Our two takes on Luminar demonstrate why it is important to try things for yourself rather than just going with the other guy’s advice. Luminar is very intuitive to me, and I find I can achieve results that are every bit as nice (identical if I wish) to anything I can do in Lightroom.
Absolutely. I too would recommend for everyone to trial them for themselves.. if I had listened to the people saying Luminar is great just dive in, I'd have been
really disappointed in spending money on it. That said, they supposedly have a decent refund policy, but back and forth with money is something I'd rather avoid.
Not sure what I'm going to do after LR6 no longer supports my cameras, but hopefully by then some of these competitors will have matured their software. That is one thing Adobe has running for it.. stable, tried and tested algorithms handling things like exposure, shadows and highlights. But no way am I renting software!
