The first I didn’t like as a photo editing program. Nevertheless, because what I read here, I tried Luminar and Landscape Pro. In the Anthorpics’ website it says that Portrait Pro (also from Anthropics) can work as a plugin in Affinty Photo, so maybe Landscape Pro can as well. I tried the demo, but the demo can’t be used as a plugin (only the Studio version of the program and upwards, but not the trial one). If it were just for replacing the sky, there is also LandscapePro from Anthropics that seems to give more control to what one can do with the sky after replacing it. I just installed 1.8 and waiting to see how that works out as opposed to the last version of the software. I still use Affinity as my primary program for photo editing. there are some functions that need to be improved like the 'edit' menu for Windows, and Luminar has limited selection tools, at least in Windows. The Sky replacement works well except for when it leaves a halo around the non-sky elements of the photo, and the portrait enhancement tools work well. they are good, but but not absolutely necessary. I don't want to turn this forum into an ad for skylum, but since the question had been asked, Luminar does have other features that Affinity doesn't. This can be overcome by making a new stamp layer of all the edits in Luminar, deselecting the layers below it and then the handing the file back to Affinity. If I have done a lot of edits in Luminar the time it takes to hand back to Affinity is frustrating, making a coffee might be a good option, and sometimes it hangs. Handing an afphoto file back to Affinity seems to tax the processing ability of my otherwise quick laptop. Working on afphoto files using Luminar as a plugin within Affinity is a much nicer experience. This has been identified by others elsewhere. Using Luminar as a standalone product and working on Raw files is very slow. However, I like the using the tools in Luminar 4 because it feels more like a creative process than a technical achievement. Here are some things I have found.įirst Affinity is my number one program choice and if I was only allowed one program I would not have to think about it. I have been using Luminar 4 as a plugin on Windows 10 for a couple of months and I am happy with the results. ![]()
