Just saw that Luminar 4 is being offered for free.

I don't know how long this is for. but it looks good.

it's not on the skylum.com site. I would be a bit cautious about malware from a secondary download site.

I downloaded and installed it. It seems fine.

I did also. It does seem fine. I like the sky replacement feature.

What a fool I was; how naïve of me. I should have known better. NOTHING is free!

It took a couple of days before I actually received the e-mail to download the "free" Mac version of Luminar 4. When I took the first step with the Installer, it prompted me: Please enter email for trial activation.

"Trial" means "free for a set number of days," not actually FREE.

Well, Topcat, it’s my fault for not noticing that you employed the phrase, "it looks good, i.e. that you hadn’t actually tried it yourself.

But then subsequently, you posted, "I did also. It does seem fine. I like the sky replacement feature."

So, giving you first the benefit of the doubt (unlike many members here who historically haven’t done so,) did you not mention that this URL you posted was merely a free trial because you didn’t notice it OR because you were so satisfied with it that you know you will ultimately purchase it?
OR is it possible that since you and kpmac downloaded it actually for free, the URL leads to an altered page that only offers a free trial?

Looking forward to your reply. 😉

I think that it was a trial to the AI version. I contacted them and they assured me that the Luminal 4 version was min with no limits.
I also wound up downloading the Luminar AI version, which was the trial version, which I deleted.

It just sign's you up for "spam" e-mails

You get Luminar 4, and you can opt-out of the emails. Not spam.

Bear123 Loc: Wild & Wonderful West Virginia

OK I downloaded it. Seems like they are giving you 4 and if you like it you might opt in for AI.

Thank you for your reply, topcat. Sorry, but I’m uncertain what you mean, based on my experience with the term trial when I looked into this matter? Specifically, does "get" mean you paid nothing for either Luminar 4 or Luminar AI indefinitely? You still retain one or both of these applications without paying now or in the near-future one red cent? 🤔

Thanks,
lev29 😊

I asked them, they told me that it was a permanent license for Luminar 4. Not a trial. Not AI, that you still have to buy. Luminar 4 is free.

Thanks for replying so quickly, topcat! By "them", are you referring to the Luminar company or the one responsible for the link you provided?

Once again, thank you.

Luminar. The link goes to Luminar.

Thank you. I’ll give it another try, assuming it’s still available.
