usually, lighting adjustments, color balancing, and cropping mostly.

This is legit software and I just used Luminar 4 to edit some home-made school pix for the kids. Turned out great when sent out for printing and surprisingly fast to do some pretty advanced edits.

This freebie came from this (translation required if you don't speak German):

Yes, you click the tiny link that will "manually activate" with a license key. Then you copy/paste the license key provided and it will activate the full (non-trial) version.

Maybe a naive question but still asking!! Can this be used to edit and make passport photos which are accepted for Passports and Visas? That is the only use I can think of from this s/w for me so wanted to be sure before taking the hassle of downloading and trying it myself…TIA for any inputs!
There are many online tools for passport photos, such as

You should try a free 14 day trial of the following site if you only have few photos. It has Photo restoration, enhancement, animation, etc features which I found to be really good.

You can also try the following
