Luminar 3 review: A viable alternative to Adobe Lightroom

Macworld: >Photographers who use photo management and editing apps have been caught in a changing market. Users of Apple’s Aperture had to deal with the demise of the app. Then there’s Adobe Lightroom, which used to be sold with a perpetual software license, but then Adobe changed it to a subscription-based model. > >If you’re a photographer seeking a powerful, traditionally-licensed package, Skylum Software’s Luminar may be what you need. The new Luminar 3—also known as Luminar 3 with Libraries—offers a superlative, easy-to-use image editing app with photo management capabilities.

I really like Luminar. It can be very easy to use for beginners and is visually more interesting than Lightroom. Whether it’s more suitable for “average consumers” than pros is something that can be argued. Let’s just say, it’s not going to replace Lightroom for me.
