Luminar Neo…what am I missing?

Went to use it last night only to discover there is no filmstrip option in Edit mode…only Catalogue mode. THAT’S CRAZY!

A search online appeared to verify that. OK, they’re in Ukraine, I get it. But how do you release yet another version with this important component missing?!

Without it you have to constantly click back and forth between Edit and Catalogue to bring in a new image. I work on entire albums at a time, not one image per edit.

Needless to say, I am annoyed and went back to my prior editing program.

I don't know how they could have missed that? I am impressed that they even bother working on it considering what they are dealing with.

True…they are apparently in a quieter area, as per their website mentioned.

In catalogue view select the images you want in your filmstrip. Go to edit and the filmstrip will be there

I think I have the latest version of Neo v 1.0.2.....however when I'm in catalog view and select images I want to show in edit.....click on View and the "Show Film Strip" command is grayed out and will not function? Only one photo at a time shows up in Edit? (I've also tried to reload the program....but the "Show Film Strip" commands still doesn't function. Any thoughts?

Exactly my issue. It appears to be missing this function.

I wonder if there is a difference between the standalone and plug-in versions of the program? I use version 1.0.2 as a stand alone program in Windows 11. I'm assuming that what you are trying to do is make the same changes across a subset of your catalogue images. What I do is select the images I want to work on from the catalogue. Group them into a new (temporary) album. Display the new album (ie the film strip) in catalogue. Take the first one across to "edit" make the changes I want then go back to the catalogue and "copy edits". Take the next image across to edit and "paste edits". That way it reproduces the same changes to the subsequent images in the new album. I do look at each image and make additional individual small changes before I export them to my archives.
In my version there is no "show film strip" command, so despite the version numbers being the same it would appear that there are differences in the software we are using.

Despite Skylum being in Ukraine, I have had to contact them with a question and they were very responsive helping me. I hope you are able to resolve your problems.

While the roots of the company are tied to the Ukraine, some of the project management/marketing/development is handled here in the US. They have footprints in Washington and New York.

This is a company that I have said many times over has some very creative thinkers but they just don't listen to their customers and except for the simplest of issues, they don't do very good customer support. They are in their own ether.

Yes, but batch processing in Edit is not available.
