Pre-order Luminar, the new photo editor from Macphun.
The all inclusive photo editor for those who just want a better basic editor to those who want all the advanced features and more than those found in other editors. Click the image below to pre-order or just to learn more about this new editor.
Let’s just get the pre-order Luminar details out of the way first
Pricing
New Macphun Customers can Pre-Order Luminar for the discounted price of $59 and get the Pre-Order Bonuses!
Current Users of any Macphun Software, including Aurora HDR or Aurora HDR 2017 can Pre-Order Luminar for the discounted price of $49 and get the Pre-Order Bonuses
The Pre-order Luminar offer is only available from November 2 – November 17. After that, the bonus items are gone and the price goes back up by $10 for new and existing customer pricing.
Luminar is designed to be used by those who just want it for basic editing all they way up to the most advanced user and everyone in between. For those looking to go beyond what Photos for the Mac can do for you and let you grow into more advanced editing techniques all within one program.
With a few clicks you can switch from the basic mode to a more advanced mode.

In the basic or advanced views you can quickly see how the edits you have done affect your photo with the split view that shows your original and the your photo with your Luminar adjustments so you can quickly compare the results.

When you start getting into the advanced options such as filters and you are not sure what they will do to your photo. Now there are built in examples that you can see for each filter type.
Not sure what the Polarizing Filter does, expand the window to see a description and example images of the filter in use
Now sure where to start, no problem, you have a wide variety of presets to choose from. You can either stick with the changes that the preset gave you or you can expand upon those changes by choosing a preset and then making your own additional adjustments. If you like the adjustments you made and think you will use them on future photos, you can even save the settings as your own custom preset.
Presets show at the bottom and the various preset types you can choose to help narrow down you choices
My thoughts
I see Luminar being used by the casual user who just needs access to a few more photo editing options than those offered by the basic programs that come with your computer up to those who want more advanced editing features but do not want to pay the higher price of other editors.
With the ease of use and the built-in examples, I can see those who started out using the basics editing functions quickly moving into using the advanced features of Luminar.
Luminar is a great starting point for the Macphun series of photo editors. Start with Luminar and as you are looking for more advanced editing features you can move up to Creative Kit which gives you more controls over the specific functions of each app that is part of the Creative Kit. Or if you have decided to venture into HDR, you can add Aurora HDR 2017 the best HDR editor out there.
Got a sweet deal on a new Canon Pixma Pro-100 Printer
Came home today to see the printer that I ordered earlier this week had arrived.
The Canon Pixma Pro-100 and the 50 sheets of 13 x 19 Canon SG-201 Photo Plus Semi-Gloss Paper
A larger format better quality printer has been something that I’ve been wanting for some time now and when my friend told me about this deal, I jumped right on it.
Not only did I get this great printer, but as part of the bundle, I also got a pack of Canon SG-201 Photo Paper Plus Semi-Gloss Paper (13 x 19″, 50 Sheets). All this for less that $49 after the $250 mail in rebate. You do have to get the paper to get the rebate, but they give you the paper as part the bundle.
You might be able to get this deal as well, but you will have to call BHPHOTO direct and navigate their call tree to get to the Printer Dept. They do have this listed on their website, but it is listing it as $399 instead of the $299 price that I was able to get by calling in instead of ordering on the website. Since it is not posted on their website they may revoke the $299 price at any time, but go ahead and give them a call, what can it hurt? Even if it is only available at the website price, you will get it for $149 which still is not a bad deal
If you want to try, you will have to hurry as the $250.00 Rebate. Offer ends OCT 31 ’16.
As you know, I’m all about free and this is your chance to win some free stuff that is awesome and from someone I trust. So go ahead and Enter HERE to have your chance at getting a new camera or other prizes.
