Luminar 3 boasts a Lightroom-esque catalog, with powerful editing tools, that has converted a lot of photographers over to this more affordable program.

In this Luminar 3 review, well take a look at what the program is capable of, and whether or not Luminar can live up to its expectations.

However, it was majorly delayed and has only now been released.

Skylum (the makers of Luminar) decided to repackage Luminar 2018 into Luminar 3, providing a sleeker version with more tweaks than just the cataloging system.

For those already running Luminar 2018, Luminar 3 comes as a free upgrade.

Changes that you made on the sliders took time to propagate and be applied to the photo.

However, with Luminar 3, the adjustments are instant and what you would expect.

You are able to apply layers to your photo as you make edits, but it is important to remember that when youre switching around the filters and the workspace structure, if you change workspace without switching layer first you will lose your edits.

Make your edits, and then create a new layer before moving on to the next part of the image you want to adjust.

Its very simple to understand, and actually makes sense when you realise that you are adjusting a photo in layers.

Each workspace is built from different filters, and you can do everything you would expect and more.

This is nice, because you can also design your own workspace and get rid of the filters you never use.

You can also create a methodical process for yourself, creating workspaces for each stage of your photo-editing workflow.

You can adapt the program so that it fits into your workflow, eliminating anything unnecessary that gets in the way.

With Lightroom, you can apply masks and a limited number of adjustments to the areas selected within a mask.

That means that you can make a whole host of adjustments to just one area of the image, rather than being limited in what you can do like with Lightroom.

With Lightroom, you might be tempted to open a file up in Photoshop for more intensive edits, but Luminar 3 is the whole package and will allow you to do everything you need in the one program.

Whilst Lightroom has a wealth of exporting options, including limiting the file size and saving export presets, Luminar 3 has only the absolute necessities.

Its just a shame that you cant be more advanced with your exports, and that might slow up the process.

For example, if youre regularly supplying images to different clients, you might set an export preset for each in the format they require your images.

This immediately raised an eyebrow from me, as I am pretty sceptical of companies labelling things as AI as it often is a marketing ploy rather than an actual system that learns and adapts.

If you want a quick start leaving room for a couple of minor tweaks, then perhaps they are a good way to burn through your editing pile quickly.
