Thanks for the 30% code, Darlene! I made the leap as I had been holding out for the panorama stitching capabilities as I make a significant number of panoramas. I'm looking forward to exploring the capabilities of Luminar Neo. I also used your link above, so hopefully, you receive a commission for that as well.

Great video, not just for the non-destructive editing workflow. Thank you. I have followed the workflow on a couple of my photos. When saving from photoshop I end up with a TIFF file, which means some data is lost. Am I doing something wrong or is this what you end up with as well? Thanks for clarifying.

Do you have all your photos in a Lightroom catalog? If so what is the best workflow if you want to do edit an image only in Luminar without having to import it from Lightroom first. Do you have everything duplicated in a Luminar catalog or just import the ones you want to edit from Finder?
I’m a bit puzzled about the best workflow for this, and whether the changes to images done directly in Luminar would be visible in Lightroom if the photo was in its catalog. I don’t think they are, so if I want to maintain Lightroom as my ‘master’ catalog, should I import the luminar - edited images into it, and would I even be able to see the Luminar edits?
