Tell that to those that use Luminar as a plugin. Luminar 3, and indeed Luminar 4 work absolutely fine on my macs, using Catalina
#PHOTOLEMUR 3 FOR SKYLUMM CUSTOMERS SOFTWARE#
They know about the issue but still "haven't got an ETA for the fix" to quote their support - 9 months for quite a few people of not being able to even use the software and still they got the "EISA software of the year" award.Įdit: Had I been in charge of their development the morning after the bug was reported (and acknowledged) every MacOS developer in the company would find only one mouse on his development machine: a magic mouse! Likewise with the color management failure - every Windows developer would get a cheap AdobeRGB screen and have it calibrated for him - and the boss would get a cheap sRGB screen and the developers the order to make their exported images look identical on both their screen when shown in Luminar and on their bosses screen when shown in the default Windows photo app.

It's now 9 months that an update has rendered Luminar unusable with the mouse most iMac are shipped (magic mouse). They got surprised by many things in recent past - they seem to develop like the proverbial headless chicken. How can a major software developer get caught out on a change like this? Of course the change from 3 to 4 is going to impact the Windows version as well - and since the Windows version still hasn't proper color management (they really really botched that one by running a soft proof against the screen profile and then exporting converted to the screen profile making the result unusable for anyone who doesn't run the default sRGB screen profile) I wouldn't consider the Windows version viable in any way. Well MacOS Catalina is released and the update will be made available towards the end of the year - which in Skylum terminology means anything between early 2020 to never (recent track record regarding that is poor to say the least).
Their only response by the support was: We don't support MacOS Catalina beta, an update will be made available once Catalina is released. They are indeed claiming that - although they have been made aware of issues (it's not the 32/64-Bit issues, the problems are located in core functionality) as far back as Beta-1.
Yes, but is it impacted similarly in Windows by the change from 3 to 4? Luminar was initially only available for MacOS (which makes the lack of a version for Catalina more puzzling to understand). Hard to accept that they were 'surprised' by this (if that is what they are claiming). Surely Luminar could have got access to a Catalina OS to find the problems and develop versions that will run under Catalina. And, beta versions of Catalina have been around for general testing.

How can a major software developer get caught out on a change like this? Apple announced the new OS, and the fact that 32 bit aps will not run on it, months ago. So users of Skylum software should refrain from updating to Catalina. Flex was a stop gap measure because the library integration screwed up startup times for the plugin badly and already is announced to be discontinued.Īddendum, they got rumbled by MacOS Catalina which brought all new failures of all their current programs (Luminar 3, Aurora HDR and Photolemur) with it - fixes expected to be coming at the end of the year. Luminar 4 will rely on idiotic AI functions and curtail the editing capabilities of the user. I have 3 wonder if I need to pay for Flex. I am trying out Flex with Apple Photos right now. They claim it isn’t - but also claim that Luminar 4 is a complete from ground up new development, which means there will be no significant parallels to backport fixes to the Luminar 3 branch. So that's the end of any updates to 3, I would imagine. That means any edits done with Luminar 3 are invalid if you update to Luminar 4 - and you only get two instead of 5 computer activations with Luminar 4 (I’m wondering what that means to the preorders some people have placed - I don’t recall the fine print saying that their licensing scheme was about to change).
