Free Luminar from Viewbug

I got an email from Viewbug the other day offering me a huge discount on the pro version, which included Luminar. Discount was 83%, which ended up being $38.99 for the first year. I struggled for awhile then accepted. I thought why not, It was Luminar 3, but the cost of Luminar alone was worth it (I think, we will see), and I have a year to decide if I like the Viewbug Pro or not. I'll just use it as a plug in for Lightroom.

Did any one else get this offer and take it. It will give me another toy to learn (I don't have enough toys ) .

Luminar 4 is far superior to Luminar 3.

Viewbug was $38.99 (usually LOT more). Luminar was the 🥕 they used to entice people to sign up or update, offering it free. I knew it would not be the current version, but did not care, as I use Lightroom. It was just a nother you for me.

I'm still wondering why I subscribe to Viewbug.

Back in April Skylum was giving version 3, full version, free without buying any extras. If the $39.99 wasn't a subscription it would be a better del IMHO

The program is not subscription, Viewbug is.

You either join or upgrade Viewbug account, thus the cost. I've had a Viewbug account for a few years, free one. Cant really tell much by a free account. So I upgraded to check it out and see why they want $500/year. So far I can't see it.
