There is usually a use by date on the carton. Can you tell me what it is?

Well, it isn't free, but it is a one time buy, I am now using Luminar 2018, and soon will reload Lightroom
If you’re going to try Luminar make sure it runs on your computer first. I bought it, used it, got an update and it never ran again. I have a core i7 laptop, with 16 gig of ram. Everything else runs fine! After weeks of back and forth, finally promised a refund, but it’s been 2 weeks and still nothing. They are trying to get their software to run on a pc as well as it does on a Mac. Their programmers are doing things a bit sloppy which causes problems for many. If you google it you’ll find many, many people having the same problem.
I. Can not recommend this software!

Driving past the small private airport near my home, I’d say about 90% of the hundreds of aircraft landing there are propeller driven. When did you say they would be gone?

I would not base my opinion on Tony and Chelsea review, they had a very limited time with the camera. This is the review by the pro from Adorama, somebody who actually used the camera and he loved it.

I don’t get it. I don’t take any of these reviews as gospel. I’ll reserve my final judgement on my seeing the camera in hand and trying it myself. However, I am confused at the almost angry reaction in the Adorama videos above. It almost seemed like a “how dare you be disappointed about anything with this camera”. With every new camera release there is always something we wished for that wasn’t included, and with that a hint of disappointment. I was stunned by the reviewers anger at anyone who thought they needed a second card slot. He mostly shoots tethered so it makes no difference to him and therefore you shouldn’t care either! WOW!

Just a note:
The op mentioned he ordered an external battery for his flash, hoping this would help. I’m using a Nikon D850 and a sb910. I have an external battery and recently called them (quantum), to understand exactly what the external battery gives me. The only thing it provides is a faster recharge cycle. Without the external battery (3 seconds), with the battery (1 second). That’s with a 1/1 power setting. It won’t help with his original question.
I did find the discussion of sync speeds and power output settings above to be very informative and should help resolve his original questions.

First......Thanks for your service to our country. Sorry you also had problems. What I can’t figure out is why they stall about making a refund? The bad publicity they received can’t be helpful to sales. This isn’t a new, not seen before, error. Apparently they have been dealing with this for months, yet they still go in circles trying to delay the inevitable. The fact that they don’t plan on making any changes to resolve the problem means it won’t be fixed. So offer a refund and get it over with.

I had the the very common OpenGL problem with Luminar. Was a Beta tester and bought it only to find out like you that after an update it wouldn't run on my PC. Asked for my money back and received it. I understand that it's a great pgm for the mac, but they've really screwed up the PC conversion.
After performing all the library and driver steps they requested, which didn’t work, I asked for a refund. Several times, and all I get is we will get back to you. I’m about ready to give up.

You’re right. At times I feel like a dinosaur, expecting a company to stand behind their product with good customer support.

If the memory upgrade doesn’t help I’m definitely going to adobe and ending the pain. The extra memory will be good for Lightroom and Photoshop too. Thanks!

One of the problems with Laptops is that generally the gpu shares the onboard RAM for processing. You "could" buy a cheap desktop and work with that but that of course entails additional expense.
I checked the manual for my laptop and found that the ram is expandable to 16 gig. I ordered the ram from b&h. It can’t hurt. Thanks all for advice.

I’m using a. Laptop with only the intel 4000 gpu. The 8 gig ram is the highest it would take. I’m going to try the adobe programs. Thanks for the input.

Are you running it on a PC. It was originally designed for Mac and no problems on iMac or PowerBook Pro
I’m running it on a pc. Apparently the changes they made in the software to use open gl for the graphics was an effort to jack up the speed to be comparable to the Mac version. This is apparently why they don’t want to fix the problem. Don’t they realize what they are doing to their user base?

Have you tried to run it incompatibility mode? You might want to uninstall completely and then download and install from scratch. You may have done these things already but if not, it is worth a try. I wouldn’t give up too easily.
According to their tech support it’s not a compatibility issue but a problem identifying the open gl in the gpu (graphics processor). I tried the fresh install but nothing changed.
I have a toshiba satellite with a core i7 processor, 8 gig of ram and 1 TB Ssd, which cost plenty when I bought it. I just in shock that they suggested that I scrap it for another machine, with no guarantee that their software would run on the new machine.
I’m not completely giving up, I’m just in shock at the offered solutions.
Thanks for your ideas. I appreciate it.
