I like the app myself too! I like it's power ease of use very much. How and when I use the features is very much depends on the image itself.
What I really appreciate is the low cost and simplicity. LR and PS are incredible, but extremely costly and difficult and time consuming to learn. Most people, including so many successful YouTube sensations admit they only use very few of the features! So why spend money and time to get so little? Luminar AI answers the question!
My only gripe is the lack of Panorama functionality.

Ben, is the payment for Luminar a monthly sub or is it a one off do you know mate? This could be exactly what I’m looking for.

The other thing is that this uses so much CPU power it's just overwhelming. I would say its great for simple portrait retouching as well. I am no landscape photographer (don't travel too much) so don't have an opinion here.

do you have to be online constantly to use it?

Firstly your photographs are really great. I skipped a lot of this vlog (just FYI) I realised you started using chapters (and then The 4th one is two thirds the length of the 10 minutes ???) unlike your pictures, your commentary was a bit rambling, not impactful enough for me which is a shame. You're clearly a very talented guy with 90% of the (excellent) tools in his vlogging toolbox, but I think if you'd have say done 10 chapters concentrating on 10 areas you wanted to speak about - the "story" wold have been more punchy. Hope you don't mind the normally I wouldn't bother but I think with a few tweaks you would be up to 5K or 10K views in no time. You still get a thumbs up from me. Wish you well.
