I already moved to Neo but...... But sometimes I must go back to LR to remove noise from the AuroraBorealis photos. That is the only reason why I still got LR still installed! Neo isnt there yet with their Noise Removing.
I agree. Luminar Neo has a serious learning curve (only because it is so advanced), but after some initial questioning of why I switched from LRC, that I already knew, I started to appreciate all that NEO offers and the end results with my Fuji raw files.
I can't say this is the reason why, but when you are in business anything that lasts more than a year you have to depreciate on your taxes. It is more or less a wash in the end, but depreciating anything is a real pain. A monthly lease is a business expense and can be expensed out instead of being depreciated. It makes more sense to buy the software as a private person, but to lease it as a business. It is why most equipment is bought on lease. It pretty much costs the same in the end, but you can expense the equipment out instead of depreciating it. I find Lightroom to be a much better photo management software, but Luminar to be a much better photo editing software. The right tool for the job.
@@LandscapePhotographyUniversityLuminar is known for their very bad software - new versions all the time dropping the old versions without ever getting them optimised, a simple google search would show you that.

Appreciate this information very much. I am seriously considering making the switch and will be watching your instructional videos
Awesome! Glad it helped!

That's cool! And good to hear you say. I'm sure they'll get there with NR
Show us how you would remove that annoying fallen branch.
I'd like to see that too
Mate, been using Luminar since the beginning. Love it.
Love to hear it!

And there’s nothing better than Fuji raw files

I use Photomator
Oh interesting!
@@LandscapePhotographyUniversity It’s good, and a lot cheaper.
Just bought luminar, while it's good, I can't say their AI masking is as good as Lightroom, which is a big hit, but I like it so far
I agree but I do think they’ll continue to make strides and improve it
Unstable, slow, horrible catalogue, etc. etc.
Luminar is for hobbyists who use it 2-3 per month and don’t want a subscription.
It might be because of computer processing speeds

Luminar NEO honestly looks awful. Overpriced for what it offers.
Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion
Nope Nope Nope. luminar is not a real competitor .
Why not?
Isnt it obvious? Because @Bowiehair said so. You never have to explain your opinion, when you are confident enough
