Luminar & Aurora updates....

[MCAsan]

Luminar was updated today. Aurora should be updated on Feb 1. There are updates for both the Win and Mac versions.

Neither product is an Adobe replacement; however, they are both nice styling apps after you have done basic raw editing in Lr or ACR.

For non-pro/serious amateur what would you lose doing everything in Luminar, rather than doing "basic raw editing in Lr or ACR" then using Luminar?

Thanks!

Luminar today does not have any functions to match Lr's Library, Map, Book, Slideshow, Print or Web modules. The should have their DAM out this year which should could be close to the Lr Library.

Compared to LR's Develop module Luminar does not have: the ability to use a DCP file specific to your camera for color accuracy, luminosity masking, color range masking, good edge aware brush and eraser, auto lens corrections (and especially for m43 shooters...lens correction based on raw file data), pano creator, HDR creator (that is in Aurora), and the ability to send a "smart object" to Photoshop.
