  Hi!

  The Rasterize Layer option was made to decrease the number of filters needed to be recalculated when something in the existing layer stack is changed.  If you convert a layer to a Rasterize Layer, then Luminar won't have to calculate the filters on that layer again (except upon Export).  This is used when you have a lot of filters on a layer and you want to try some finishing touches with it, but without having to wait for Luminar to recalculate the entire image.  It takes less time to process when a layer is rasterized, and the application uses significantly less memory after this action.
