Memory leaks/unusually high usage of RAM.

Some tools behave differently across plaforms.

Windows version has no caching preferences, thumbnails take ages to regenerate.

Workflow has changed again, backwards compatibility is promised, but not guaranteed.

Partial/questionable GPU support that requires fiddling with the registry/GPU panel.I have taken the time to compile a list of the most longstanding complaints about Luminar the day Neo launches I'm going to grab the biggest bucket of popcorn I can find and scour the forum comments to see what has been fixed and what still hasn't*: I don't know about you guys, but I think this was the proverbial writing on the wall for this reason I have decided I'm not going to be mad about it, not even disappointed. It is disappointing to see a new version so soon, I would suggest the current product is not finished (none of my issues have been addressed yet, maybe that's what the 'new engine' does, I still see other people struggling) - all those surveys about what we want ignore 'make it work' and now we can either face a new one off cost but that avoids a regular fee as has been used as advertising before, oh hang on, paying yearly is the same thing.Ĭome on Skylum this is a bit too cynical - you've asked me to hand you more money < 9 months since the last time, about 4 months of which have been usable (because I fixed a problem not your support), 9 months based on what I paid evidences that lightroom is actually a good choice because it's a stronger product covering more of the functionality we need on a day to day basis.Ĭome to think of it what does the new product offer - the blurb doesn't say. Whilst I don't mind paying for good software, it is a fact of life, but making sure a good, reliable and well supported product is in place must surely be a better long term strategy that 'ah ditch those last customers, they'll probably have to upgrade anyway'.
