From the perspective of a graphic artist, who’s familiar with the likes of Adobe Photoshop and Affinity Photo. I have to say that where it comes to editing photos fast. Skylum software provides the most satisfying and simple to use photo editing solutions l would recommend to anyone involved with producing images for their commercial work. Or rather, graphic designs. And this is even if you already use Adobe Photoshop (for retouching and image manipulation).

I feel it just gets you to where you want in terms of a satisfying appearance faster!

You see, Luminar also doubles up as a plugin/extension. So you can actually use it alongside Photoshop and Photos for MacOs… (check for other compatible programs)

Anyway, as I was previously leading on to say; Skylum has changed the game yet again with its machine learning software, intelligent enough to pick out specific areas of a photo and allow you to edit without masking. You really need to explore this yourself. For example, the Portrait, Structure and Sky Replacement filters work almost magically…

Now, speaking of magic, and not to get me wrong, Luminar will not make you a photographer. However, it certainly can rescue those dull, over or under exposed photos of yours. As well as save you a lot of time. 

Use Luminar for creating stylised images and photo-illustrations to add mood and drama when telling your story.
