![]() That really sounds like classical Skylum behavior. Turns out at that point it was a legacy product and no longer supported so it didn't work on my RAW files. Only worked on Jpegs but there was a message that I could get Noiseless CK for $10 so I did. Several months later I learned Noiseless was a free app so I downloaded it. After several exchanges I couldn't get it to work and was due to Slylum being a trial so I gave up. No trial period so I contacted them and said I won't be spending $100 without trying it first. So I downloaded Slylum trial and found out Noiseless CK was a $100 plug-in. Show more →Īll of this new AI NR was coming out. Oh well, the management obviously is brainless. I'm also amused/irritated that as a long time customer I got to pay for an upgrade. Just how long can a person stand a pop-up window hitting you every time you try to select an edit category? Past that, there is little control and output is: My only guess as to why they didn't continue to develop the rather good tools they started with is that it's aimed at iPhoto/cell users. This new thing - which I paid $70 to upgrade to…? I don't know. I had long used MacPhun's (Skylum) noise reduction and sharpening tools. ![]() The link goes to a Aurora HDR 2019 trial download. I was wondering what exactly I did wrong, and now reading this. HDR function worked well enough, but upon export the colors were an ungodly mess. I downloaded the fee version, to try it out. ![]() I only mentioned it - because their inept support claims they now have color management, yet, as you rightfully mentioned is dysfunctional to the point of even being worse than not having any. Not implemented correctly and not useful because the output is erroneous. They are grossly overpromising and underperforming - Aurora 2019 is a major step back from the offered free 2018 version.Īnd by the way, they now have color management but seemingly botched it by applying the monitor profile on export (or forgetting to unapply it when transforming into the output color space). Because of this, I simply don't trust them to have the product that they claim to have.īecause of this, I simply don't trust them to have the product that they claim to have. As far as I am concerned, you don't have a photography software product without color management as a critical part of the package. Anyway - up until that point, they still had not implemented color management in the Windows version. I watched their forum on this topic (several people had the same complaint as me) for quite a while and finally stopped. After going around with them on this, including them saying that they had profiles or LUTs or something (I don't remember now) that they seemed to think were color management, I ended up requesting a refund, which they did promptly give. Specifically, Luminar completely ignored any kind of color calibration on a Windows system. I purchased it and found it completely unreliable because of the lack of color management for Windows. Of course, this was not included their description. When Skylum offered Luminar as a Windows product, they did not have color management implemented. So, no offense to the OP on my comment here. I always appreciate when people post opportunities like this for software and gear. They didn‘t yet manage to make Luminar 3 and Aurora 2019 work together, around 9 months into the release of the latter they haven’t even fixed the most blatant bugs and you can count on them announcing Aurora 2020 soon (they already did the crowdfunding for Luminar 4, so Aurora is the next one to receive the crowdfunding treatment). It‘s not even worth that, the price is too high giving them another address to spam with their incompetently developed products.
