Luminar Update and their new Flex Plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop

Published: Tue, 07/16/19

Hi ,

I wanted to let you know about the new version of Luminar. As you probably know, I've been using Luminar as my main processing app for almost three years, and it's come a long way. At the end of 2018, they added the long awaited Library module in Luminar 3, which gives you the ability to import and catalog all of your photos.

I love that Luminar is a full-featured and fun editing solution that does an amazing job fostering creativity without sacrificing performance. And, they keep adding features and making the program run even more efficiently with each update.

What if you want to use Luminar's excellent processing tools, but don't need the Library Module?

The answer is Luminar Flex. This is their new plugin version that works with Lightroom, Photoshop and Apple Photos. (You can read about Luminar Flex in my recent blog post.)

The Flex plugin offers the exact same performance, the same full featured editing power and the same RAW conversion engine, but it's made for people who don't want to leave their current Adobe or Apple Photos workflow and a catalog system.

Recognizing the need for two solutions, Skylum now offers Luminar as both a standalone version and a plugin version. You choose the one that fits best for your workflow, and you still get the same creative benefits processing tools that have made Luminar so popular.

If you're intrigued by Luminar, but are happy with your Adobe or Apple workflow, then the Flex plugin is your answer. If you're looking to migrate to a Luminar workflow, which includes the catalog, then the regular version of Luminar 3 is your answer.

Both versions have a 60-day guarantee, and if you decide to try either program, be sure to use discount code DANBAILEY to save $10 on the Flex plugin or the Library version.

Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope you have a great week. I'm headed to Michigan on Thursday to hang out with my dad for a few days. Should be fun. :)

Take care and happy shooting!

Sincerely,

Dan Bailey
