As for Lightroom, it has been our go-to software for the past ten years.

In this article, I’m referring to Lightroom Classic.Įthics statement: a copy of Luminar was sent to us for review purposes. The recent CC is cloud-based and cross-device compatible (desktop, tablet, smartphone), whereas Classic CC is designed for Desktop use and is the version we’ve known for all these years. Note: Lightroom exists in two forms nowadays. Now that the app is more mature and has its own library system, I decided to give it another look and see how it compares to Lightroom. At the time, it was a promising “cheap and powerful” photo editor but was lacking too many things to be a practical replacement for other applications. I had the chance to test the first version of Skylum (ex MacPhun) Luminar two years ago. While excellent alternatives such as Aperture have disappeared, others have emerged along with many powerful features. Over the last couple of years though, I’ve realised that the competition has intensified: there is now more choice than ever. And working with other Adobe software applications such as Photoshop and Premiere has certainly helped me keep faith in the company for as long as I have. In a way, this is the best compliment one can give a product.

I haven’t looked back since, not necessarily because I believe Lightroom is the absolute best, but because I got so accustomed to it that I wasn’t interested in trying anything else. It was when I bought my first DSLR, the Nikon D90, and I was looking for a powerful software to sort and edit all my photos.

I opened Adobe Lightroom for the first time ten years ago.
