Has anyone tried Luminar 2018 yet? I bought it for $49 (since I already own Aurora HDR) and started experimenting with it. There are a number of very cool filters and effects that complement LR very well. I'm using it both as stand-alone and plug-in for LR and PS. I would be interested in other opinions!
 
Have you had time to play yet Peter? The offers keep coming through, but I haven't got time to play for a while.
 
Used Luminar on Mac from the 2017 version. It is an ok plugin and it does bring some very useable filters to the party. They do tend to be a bit OTT at their default so dialling back is often useful (less is more). That said the more proficient I get in LR the less I find a need for Luminar and with Lr developing into the world of profiles Luminar has moved from a must have to a nice to have sometimes. There have been other debates on here about Skylum so I'll leave this here.
