Luminar 3 - Crash during export
I'm really getting sick of all the issues with this software. I actually can't believe you charge for this! Please stop creating features and fix the stability and performance of the application. More regular updates fixing these should be a priority.
Keeps crashing during exporting, may do 10 images or 50 - but just keeps crashing. Select all Images and Export to a folder. Pretty simple and fundamental functionality.
The eventlog details are always the same:

I can see from the forum there are loads of other people having this issue.

Hello:
I also get the same error.Skylum technical support sent me an email telling me to uninstall and reinstall Luminar 3, but the problem persists.
This is the content of the email sent to me:
Hi everyone - Please try reinstalling the app in the following way:
- Go to “Apps and Features” by right click on the Start button;
- Find Luminar there and click [Uninstall](you can also uninstall from the Control Panel);
- Type %appdata% in Search (folder Roaming should open);
- Find the folder “Luminar 3” and delete it all the files except for StateSettings file;
- Go to Pictures -> Luminar Catalog and rename it (if you have the Catalog in another folder, please navigate to it and rename it);
- Install the app once again and launch it: https://luminar3.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/win/Luminar3_Installer.exe
Let us know how it works.

I've started exporting in batches of 30 or so after restarting Luminar and it seems to be working, but you have to leave the PC alone for 20 minutes each time. I also set several greedy background tasks to minimum priority and Luminar to high priority. Roughly 35 seconds per photo is a lot, especially after having had to wait 20 seconds to start editing each one in the first place.

I asked as well, Skylum support sent me...
What is MIPL.dll?
>>> A DLL file, short for Dynamic Link Library, is a type of file that contains instructions that other programs can call upon to do certain things. This way, multiple programs can share the abilities programmed into a single file, and even do so simultaneously. When an application requires Mipl.dll, Windows will check the application and system folders for this .dll file. If the file is missing you may receive an error and the application may not function properly. -
After a lot of back and forth on this issue. The issue is still not fixed for me. I can't say the support team didn't try. 30 emails later there is still no fix and unfortunately needs to go back to their dev team.
Good (and bad) others are having this issue. Clearly this is an issue, and hopefully one that gets prioritised.

Hi Team,
a few days ago, i bought luminar, because the software looks great and it works very well in the trial.
But while i edited my first big photo set with around 400 pictures, the disillusion is coming.
The performance while the editing is not very fast. The software uses very high system capacities, and, the software crashes around 20 times, while the editing of the set.
Now i want to export the set. Currently i already exported 125 photos and luminar crashes the second time already, first crash after 40 pictures, second crash after 100 pictures.
What can we do? Stability is the absolute basic requirement.
Regards
Florian

The latest update has actually made the issue worse, and introduced new issues - the app is now more unstable than before, crashing regularly during editing and exporting.
@Florian - unfortunately features are being prioritised over making this software stable. I've never seen anything like it. I'd suggest trying RawTherapee.
The solution is to downgrade windows, wait for a fix or to get your money back.
None of these are particularly helpful, in light of that the new update is not really an update.
-
@Florian - Please contact us at www.skylum.com/support and we'll investigate the issue.

I'm having the same issues as what seems like everyone else. I've tried exporting 3,240 photos at once, 10 photos at once, and even 1 photo at a time. Luminar 3 crashes nearly every time. I've been able to export 52 photos successfully. I purchased the software today through a third party, how do I go about getting a refund--do I need to contact the third party? The software has some great features but it's just unusable. I guess I'm going back to Lightroom. The specs of the current machine I'm running it on are below. I'm going to try it on my desktop machine as well to see if that's any more usable.

Hi,
I have the same issue.I installed a complete NEW Win10 and installed LuminarFlex. After editing 4-5 RAW-Files and export to JPG LuminarFlex doesn't work anymore. I have to stop the task-manger and re-start it.
The export from an RAW to a JPG needs approx. 1-2 minutes.
I'm frustrated and now you'll release "Luminar 4". Please fix at first the problems in 3 and Flex.
Christian

@Anastasia, I've done that, and I received the same suggestion as everyone else has received--remove completely, rename catalogs, reinstall, etc. The problem persists on fresh installs (3 of my own), existing installs, fresh installs on fresh windows installation (as Christian mentioned earlier), various hardware, etc. Please stop treating every case like a one-off. The problem is global, it is most certainly based in your software, and needs some desperate attention from the development team, not tech support. I'd be willing to bet there are far more people crying for attention to stability issues than crying for new features. I'm still within the 60-day money back guarantee period, but unfortunately I purchased my software from a third-party vendor. Don't get me wrong, the software has some really great features that I really like, but if I can't use them, they're no good to me.
-
OK, that's great Anastasia.
Just so you're aware it's not just exporting where it crashes, it crashes all the time, during editing as well. The whole Windows build is extremely unstable. I hope that's been able to be reproduced as well.
On a typical evening of editing I would restart the app every 4 to 5 photos because it crashes.
We are all very much looking forward to this fix. I'll even try a beta build once you have one available.
Thanks,
Sam
