Hi,

 

I just started using Luminar 3 and I must say that I enjoy it due to many reasons, BUT performance-wise it's pretty terrible. Waiting ~10-15 seconds after swapping to next photo in edit mode is quite painful. I'm sure you are aware of this problems, but I'm trying to decide between buying into other software or giving another chance for luminar, is there any estimated date for next performance improvement patches? 

Thanks for your insight,

Bartek

  @Bartosz Chromiński - Performance also depends on your hardware configuration. Have you checked our minimum system requirements? Here they are: https://skylum.com/luminar/user-guides/chapter-5-tech-requirements

  Leila Evans:  it would be really nice if you could not just list the minimum system requirements but instead point out which components have the biggest influence on luminars  performance so that people can choose and plan accordingly and also identify their bottlenecks...

  I've checked minimal requirements and my PC is fine in that regard. I'm afraid there are some significant performance problems within the software, I'm not having these problems in any other editing tools (darktable, raw therapee, lightroom).

  Anyway, I hope that Skylum will manage to fix it in reasonable amount of time, I'll wait with purchase for now.

  Hi Frank,

  Some of the components that can have a big impact on Luminar's performance are:

  • RAM - 8GB is the minimum necessary but I find 16+GB to make a big difference
  • Graphics Card
  • SSD (instead of traditional HDD)

  I hope that helps!
