You can't go wrong with Luminar, nice software, works great as a standalone or PS/LR plugin but, be aware, stay in version 4.2 as the newest one, 4.3, is buggy to a point that some (myself included) are not being able to pass the splash screen. As an IT professional I know it happens sometimes and will be fixed but don't venture to 4.3 as of yet, subscribe but let them know you want 4.2 for now.

I do not concur, 4.3 sped up functioning and added VALUE features .I first used it on my i3 16 gig six year old WIN 10 and about one out of ten times opening time was excessive. However, on my i5 16gig and my Ryzen 7 16 gig WIN 10 PRO, I can say the only issue I have is an occasional, in my opinion, excessive export time; probably due to the 40 meg plus files.
Bottom line, most of the time, my workflow is quicker and results more satisfactory than using LR. I did install the standalone download, rather than the streaming install.
