you answered my earlier question - about using Photoshop. I see you used Luminar 4 and not Photoshop if I am reading this correctly.

i like the framed look, and the clouds look great. clouds add interest & depth to an otherwise boring blue sky. nice!

I love the framed version. Question: Is the ImageFramer program "free" or "paid?" I see two different pages with one free and one paid starting at $39.95...??? And do you use the PC or Mac version?

You made it an outstanding photo in #2. BTW, I stayed at the Yaquina Inn many years ago and managed to shoot that lighthouse. The Oregon coast is a photographer's paradise.

I am using ImageFramer Pro and the cost is approximately $79 or $80. I found the Lite version quite limited and that is why I sprang for the more powerful version.

I am using the Mac version.

Physlab, thanks for this info. I have a monthly subscription to Lightroom/Photoshop for $10.61 a month. I might be better off with only Luminar 4 becasue I never use Photoshop and I use Lightroom only once in a while. I am just a casual user and a monthly subscription is really a waste of money for me. Luminar 4 would be fine for me.

I would sign up for Luminar Neo as it will contain all the goodies of Luminar 4 and Luminar AI.

The reason I continue with Lightroom is that I have 20 years of keywording tied to my images. That is difficult to give up.

Luminar, as yet, does not have the power of keywording. I use Luminar as an app with Lightroom. What this means is that I find the image in Lightroom, make a few adjustments and then call up Luminar AI from Lightroom. After making my final enhancements using Luminar, I save the enhanced photo and it is returned to the Lightroom catalogue.

Luminar can be used either as an app within Lightroom or as a stand alone program. Sounds like you want to use it as a stand alone. It works very well that way.

I have a shot of that lighthouse somewhere in my archives. The Oregon coast is a great place to find lighthouses.

Wow. What a pleasing difference your changes made

Excellent editing and a marked improvement. I too, like the frame in #2 but the sky replacement was key in elevating this image.
I really appreciate what you've shown here! Thanks so much!

Great second image (not that the first image is shabby), but would prefer a much smaller frame, or, even better, no frame at all.

I am very impressed with the changes. I like the frame.
