Luminar 3.02
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro 2018 (with touchbar) running Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3. Luminar is dead in the water. It is looking for a catalog called Luminar Catalog.luminar and now I am stuck with nothing working and having to constantly force quit. I Use Luminar as a plugin to Lightroom primarily. Though I do work with to alone. I now cannot get to anything. Whatever the 3.02 install did, even a restore to 3.01 from Time Machine has not fixed the problem. 3.01 worked fine but I cannot get anything to work now and I have tried uninstalls and reinstall. Rebooted the machine, run Onyx etc. Nothing helps.

@Therese I was able to revert to previous version of Luminar by restoring from Time Machine. Had to restore both application and the entire Luminar Catalog folder. After doing this, reinstalling the the plugin options for Photoshop and Lightroom are necessary.
Hope this works for you. There are a lot of unhappy users right now because for some of us, the update completely wiped out and rebuilt the Luminar catalog - i.e. lost all edits and ratings!!!

Hi Bruce, I've seen your history from the link you provided. The whole thing is a mess. 3.01 worked fine for me, but when I restored from Backup, I found the problems and I probably should follow your suggestions, but it will have to wait a couple of hours! Thanks for the information!

Hi Therese! Please try to reinstall Luminar this way.
Download AppCleaner from here:
http://www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner
AppCleaner is a free app that automatically removes not only the applications themselves but also the related files, making 'clean' uninstall easy.
When removing Luminar 3, mark all the files and folders in the list, except for DPA6233TPQ.com.macphun.luminar3.
Once you're done uninstalling the app, restart your Mac and download a fresh version from here:
https://luminar3.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/mac/Luminar3Installer.zip
If you need help with the installation, check out this page:

If the issue remains, please try removing your catalog and creating a new one in a different location.- Make sure Luminar is closed.
- Locate your Luminar Catalog folder. The default location is %username%\Pictures\. If you specified a custom location for your catalog, search your custom location.
- Rename the Luminar Catalog folder. Choose any name you like.

G'day from Sydney!
Time differences and other work meant I didn't respond because the message came through at 2.26AM Sydney time on Thursday morning and I had just headed to sleep.
Followed Anastasia Davis' instructions, but took the opportunity to get rid of the catalogue (just in case) as I primarily use Luminar as a plugin to Lightroom.
So far everything is working!
Help is much appreciated. Thanks also to Bruce Tracy for his suggestions!
You are all exceptionally kind - it is lovely to see such a co-operative community.
