Thank you so much for the much needed update to Luminar 3. I think so far it’s working well. 

I just have one request that I think would improve the useability of Luminar 3 and that is if you could find a way to speed up the export time on the Mac. It takes at least a minute and a half using the short edge for a 42 megapixel photo to export. It takes much, much longer if you export it at the long edge or original size despite using an SSD drive. Lightroom and Capture one v.12 will do this only in a few seconds. Capture One 12 can do 16 layers and does not affect the export time at all. Capture One is expensive but I would be more inclined to buy it if it saves me time in exporting.

Thank you so much. Luminar is amazing and can easily beat Capture One if not for the export time. Luminar and ON1 are the same in terms of very long export time although ON1 is the worse.

  I'd like to second this request. It's not a huge issue for me as I tend to export a whole bunch of photos after I'm done processing, so can afford to walk away and leave it, but it is still very slow compared to what I am used to in Lightroom.

  Meanwhile I have emailed support about the overall performance of the product – which is far more important to me than the export performance.

  The update to 3.1.0 coming at the end of January/early February will come with performance improvements.

  Hello,
  
  I've upgraded to 3.1 on both my Mac and Windows. I cannot to say that I've noticed any speed improvements. Could you give us feedback on how much speed has improved?

  I have a Elitebook 850 G5 with 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. The CPU is i5-8250U 1,6 GHz.

  My experience is the same with Lightroom. Exporting a edited photo took 1-3 secs depending on camera, but takes more than 10 secs now. Having said that, I am very satisfied with the end results!

  The speed improvement is pretty much dependent on how many files you're trying to load into the app and how big the files are.

  Thank you Kirk, I’ll try to remove a few hundred files. But my problem for both Windows and Mac is the export process
