Luminar 2018 - Make perfect photos in less time

Luminar just keeps getting better and this one is no exception! New filters and new tools enable me to use Luminar as a standalone application. I am very happy with how fast and easy Luminar is to use and I can get the professional results that I'm looking for.

Pros:

Wonderful new filters including the capability to use LUTs

Cons:

Waiting for Digital Asset Management solution (which should be next year)

Super product. It’s about to become my go-to editor as soon as the DAM is complete.

Pros:

Easy to use, great results !

Cons:

Still a few issues to iron out

The problem with this apps, including Apple’s own, is that because 2017 is the year “AI” buzz word, the morons with cash, venture capitalists, think that if a product does not have AI and deep learning somehow attached to it can’t be successful, everyone ends finding an excuse to add AI and deep learning tag to their software when to honestly put an AI seal to any software it would need to have passed at least the Turing test but this is another whole story. Current snapshot photography is better than ever and could look better than ever, never before people had access to such powerful snapshot cameras and they tend to carry them everywhere, their phones, we have made a gigantic leap forward in photography but “le mode” of using a thousand presets is its more important threat yet, in the hands of most photographers it simply takes away their individuality, making them have the same look everyone else’s. That it's why I not only can't support but despise the type of apps that not just copy but elevate what Instagram popularized for sharpshooters. Renouncing to their individuality in exchange to be part of a mass of homogeneous average shooters.
