I agree with your opinion on Luminar vs Topaz.
I tried Topaz and Luminar on various images and I realised that Topaz sharpen AI and Topa De anise AI is far better than similar Luminar extension pack.
Thanks again John.

It’s always a challenge. Adobe does have market share and don’t care attitude. I avoided Topaz because they aren’t cheap either. I do believe, though, that they are solid products, and from what I’ve seen on YouTube, they are better products than the extensions in Luminar.

No need to feel sorry John.
By your detailed account, I learned so much.
And by sharing your experience you are helping people like me.
Yes, most of the time we need just two- 1)super sharp and 2)noiseless. (I Do have Topaz sharp AI and topaz De Noise AI).
It’s a good thing that you decided to go for bundle when they offer attractive discounts.
I realised that the latest offers from Luminar for their products are very costly and they are encouraging people to go for subscription plans and as you said soon the may insist only subscription plans, which is sure to be a burden.
Adobe does not care about its followers.
ACDSee photo studio seems to be a better option to Lightroom, since the offer perpetual licence and upgrades for the same yearly basis. They too have subscription plans.
Ultimately whole thing boils down to how much weight our purses do possess.
Thanks again.

First, sorry for the lengthy response.
When they first announced the release of the extensions in stages throughout 2022, I bought the entire package. Having done so, in retrospect, I discovered that I have little use for some of the tools. Since I got them in a bundle, I consider the ones I don’t use to have cost me very little anyway.
From this point going forward, I’ll purchase only the extensions that I think I will use. My favorites are Supersharp and Noiseless. I use Magic Light occasionally, but it’s for night photography so it doesn’t get used much. I use HDR Merge on occasion, but it and Noiseless have equivalent tools in Lightroom. At this point, the Denoise tool in Lightroom is new and only works on RAW files. I’ve used Upscale on older images though I probably will never use Focus Stacking.
All in all, because of the bundle pricing, I think I got reasonable value for the tools received. I think future extensions will be additional purchases.

Thank you John.
For the perpetual single computer plan, they would like us to buy the extension packs individually which has exorbitant price.
Did you purchase the extension packs as a bundle or individually?

Who is always successful. I would bet that many photographers throw things out! πŸ™‚
