越更新越压缩画质

为什么更新最新版本导出画质只有22mp,连手机的48mp都要压缩到27mp,以前都可以原图导出44mp,越更新越压缩画质,反应官网也不给回应

Refund

Company is a rip off. Can’t get a refund 0 stars

Free app version was useless

I got as far as selecting a photo to enhance then could get no further. Stuck in an endless loop unable to progress any further.

Still Needs HDR preservation

Great app, but the HDR is removed if I edit the photo with Luminar. Please update to keep the HDR in the picture.

Do not buy on Apple!!!

Bought Luminar Neo through the Apple App Store, both the app and the desktop license. Nowhere does it say the App Store version skips the fall upgrade that Skylum gives to direct customers! So you pay full price, then get cut off from new features or forced to pay again when the next update drops!

This is not disclosed anywhere before purchase. Buy direct from Skylum's website. Do not go through Apple, and they will not refund you! SCAM!

Buffers

I always experienced the slow process for the ERASE editi slow execution, keeps on buffering.

Looks so fake

I’ve been searching for an app where I can cut and paste reverse mirror like the old programs in the year 2000 they don’t exist supposed to be AI and all this and you got push buttons this dials for this but you’re never really get what you really want it’ll always look fake. Probably you could get away with actually doing most of this in photos anyway with all these programs are just a waste of money. The best program they ever have was aperture back in 2008 2011 I think and you can get add-ons like silver effects HDR and all those but only enhances which actually build pixels and get rid of noise reduces or any good and then they come a price. Well obviously I just found out this is a review for both apps well this one immediately took me five not even five minutes three minutes. I took a picture of a landscape with a lake in it tried to change it slightly and it looks fake immediately because you different dramatic things but it doesn’t show in the water so that’s definitely a no-no lighting is everything and the best thing in Photography is to get it right at the right time

編集操作画面はかなり洗練されている

iPad版の写真編集アプリとして、操作性が非常に良く、編集結果の品質にも満足しています。動作も快適で、今後も継続して使いたいと思える完成度です。

一方で、実際に複数の写真を扱っていると、いくつか惜しい点があります。

特に、「編集を貼り付け」と「コピーを保存」が1枚ずつしか行えない点は、複数の写真をまとめて編集する際に大きな負担になります。複数枚を選択して編集内容を一括で貼り付けたり、まとめて書き出したりできるようになると、作業効率はかなり向上すると思います。

また、本格的な動画編集機能までは必要ありませんが、写真と同様に明るさ・色味の調整程度の簡易的な動画編集にも対応していただけると、写真と動画を一つのアプリで扱えるようになり、非常にありがたいです。

個人的には、この2点が改善されれば、現在使用しているLightroomからLuminarへ完全に移行したいと考えています。

すでに写真編集アプリとしての基本的な品質は非常に高いと感じていますので、今後の機能改善に期待しています。

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$

Response from developer

Thank you for using our software! Please note that if you bought the app on Google Play, your purchase won't transfer to the App Store, since those two platforms are treated as separate. Hence, the billing systems do not transfer purchases between the App Store and Google Play.

Plz film grain for mobile

If you do that, I’ll give you five stars!

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.

Excelente e Profissional

Esta ferramenta sem dúvidas é uma das melhores para iPhone, com resultados profissionais e de nível superior. Parabéns por desenvolverem algo realmente útil tanto para amadores quanto para entusiastas, indispensável para profissionais!

Good

Quite good

Not serious

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

Response from developer

However, we remain committed to improving Luminar, and we are actively listening to your suggestions to enhance the editing experience for our users. Brand-new GenErase was recently introduced to elevate the editing workflow and ensure the most natural result is achieved. We greatly value your feedback!

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.

Espetacular

Edições de alto nível e preço muito justo para o que oferece.

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.

Response from developer

Hi William! I understand that getting acquainted with the updated functionality might bring some challenges. Light Depth was introduced as an innovative step-up feature that uses a custom-generated photo map for the most natural relighting results. If the tool is producing unexpected results, our Support Team is always ready to guide you through the new workflow. We would appreciate it if you could send us your photo samples for review by completing the Support contact form at skylum.com/support/contact.
