No it was uncalled for. You took it from a question that maybe needed more information to a sarcastic mocking response.

First rule of every public forum site I have been on, is it you cannot say something nice, don't say anything at all. CycleSpeed pointed out in the post before that that more information was needed and I replied.

You tried to mock the question, implying the use of over 19 year old computer using 5.25 floppy dissc. That was not needed.

In reviews of the Luminar program various reviewers have noted it was sluggish. I have it on two computers and it is sluggish compared to PS Elements and LR.
In November Luminar 3 has had a problem with the program giving owners a reading that it could not import pictures due to lack of disk space on a persons computer. I had over 500 Gigs in my computer and the program would not import photos. While I received good technical support, it took a while to get it corrected.

Getting it corrected involved the following
Download AppCleaner from here (click this text to open link).
Install AppCleaner and start it.
Drag Luminar from your Applications folder into the AppCleaner window. When removing Luminar, mark all the files and folders in the list, except for DPA6233TPQ.com.macphun.luminar3.
Once you've uninstalled Luminar, restart your Mac and download a fresh version of Luminar from here (click this text to open link).

Maybe my question did not fit your guidelines of what a good question should be, but you decided to react with sarcasm that was not needed.

If you cannot say something nice, keep you hands off the computer keys and don't type anything at all. Wait it out.

Perhaps - but you don't make it easy for folks here to help with your issues if you don't provide much information on the hardware you are using.

I've used L3 for some time now and have never had an issue of running out of disk space. How large a HD are you using, how much RAM, what type computer - Win or Mac...

To make the reader assume is unfair...and you can't expect much useful help with so limited information.

...and frankly I think the comment is called for if it will help wake up readers to think about what they are asking and what kind of information might help another UHH reader to provide potential solutions.

I haven’t noticed it to be any faster than Luminar 3. In fact, my system has hung several times and once I end Luminar 4 in Task Manager the system comes back. I’m running Windows 10 on a 4 year old I 5, 16GB memory and 1TB SSD.

My PSE 14 runs much faster. Having been a software developer in a prior life I would consider L4 an upgrade over L3. There are a number of AI features added and they’ve redone the GUI. I’ll just say that for me personally with all the hype on L 4 I am a little disappointed with the release. Would I buy it again ($49 upgrade)? Yes, to me it’s still worth it.

It’s been my experience that when a young company like Skylum releases an upgrade, it takes 6+ months to shake out bugs and to improve overall system performance. You will be seeing . point releases. PS/LR are much more mature products and therefore more stable and perform well.

I’m personally going to hang in there with Luminar 4 for the next year or so and see how it goes. It’s still a very powerful program, especially for the money.

I am running Luminar 4 on a 27” iMac late 2013 model with 32 gig ram and 3 T hard drive. Luminar 4 runs much better and faster than 3 on my setup. It isn’t lightning fast but my computer is “old” in computer years. Version 3 was prone to crashing. Version 4 has only crashed once and I have been using it intensively since upgrading. I find the layout for editing tools much better. I have used the sky replacement to fill in washed out skies in pictures with limited amounts of sky area rather than replacing large areas of sky and the results are good. I did move all of my pictures to a single external drive, 1.8 T worth, and am not sure if having all data on one drive verses two is a speed factor or not.
