Wouldn’t honour lifetime license

I own desktop product (which I like) and purchased lifetime license for an Android. Sometime later I switched to an iPhone, but the expensive android license I purchased cannot be transferred according to support. Needless to say that I have zero desire to re-purchase the product I already own for extra 220$

I love it, but it can be better

I love Luminar Mobile and use it regularly for photo editing. The app is fast, intuitive, and produces excellent results. The AI tools are especially impressive and make editing on a phone and iPad much easier.

My biggest wish for future updates would be the addition of:
• Masks for local adjustments
• Selective editing tools
• Layer support with blending modes and opacity controls

These features would greatly expand the creative possibilities and make Luminar Mobile an even more powerful professional editing tool.

Overall, a fantastic app with huge potential. Looking forward to future improvements!

Needs one more feature

I have used this program for 5 years and it is incredible. One feature I ask you to add is the ability to rotate the lighting so to place center objects under a variable with and light spotlight etc. it would help tremendously in showcasing products indoors and out.

Good

Quite good

Not serious

Lack of features like noise reduction, erase, dust or spot removal, select object, layers … unhappy with the app.

为了收费太恶心了🤮

我本来打算给朋友推荐一下这个软件,收费保存不了,可以理解,但是我想截图对比一下修之前和修之后的效果都不行,发给朋友推荐,结果禁止截图🤮,截屏又不是原图,这也要限制🤮

Tricked into LIFETIME purchase

When I clicked on the trial version, the app had switched to LIFETIME purchase. When i asked for a refund with in the hour of buying this, Apple denied this. This seems deceitful.

Nice

Compact intuitive great value

Don’t bother - Light function ruined since last update. AVOID.

The previous lighting function “relight” was solid and functional, but since the last update the light function has been comprehensively ruined. I’ll be cancelling my subscription as this was one of the most useful features and now Darkroom has a a head and shoulders lead over this app. Highly disappointing and for no logical reason.

Scam

Why was I charged for a 1 year subscription after I purchased the lifetime membership?

I was double billed by this app, and apple refused to refund the 1 year subscription.

Unless the developer Luminar can rectify this error, this app is a scam in terms of its billing policy.

Great App

This really allows you to work on your photos on your phone.

I love it

Love luminar but i bought the app on my galaxy but i signed in on apple and it wouldnt let me use it on my apple other than that i love it

좋은앱

풍경 사진에서의 편집은 좋은편 인거 같습니다
다만 전부 고려해서 배치 하셧겠지만 앱내의 컨트롤 아이콘의 크기가 다소 작은거 같습니다
그리고 인물에서의 편집 할수 있는 항목들이 너무 적습니다, 인물사진 항목에서 세부적인 편집 내용들이 들어가면 좋을거 같습니다, 인물사진에서의 편집은 편집하고자 하는 부분을 제외하면 나머지 부분은 고정이 되어서 왜곡을 줄였으면 좋겠습니다

Sensacional

Um dos melhores aplicativos de edição que eu já vi. Recomendo!

A ne surtout pas télécharger ! Tu payes mais cela ne fonctionne pas

Application plutôt bien quand elle fonctionnait.
Mais ce n’est malheureusement plus le cas depuis plusieurs semaines. Aucune photo ne se charge, tu ne peux plus rien modifier. Application inutilisable mais pourtant payante. C’est une honte !

Response from developer

Je suis vraiment désolé d'apprendre que l'application ne fonctionne plus. Nous sommes prêts à vous aider. Veuillez nous contacter directement en soumettant ce formulaire de contact : https://skylum.com/support/contact et notre équipe d'assistance vous répondra dans les plus brefs délais.

This is great if you don’t know how to edit

The Luminar app exists for folks who don’t know how to use Lightroom. It’s extremely limited on actual editing. The end result is either barely touched or way over processed.

Fantastische Updates, endlich direkt in Apple Fotos speichern !

Ich bin von der App wirklich begeistert. Besonders beeindruckt mich, dass sie regelmäßig weiterentwickelt wird und ständig sinnvolle Updates erhält.

Mit dem letzten Update wurde endlich eine Funktion hinzugefügt, auf die ich schon lange gewartet habe: das Exportieren von Bearbeitungen direkt in Apple Fotos – und das unter Beibehaltung eines non-destructive Workflows. Genau diese nahtlose Integration hat mir bisher gefehlt und macht meinen Workflow jetzt deutlich angenehmer.

Die kontinuierliche Pflege und Weiterentwicklung der App sind das Geld absolut wert. Ich habe die Lifetime-Lizenz gekauft und bin sehr froh über diese Entscheidung. Klare Empfehlung!

Sie können uns über diesen Link erreichen: https://skylum.com/support/contact, und das Support-Team wird sich so schnell wie möglich bei Ihnen melden.

Underwhelming

I was expecting a few more tools from the desktop version. Most of my most used tools from the desktop version don’t exist in this version. Please add ai sharpening, noise reduction, and more color tools.

No refund

I paid to use the app but when I tried to use it, it kept asking me to pay for it even though I already did.
Apple did not provide a refund for me.
So I paid like $70 for an app I can’t use.

液化
