3.0.1 is slow, crashes with specific images (I had to remove the external SSD, so that the image does not load, delete the life's pains-taking edited image) then reload the SSD to continue.
Also, unable to select multiple images to load into Aurora HDR, each image is opened separately.

If you had bought this on the high street you would have taken it back by now and demanded your money back - I have wasted 2 years of purchases here based on promises and the best I have been offered is a link to request a refund which doesn't actually work. I am also on a new full specified SSD iMac and can't use an arrow key without it crashing - the support was "try deleting it and re-installing" - thanks for nothing.

I have not been able to export a JPG of a RAW file, period. Crashes every time. It is slow, but allows me to make edits and adjustments, but on export it always dies.
I am not a high-volume user, but was impressed and recently purchased Luminar. The occasional exports/images from RAW that really matter to me have been failing since moving to Luminar 3. It is very frustrating.

Strange how different hardware has different results. I am on a 2017 iMac 4k and have had no significant issue since launch, other than the dam that is not a dam that is. Things feel a little more robust since the update but have noticed no significant change. I am not a heavy editor though - not loads of layers etc.

Mac OS 10.11.6. Mac Pro Early 2008. 20GB RAM. AMD Radeon HD 7950. Photos and Catalog are on a Synology NAS.
L3 Cache = 62 GB. ~46K Images
I can still get it to freeze with a beachball if I click and drag the scrollbar (which would be helpful if it were a bit bigger), especially if I am scrolling from the bottom to the top of a large number of images.
It has also frozen while trying to edit an image.
L3 is very slow when starting up when it tries to load the catalog, but this is probably mostly the cost of having it go over the NAS. A progress bar might be nice, rather than a beachball and the process status reporting the application is not responding. Or some indication something is happening. There are several minutes of the application window being displayed and a list of my folders and albums with no image counts. During this time I can interact with the menu but there is no indication that it is loading any of the images, and then I get the beachball during which time the counts show up and then finally the image thumbnails populate.

I loaded up Luminar 2018 and was happy at what I saw of the dam. It uploaded my photos with no problem. I did do some editing and it worked like a charm.
Then I uploaded the update and my problems began. I would try to do an edit and the program would die. I would have to reboot and started work and boom, it would die on me.
I am not a power user, just a guy trying to do some simple edits. this is quite disappointing. When is the correction to this "problem" going to be fixed?

I installed the 3.0.1 version and it is more table on my machine. It is still crashing but not as frequently. It has crashed when moving between images.
The Library functionality is still really rough with only have the year and month or on specific folders to choose and organize images. No quick way from what I can see to create an album for selected metadata from what I can see. I have not attempted to bring in all my images from and external drive. Approximately 130K images.
I also noticed that the previous Luminar presets do not get installed on Luminar 3 even after downloading and attempting to instal them. Also would like to have a quick way to reset the image without having to delete all added filters.

My library is pointing to photos on my NAS. Luminar 3 initially built the library and then started the long, tedious process of finally organizing my photos into albums. Spent many hours over several days going through less than a third of my 60K+ photos. Everything looked good for a while. After a few days of not using Luminar (although still running in the background), I return to find my library is almost entirely empty (only about 3500 images found) and the library had to completely rebuild. But worst of all, even after the library finished rebuilding, 90% of the files organized into the albums were no longer assigned to the albums. Days of organizing work gone. It seems there may be some issues involved with libraries when photos are physically stored on a NAS. My guess is the NAS disconnects during sleep mode and Luminar 3 refreshes the library and can't see the files, so it wipes them out of the library. Anyone else seen this issue?

We're aware of the performance issues, and we're truly sorry if you encountered them. We will release an update meant to target these issues at the end of January - beginning of February.
We'll add sending bracket groups to Aurora in the next update for Luminar 3. We planned to include this function in the initial release but there are some integration details that we need to iron out before shipping the function.
If you're still experiencing crashes or other issues after updating please visit the News & Updates section of the forum to read the Luminar 3 Update From Support which has a list of known issues. If your issue isn't listed please contact us at https://www.skylum.com/support.
