Special offer is available from Nov 21st to Nov 29th

 

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

Luminar 2018 version 1.0.1 for MAC:

  • Fixed crash on saving to .PSD format
  • Fixed bug when Adobe Photoshop Elements is unavailable.
  • Fixed bug with Luminosity Mask preview on filter
  • Fixed “Image Cannot be saved” issue with Adobe Lightroom
  • Fixed RAW Develop\Develop issue when converting Panasonic files
  • Added support for more Adobe Photoshop plugins, including Topaz Labs plugins
  • Improved RAW processing on opening file
  • Improved Windows preset preview
  • Improved accuracy of the filter collapse/expand triangle control
  • Improved application and Batch processing UI
  • Fixed RAW Develop/Develop issue with DNG files
  • Plus other performance improvements and fixes to the reported issues.

Luminar 2018 version 1.0.1 for Windows:

  • Fixed bug when launching Photoshop with a blank image
  • PLUS; Improved performance and fixes for a number of reported bugs, including the fixed issue with LowRes image preview on layers with masks; Fixed progress bar for opening images.

 

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.

The options screen will only be shown to you once and its purpose is to help you select the best workspaces for the type of editing you do. This will just give you a starting point based upon your selection, but once you are in the program you can still customize your workspace menus to your liking.

 

Here is what each option will give you

Powerful, yet intuitive photo editing

With this menu, you can take the current image that is in Luminar and have it open in the Macphun application of your choice to make more adjustments. Once you apply the adjustments in the other application, it is brought back to Luminar Neptune.

I’m making the assumption that this menu will only show you the other Macphun applications that you own and have installed. But as I have them all, you are seeing them all on this list.
