I use Looks as a quick way to get a starting point on specific edits for an image.

V3 - Select "+" to Add New Adjustment layer. Apply a Luminar Looks. All of the specific adjustments made are shown fully expanded in the Edit Workspace. Very easy to tweak each different adjustment that is contained within the Luminar Look.

V4 - Select Layers Icon. Select "+" to Add New Adjustment layer. Apply any Luminar Looks.

?? What types of adjustments were made? 

1. You have to select each BOLDED Editing Workspaces (Essentials, Creative, Portrait, Pro) and look for BOLDED Adjustments. 

2. Once you have located and reviewed the specific adjustments made, it is typical there will be adjustments  in different Edit Workspaces

3. Select one of the Edit workspaces and Expand the specific adjustment to review/tweak. NOTE: Only one adjustment can be expanded at a time.

Ex. To adjust the Color applied, Select Essentials, then Color and then Advanced.  Now you want to change the Adjustable Gradient so Select Pro, Select Adjustable Gradient. Maybe now you want to re-tweak the Color so you have to Select Essentials, then Color, etc.....

Also - No custom workspaces.

  I am also finding how L4 turns off the layers above the selected layer in the stack a bit counter-intuitive.  This is especially a problem when working with interim BW adjustment layers.  For example, let's say the top layer is BW, and I I go to an earlier layer where I changed the brightness of the lower part of the image.  The image reverts back to color (as BW is turned off).

  I guess a good work around may be to move layer order,  unfortunately I have not figured out how to do perform that move.

  Maybe I am doing something wrong?

  Note: I did read the layers section of the online manual, but did not see any reference to this operation)

  Skylum requested a video of the software bug and I sent it 21 days ago. No word from them yet.

  Hi Gus,

  You can reorder layers via drag and drop. The only one that can't be moved is the base layer.

  Hi Angela - the support person's name on the email is Olha and her emial to me is dated Dec 10. I am not going to publish my email address on a public forum.

  The bug I reported is when selecting a LUT, ALL prior adjustments (in all layers) are reset to default if no LUT is chosen.

  About drag and drop...

  I was trying to grab the center of the tab and the right-side of the tab.  I stopped when I could not find any reference in the user guide.  Based on your response, I poked around and found tabs are selected near the left.  May be worth adding something about that to the user guide.
