Although Luminar 2018 is available for Windows, if you are not interested in the extra bonus items that come with the Black Friday special, I would recommend just downloading a trial version of Luminar 2018 for Windows and test it with your particular system. At initial release, some users have been having issues with running it on their PC systems. Skylum/Macphun is committed to fixing all issues, some may not be fixed until year end. Download the trial and make sure it works with your system. See this Facebook Post from Alex Tsepko, CEO of Skylum on the topic of Luminar 2018 for Windows.

And here is the FAQ on Luminar 2018 for Windows with its update schedule

The first update to Luminar 2018 has been released. See below for the details on the update

I hope this helps you make an informed decision on whether or not to buy the Windows version of Luminar 2018 with the bonus items or just test out the Free Trial and delay your purchase.

Although I’m a firm believer in the product, I am a Mac user, so I’m not feeling the pain some Windows users have experienced.

If you have a full sized DSLR, you will need the regular slide to support the weight of your camera comfortably.
