I do have a catalog with a hundred images or so. I use all SSD, both internal and external, which I think has no relationships with slow performance with AI. My PCs are stock DELL so I am guessing maybe I have few problems since developers - unless they are nuts or in China- almost certainly test on DELL (and maybe HP machines). Having the program AND the data use an SSD did the trick. On my older machine, (6th gen I7, 16GB, and an added SSD) Luminar AI performance was slower, but acceptible.

I got a new PC with SSDs, 64 GB, and an 11th gen I7 just to use Topaz AI products (SharpenAI, DenoiseAI, EnhanceAI) and to speed up everything else. However, LuminarAI is very fast on my machine which is fairly recent. Luminar 4 requires much less processing power than AI. This table shows overlap between versions:Īlso note that MANY features in the final release are NOT in Early Access: Skylum has never stolen my money and has always delivered every pre-order product - for better or worse.Īlso, it is inconsistent to say they 'lose interest in the current version of the product' and at the same time argue they are selling an 'enhanced, extended version of the current and previous versions.' I am old enough to remember something called Kickstater which used a similar model.

Tries to raise money by pre-selling a discounted, unfinished, incomplete next version of the software, which appears to be just an enhanced, extended version of the current and previous versions.

I would say they are attempting to implement, sometimes successfully, advanced AI technology.

Appears to lose interest in the current version of the product, instead promoting a future release which may not be compatible with it.

Yes.This has been the business model since MacPhun days of Creative Kit.

Drops a fairly recent version of their main software that was last updated less than a year previously, giving it away free.I can't think of any other company which: I'm curious about the Skylum business model. Obviously, we need to 'invest' time with useful apps, not 'waste' time with slow and buggy apps. If so, I would not touch it even if Skylum gives Neo for free.

Of course, it is even easier if you would tell me if Luminar Neo is just as slow as AI. After all, a 'quick and easy fix' app as Luminar AI is NOT quick at all (so slow on my i7-10700 with 16GB RAM that I have to stop the app with Task Manager). I guess you imply Luminar 4 is even slower and buggier than AI because of its complexity. As I said earlier, Luminar 4 is not my 'go to' but I can do good work with it and so can many pros who have made Youtube videos.

I suspect some of the criticism comes from those who did not invest the time to really learn a program that has a very different interface and was therefore deemed unworthy. Luminar 4 has a learning curve much like PS and Photolab. Luminar AI is mostly for dilettantes who want to do a quick and easy fix.

Luminar 4 is much more capable - a full blown editor. Luminar 4 and Luminar AI are as different as night and day. I have NOT used Luminar 4 or prior, but based on my experience with Luminar AI (yes I bought it with Luminar X membership), it is a pretty useless app.
