Macphun released their new editing software Luminar. Initial reviews gives it a thumbs up. It is a stand alone editing app, but can also be used as a plug-in to Lightroom and photoshop. My initial review also gives it a thumbs up but at this time, not a replacement for Lightroom (although many have hinted that it appears to be targeting Lightroom as an option (although they do not have any features for managing/organizing photos and is strictly an editor.

If you are interested in seeing what other UHH members are learning about Luminar, or if you have purchased and testing the software, we ask all interested UHH members to post their question or experiences as a new topic on the forum.

I have it but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I'll try to get to it this week and see what happens.

I just started playing with it today. It seems pretty good, it did a good job with an overly dark photo I used it on. I'll want to spend more time with it, but so far so good. As well as a plug in for LR & PS it can be used as an extension for Photos For Mac which is how I have it set up.

Also just got it loaded but haven't had a chance to do very much. Did poke around a little and the interface is pretty straight forward. A lot of presets with quite a bit of control for adjustments. I'll get more into it in the next few days but, so far, looks like a Keeper.
