Nice features added to Luminar

Yesterday I downloaded Luminar 4.2 and tried the new features of AI Augmented Sky, Shine Removal Technology, and Slim Face 2.0. It also has a new Face Features Detection Network that I found works much better to detect any faces in a photo. Skylum claims "... regardless of position, skin tone or unusual features." So far, it located the faces in my test photos. I like the shine removal as it sees to work well and saves me time from doing it the old way.

This is a free upgrade thankfully for those already having Luminar 4.

I have Luminar 4.1.0 (5191) installed on my windows pc. Oddly, when I "check for updates", I get "Luminar 4.1.0 (5191) is currently the newest version available".

I just got mine yesterday so it seems they are rolling it out in batches. I know Mac was released before Windows and I believe different areas of the world were also staggered.

I had this issue with L4 when it first came out and had to contact them for help. They sent me a link to force the update. This time the 4.2 update worked without issue. I'm on a MSI Windows laptop. If yours doesn't update contact them and see if you have a similar issue.

Try uninstalling 4.1. Restart computer. Then go to Skylum website and you account. Download 4.2. Worked for me after not updating from inside 4.2. I understand they are using a new loader which is the problem I expect.
