I feel Luminar 3 seems to be a good upgrade to 2018. I was surprised to know version 4 will be released so soon. Being that Adobe is going to start charging me double starting in Sept for my CC subscription, I feel comfortable just using Luminar as my go to software for photo editing. I have a LR and PS licensed CDs that I can put back on my imac if I feel I need to revert back to earlier versions of the SW that I don't have to pay for.

@Tom l am a fellow user. Glad to hear that Luminar is working for you and meeting most of your photography needs.
One of the features lacking in Luminar 3 for Windows is plugins support (which is limited to Adobe and Apple products).
Support for other software such as Affinity Photo, Topaz, Nik Collection among others (used by increasing numbers of Adobe cord cutters and that has functionality Luminar doesn't) is lacking and limiting usefulness.
Even Luminar plugin support with Skylum's own Aurora HDR is sadly not there.This lack of plugin support, especially for Windows, is one of the things that, for me, limits Luminar's standalone usefulness compared to Lightroom and Photoshop.
I truly hope that these things will not be swept under the rug in favor of gimmicks. I welcome new functionality but not at the expense of improved base functionality.
