What if I need to auto-correct color and white balance on a gallery of hundreds of photos? I can do that in Adobe Lightroom; does Luminar 4 support that?

[pinestreet]

For me, what makes your tutorials stand out is that you show the extremes of each setting at once and I can see what the setting does. When someone slowly pushes a slider, I'm too frequently missing the subtle changes being done. So a Before and After is nice, but I'm not sure which slider did what. Thanks so much for doing things the way you do them.

good tips, so whats the difference between adding contrast on the slider vs doing it on the bands? is it the same?

[deliawood]

Can you change the grey theme in luminar4 as I have problems with the reading the fonts on the dashboard as the contrast between dashboard ond letters is. Very small.

Are you working with jpegs or raw? Also my ctrl z (undo) is not working in erase or clone layers? Am I using wrong keyboard command on Windows 10. Thanks

Covered what's possible in a relatively short time. Good results. Always learn something new. Thanks for posting.

I bought today Luminar 4 and downloaded the software from your site. It is a zip file. When I click that zip file to load software nothing happens. Unfortunately you guys don’t have phones to call for help

Nice 1, I also like what the Luminar Looks preset called Portrait > Desert does as similar effect.

what about luminar stability?Also is very slow

[marclabro]

hello,
luminar raw develop is really weak with respect to lightroom and ON1. can't use it. Fortunatelly AI tools compensate and much more than any other tool.
Some basic features, easy to improve to have a wonderful Luminar 4 product for raw processing :

1. WB eyedropper : can only click one time. if you want to tune it, take again the tool. lightroom has a checkbox for keeping tool
2. curve should be separate with blend mode (luminosity for instance to avoid color offset), slider values, presets listbox. several curves in a same stack allowed like luminar 3 to process different zones (dodge and burn)
3. histogram not live. we must release slider to see effect
4. white/black : a nonsense to put these most important sliders outside main panel. it is not advanced it is quite basic to fix clipping.
5. ALT + white/black : cannot see clipping on a black or white background. doesn't work anymore. J key remains blocked sometimes and need "eyeball before /after" refresh to work
6 transform : add auto, upright, keystone tools

I find this software to be very slow. It takes forever to export a photo and also when wanting to use the clone tool, I virtually have time to get a coffee and a biscuit in the time it takes. Sorry, not really up to expectations.
