From what I have seen so far, the best way to think of using Luminar AI’s Templates, is as a quick method for reaching a starting point for your final editing. 

Although, there are the few occasions where Luminar AI will render a perfectly satisfactory result “right off the bat”, leaving you with little to no additional editing.

In my opinion, I can see that the Luminar AI Template feature will help to alleviate the anxiety that some professional photographers seem to have when tackling a photographic piece that needs editing by someone with knowledge and skills for using specific software tools. 

It also helps greatly with producing a consistent appearance across a number of photographs, for let’s say, a wedding project, or fashion shoot, for example.
