Luminar AI Customer Support?

Is it possible to reach a live technical support person at Skylum? The Technical support website is totally useless in terms of getting a question answered.

Yup...all done by "tickets." However, it is powerful software that is seriously inexpensive, but far from perfect.

They have responded by email very quickly on the 2 occasions I have requested help. Terrific software and getting better

Customer support is a disaster. Only via email. No warm bodies. Usually four days to get a response with a suggestion for a fix. If the fix doesn’t work it’s another four days for another recommendation.
Their newest version Luminar AI was extremely problematic for me. They finally gave up telling me to wait for the release of changes and fixes.
I love the product but I’m done with Skylum

Post your question here.. You can also go to YouTube to learn how to use Luminar if that's the problem

I quit Skylum a few years ago for the same reason — liked the product but appalled by support.

A couple years ago, maybe 3, I took advantage of a Skylum 2 for 1 special. It didn’t take long to feel like a beta tester and I decided to request a refund. Emails to their support address got me nothing except “give us time to address issues” replies. I found a forum (sorry, I’ve long since deleted where) where a sympathetic user gave me an Skylum employee’s address who I immediately emailed. Within a few days, I had my refund for Luminar and Aurora HDR. Good luck!

My experience as well. I'm going to guess that a lot of questions and dislikes are because Luminar AI uses a different terminology to accomplish results. I love it because I've never done post-processing before, and Luminar's "layman's vocabulary" is perfect for me.

I've used all versions and am still using the latest, AI. Over the years I have noticed a trend in seeing more people having issues with versions running on Windows platforms.
Before I would start counting the days for a reply I would use a good app delete software that gets all parts to be deleted and use the key # to download and reload Luminar. An IT friend uses this method for many different apps on both Mac and Windows platforms.

I get quick response (within 24 hrs) by email unless I send it on Saturday. Then get answer by Monday. My problem with the software is while they tweak the software on upgrades, they redesign the layout and many of the words every time. I ask them to keep things formatted in the same place and tell us where the improvements are in each area.

I have created a couple of tickets and they are quick to respond. I have even received a phone call when question was more than a Email explanation would allow. They also have a membership group where they do extra training. They also give away templates. You can sometimes get that for 59.00 per year during sales.
