Lightroom or Luminar 4

I've been using Lightroom for years and love it BUT I also love some of the new features in Luminar 4, especially the Sky Replacement and Foliage settings. I am trying to see if Aurora could actually replace Lightroom as it's a monthly subscription and I only had to pay once for Luminar. As of now, I use the Luminar plugin for Lightroom for the sky replacements. Here are a few questions that need to be addressed before I make the switch. These 3 questions are MUSTs if I am going to switch. Luminar 4 should be able to so these, if not, please make they do and you will get more users for sure!

1. Can you batch Look presets in an Album?

2. Can you drag and drop images in a custom order in Albums?

3. When exporting several images at the same time, can you give them a file naming sequence?

Hi Tim. Thanks for your questions.

1. You can sync adjustments with a number of photos. I believe that is the functionality you searched for. Select the edited photo and the ones you want to apply the edits to > right-clcik > adjustments > sync adjustments

2. You can drag photos to an album, but you can't change the order of the images manually. You can choose from the list of the options (by name, date, type etc).

3. If you export several images they will be exported with the original file name.

I will forward your comments to the person in charge so the team could consider your suggestions.

I cannot answer your questions but in my own experience I find that both platforms have their benefits. When I'm editing I find myself using both almost all the time. Keep in mind that Luminar 4 can be a plugin for LR/LrC/Ps.
