Luminar a viable replacement to Lightroom?

5 years 5 months ago #616402 by George F
Luminar is supposed to have a library function coming to it correct?  So considering it's other features, and they do compare themselves to Lightroom on their website.  

So how about it?  Is it time to move from Lightroom?

What does Lightroom not do that you require?

Yes, Luminar has announced plans for asset management.

You could also consider On1 RAW and Capture One. There are trial periods for all of them.

I'll stick with Lightroom, there is nothing broken with it.   Unless there is something that the other program does that this one doesn't do.

it's going to take a lot to replace Lightroom.  But it sure isn't going to hurt to see some competition for Adobe!  Perhaps they can take some larger leaps forward with LR.

You speaking about a catalog?

In Lightroom-speak, yes.

Adobe can't be happy about this.  Someone stepping into their turf?  It's like the other electric cars jumping into Tesla's space.  No more king of the mountain.
