Keywords, please !!
Answered
More than a year ago, I wished to have keywords in Luminar..
What I received is a lot of intelligents ajustments, sky modifications, portrait correction, etc...
But never received something really usefull.... The ability to use KEYWORDS to index my shoots !!
When will we receive this gift ??
Thank you
Denis !

That is a possibility Johan Marengård. For now, though, I don't see any reasonable alternative. Also, the Adobe updates and fixes come in a lot faster than any other.
If Adobe doubles the cost (very unlikely), then, I would probably pick the best alternative at that point and adapt my work for that including known bugs and stuff. Might pick up one of the open-source ones and adapt that to my needs.

Well, according to this I don’t find it that unlikely...

No keywords. Are you kidding me? I bought Luminar back in 2018, and was excited about shortening the leaning curve for Lightroom. At first, it was new and fun. Then, I had to buy the Luminar 3 version, and eventually the Luminar 4 version. I hung on because keywords were promised (PROMISED)! For the last three years, I have been traveling almost non-stop, and have accumulated lots of photos. Aside from editing a few pics here and there, my collection just kept building. Finally, I resolved to melt through everything and clean it all up. Naturally, I wanted to add keywords like I could in Lightroom, but it's still not available. Now, the CEO says "My bad!" We now have no intention of giving you what we promised. If you lie to your customers, what does that make you? Back to Lightroom for me. No more Luminar products for me. It seems that the other folks in this thread are of the same opinion. Sad and disappointing!!!

For me, I switched to ON1 Photo RAW... Great software... I use it at 95% for editing and 100% with keywords. I also discover the possibility of sharing the catalog via dropbox. So I publish the catalog and my customers can use also ON1 to retreive the photos they want to use on their web site or social medias... I shoot, I drop the pictures on dropbox and add the keywords... They only have to search with the keywords to choose !! Fast ans easy...

Capture One is good if it works for you since it cannot handle large catalogs Bill Jackson. ON1 is good only on paper and highly unstable. Check out the forums for ON1 Photo Raw before getting into that. They (ON1) also have a habit of removing critical comments and threads. I don't think there is an alternative to LR so far and they also came up with a bad update for version 10 (check Adobe forums for that).

I've been left down by lightroom, a corrupt catalog that was undetected by lightroom integrity checks and months of work already to recover work.
I would love to move over to luminar but without keywords (and GPS / other metadata editting & perhaps a decent watermark preset capability) it still isn't a replacement product, it's just a plug in and here I can see it's not just me...luminar neo coming with lots of bells and whistles but missing key functionality (dull, not announcement worthy I'm sure) to turn a "quite nice" tool into a worthy contender.
Come on skylum you can sort this!
