I own/use Luminar 2018, version 1.3.2. (5560)....running on a MacBook Pro. How is my version different from Luminar 3? Will I be getting the free upgrade?


-----------
If you bought Luminar 2018 the upgrade to Luminar 3 is free. If you didn't get an email with the download link, try signing into your account and check you purchased software and Luminar 3 should be listed with a link to download it.

When you check for updates from Luminar 2018, you would only see an update for that version and not Luminar 3. If you didn't get an email try signing into your account and under your software you should see Luminar 3 listed with a download link.

I use Luminar 2018 on my MacBook Pro (late 2013), with good results. I downloaded the Luminar 3 Installer, selected "Install" and then...it gets to 100% and freezes. See screen shot. Nothing clicks through - any ideas?

It's getting sorted. It will take time. Most software is the same (photographic or other). Chill out. It's only software. You won't lose your photos.

I had many crashes with the first version of Luminar 3 but after downloading the update I used it fairly intensely for about and hour and a half and had no issues at all. I have the Mac version.

Me too. The update is running pretty well on my Mac Mini late 2012 16GB RAM. It also seems to be less "RAM hungry". I'm very relaxed it will get sorted. Then we'll all be happy!

I have an old Macbook Pro, mid 2012, with 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7, 8gig RAM. I have no problems with Luminar 3, it read my more than 5,000 photos fairly quickly except for crashing once in a while and picture turning red for a few seconds which, hopefully, have been addressed on this new update. I tried the new update this morning and it seemed to be working really well. The biggest complaint I have which could be a deal breaker for me is the very slow exporting even using the short edge jpg. It usually takes a 42-megapixel photo about 1 minute to export using the short edge. If I use original it will take at least 5 minutes that's without layers; it takes a little longer with layers. And this is happening despite using an SSD drive. I don't know if any of you Mac users are experiencing this. Compared to Lightroom or Capture One v.12 exporting is very quick--just about a few seconds. It's a deal breaker because although editing in Luminar works really great and quick, exporting delays my work so much, wasting so much of my time.

Having been through numerous software upgrades while in the business world, I will just say that testing before Any upgrade can Never cover all situations. Bugs are ‘normal’ and usually addressed rapidly.

Kudos to Skylum for providing Luminar3 while Not removing Luminar2018. My Luminar3 did not work perfectly, but I still had 2018 to use while the bugs are being addressed.


I have to agree with your first statement after being instrumental in setting up a new computer software system for 5 hospitals.

As to your second statement, I had problems with Luminar2018 and went back to Lightroom. I’m curious to see if the new version is better.
