Softly softly.

This isn’t an upload to talk about the image above, it’s more to talk about the software that was used to process it.

I’m very much a lightroom user, especially on my desktop computer, I’m a bit more flexible if using my iPad, but even there I use lightroom mobile a lot of the time.

There is always talk online about software alternatives to lightroom, one company that makes an alternative is Skylum and their Luminar software, you may or may not have heard of them.

I’ve read bits and pieces online about Luminar and a lot of people seem to like it as an alternative to lightroom, but I’ve never taken it much further than that.

Fortunately I also like getting things for free and reading this months Digital camera magazine I realised you could get Luminar 3 for free, so that’s what I did and now I have a fully functioning copy of Luminar to use for as long as I like. I haven’t had chance to fully get used to it yet, my first thoughts are that lightroom is better, but that’s probably because I’m used to Lightroom and have been using it a long time, I’m sure when I use Luminar 3 more I will get more used to it.

So as most people don’t buy photography magazines and may not have seen this offer I thought I’d share the details here and if you’d like to have a free copy of Luminar 3 yourself then you can, it’s quite a simple process, it is only for windows and macs though, not iPads, tablets or your phone.

 

So here is the address you need to put in your browser address bar, don’t put it in google or any other search engine, it needs to go in the address bar at the top of your browser. You will get an email sent to you with a link to the software download and an activation code and that’s pretty much it. There isn’t anything dodgy about it, it’s a proper legal offer and the company behind the software is a respected company but if your unsure just put Luminar 3 into google and do a bit of research.

 

This is what you put in browser address bar,
