Luminar AI does not treat my image right (it seems)
Answered
I use Luminar AI as stand alone, latest version 1.4.1, on Windows 10, 16GB memory, Pentium i7
I took several pictures in RAW of a red rose but when I add it to Luminar and want to edit it, the rose is almost one big red object with no details. I tried some templates but the only template that shows details is the Newt noir, then I see the leaves of the rose in detail.
The only way to get me a picture that I can work with is to choose a camera profile for my camera in the Light section which I dowloaded from the Internet (since Skylum does not seem to provide these.)
In the Windows 10 photo viever the jpeg and the RAW version look good on my screen with the details of the leaves so it seems to me Luminar AI does not know what to do with this picture.
My camera is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 and it is in the list of supported camera's.
I uploaded the image on my google drive:

I hope you can give me some direction about what is the solutions for these kind of pictures.
Thanks in advance.

Albert,
FYI, your image displayed properly on my PC - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz 3.00 GHz, 64.0 GB Ram, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (Driver Ver. 471.68) Windows 10 Home, Version 21H1, OS Build 19043.1165.
You may want to check and make sure you have the latest driver for your video card.
I took the liberty of a quick edit hope you don't mind.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your help. I checked and updated the drivers for the video card but that did not change anything.
What was the first step you had to take when you edited the image (which I realy appreciate).
On my computer I first have to choose a profile or change the exposure to -2.
Starting with the Enhance AI tool does not work. -
Albert,
As additional info I also shoot with Panasonic cameras and Luminar appears to have recognized each of the cameras that I have used as well as the RW2 file that you posted. I have not had to manually download any camera profiles to get them to work.
As an experiment you might want to convert that file to a DNG to see if that will make a difference.

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the info. Did the rose look overexposed on your screen before you started editing? I can pretty much understand what you did to the image. I took the original image and did the first 4 of your edits and it improved the image a lot.
I've had contact with the Skylum support team and have sent them a screen recording of what happens on my screen. The say it is normal what I see.
But I have other images where the jpeg looks good on the monitor. No highlights but when I add the RAW version to Luminar AI the subject looks overexposed. They are all images with a specific subject like the rose.
I've added the same RAW file to Darktable (open source program) and the original images looks good on the screen.I don't know how to convert the camera profile to DNG and to be honest I don't want to do that. I switched from Darktable to Luminar AI because it is much easier to understand.
If this is the way it works I think I'll have to accept that.
My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (2Gb)
Greetings,
Albert.

Hi Albert,
"Did the rose look overexposed" No, at least I didn't think so. I tried Darktable and came to the same conclusion as you.
BTW DNG conversion is quite easy. Adobe has a DNG converter that is free to download. After installation, open the converter select the files you want to convert, select a location (original folder or new folder) and click convert.
