Experimenting with Luminar: I've been reading many positive reviews of this editing program so I thought I'd give it a try. I've always liked this photo but was never quite satisfied...

Lighting makes this very three-dimensional. Nice.

I have been using Luminar for over 9 months, and I prefer it over LightRoom

I use a variety of photo processing applications (Photoshop Elements, Luminar, DXO Photolab, etc). Luminar is a good product.

Your images are very good.

Very nice picture. Can you show it before PP and tell what you did in PP?

I too like Luminar, however, I have a tough time getting the photo out of Luminar in Jpeg format so I can use the finished product. Does anybody have a good procedure for transferring the photos in and out of Luminar?

I also have gotten good results with my limited use of Luminar.

For transferring in on the 1-st screen of Luminar Open image and do whatever you want, to transfer out to transfer it out File, Export and choose format and folder.

I've been using Luminar and have no intention of renting anything from Adobe. That said, terrific photo.
Not sure what the wolves are fixated on but its apparent it has their undivided attention.

I've never used LightRoom...but I hear it's a steep learning curve. After using Luminar, I can't see ever switching to anything else!

Thanks so much, Largobob! I've tried Paint Shop Pro, Nik Collection, Gimp...and I agree, Luminar is good!

Thank you, MMC! I will try to add the original to this reply. I can't recall the exact steps I used...I just manipulated the sliders until I ended up with what you see :)
