Anyone else having MAJOR issues with this last update?  I cannot see my photos (black squares with the rating I have the original photo only) and if/when a few show up, I cannot edit....AT ALL. if I try to make an edit, the program shows i'm making it and then nothing happens to the photo.  Then Luminar freezes and crashes.  Ugh.  Its causing me serious pain right now. I do not have time for this.

    I am in a similar situation both with 4.2 and now 4.3. Only 4.1.1 worked as intended. Hard crash with both 4.2 and 4.3 everytime I try to do anything.

    Today I installed 4.3 on my three Windows 10 Pro machines: desktop, laptop and a Surface Pro 3. All running Luminar 4.3 just fine. During the install on the Surface Pro I had to press 'retry' twice but after that it completed the install. I have yet to put Luminar 4.3 through a good workout on these machines but so far so good.

    So weird.  I unistalled and reinstalled and have had a few photos appear after waiting for 2+ minutes.  I'm cloning on a few and it's working, albeit, also slow as a turtle.  However, I cannot use vignette at all.  Just doesn't work.

    Honestly, I don't why I even bother with these updates! Frankly, I don't even know why I even keep this program. With so many other choices, no problems with updating, I think it's time to uninstall Luminar. For goodness sake, updating a program should not be a "fingers crosses" I hope it works experience. And no, contacting support is NOT a solution.

    I figured it out myself and successfully upgraded. That said, upgrading Luminar is too often a hassle don't experience with other editing software. That's why Affinity is now my go-to editing software.

     

    What I did:

    Rebooted the PC

    Ran System Mechanic to clean out what it found it the registry and temp folders

    Ran Glary Utilities for the same reason I ran System Mechanic

    Went to the Windows temp folders and cleaned that folder manually

    Then ran the Luminar upgrade successfully

     

    Upgrading should not be an exercise that takes many, many minutes.
