In reply to neihtn2012.I am going to have to do that. This post brought me an email from another photographer friend who asked the same question. He loves the quality of output, but since it doesn't do the file management piece, he continues to use Lightroom. I certainly need to check this software out. Thanks for the tip.

Have you ever tried DxO Photo Lab?

In reply to de Wets Wild.Thank you! I really enjoy the post processing. I am still experimenting with a processing style that is “all mine”. The new software has changed what I see in my photos. Interesting to note your color-blindness. I would never have guessed from looking at your posts. I am envious of your skill at wildlife photography. Thanks for your comment.

You are obviously a master at the post-processing of your photos, John, and that I believe is due to your artistic talents; knowing what you want to portray with your image even before you’ve pressed the shutter. It really shows in your photos!
I’d love to be able to do more post-processing, but being colour-blind I have to be very careful as what I see as the end-product will likely look totally different to our audience… So, I stick to the basics of enhancing sharpness and brightness if warranted and hope for the best!

In reply to Josh.In fairness to Luminar on loading time, I am now creating higher res images than I used to. The Lightroom pics were older and smaller.

The Luminar pics are certainly more vivid, the difference is obvious. Even if you just judge by loading time… Our rural internet loaded up the lightroom pics in 1/2 the time. What a bummer about the subscription service, that’s what happened to photoshop & why I’m still using an antiquated version of it.
