On the one hand, if you need to tackle a few quick edits, just pop your image into the program, apply one of the awesome presets, save and export the image, and you're done. You can literally edit a photo in a couple of minutes. This program can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be.

My favorite preset? For me, “Abandoned Place” just rocks and brings such a healthy blend of grit, sharpness, and all that other cool post-processing magic with it. Using Luminar is a breeze, particularly if you utilize the presets.

Lifetime License - Who doesn't like to save money?!.

It's truly a program that can grow with you as your skills expand and your needs change.

Room for Growth - Luminar manages to cater to every type of photographer from those that are brand-new to those that are grizzled veterans.

It creates a much less cluttered and easy-to-use space.

Customizable Panels - If you're a portrait photographer, you can customize the workspace so that only the portrait panels are on-screen.

There are tons of filters you can use as well.

A Huge Collection of Presets - Luminar's presets make quick work of editing images in a way that enhances their look.

The Accent AI Filter - Using one simple filter, you can drastically alter how your images look.

If I had to break it down into the top five best features of Luminar, I'd have to go with the following: The Accent AI Filter gives you the power to apply about a dozen quick edits to your image at once. You can even give it a go for two weeks for free before you buy. You simply buy the license for $69 and the program is yours for life.

It's also important to note that unlike other products, Luminar has no monthly fees. But for me, Luminar's value is in its easy-to-use filters (more on that later). It has all the basic tools you'd expect for cropping, adjusting colors, exposure controls, saturation, vibrance, and so on.

The Luminar interface is clean and well-organized, with an intuitive layout that makes editing images a faster, easier process. Luminar has a beautiful UI with a workspace that's smartly organized and intuitive to use. Like Aurora HDR, Luminar was originally released for the MacOS ecosystem but is now available for Windows machines as well. Millions of photographers from around the world are creating beautiful images
