![]() ![]() If you’ve never used Luminar before, it’s an image editing application that uses AI to automate many common tasks and the idea is that this is a new way of working, which should speed up your workflow. ![]() Review 1 - You’ve never used Luminar before It’s kind of like a “choose your own adventure” script. To reconcile this, I’ve essentially written two reviews. ![]() So, I’m left with shades of “Sliding Doors” trying to review this, and two very different experiences depending on if you had used Luminar before or not. Instead of a new and interesting photo editing experience, there is a legacy of broken promises and changed directions, and against that backdrop, Luminar AI promises to be an entirely new application, but is instead a downgraded experience with a few new features when compared to Luminar 4. However, if you have previously used Luminar 4 and earlier, it was a different story. For them, it was a departure from normal photo editing applications, and through those eyes, I could see how you could think this was a fascinating and different piece of software.
