Thanks for that, very nice intro. I have a tip: If you have the license to run two copies of the program, it is possible to have your edits and photos synced across two devices. I use Onedrive and have installed the Luminar catalogue in a Onedrive synced folder. This allows me to edit on my tablet PC in the field and then when back in the office continue on my main PC, exactly where I left off. Luminar Neo seems to keep the edits associated with the file (Raw or Jpeg) and not the folder location of the file, so if you edit a photo and then move it to a new location Luminar Neo seems to keep up and doesn't lose the edits (so far anyway!). A negative when using Luminar's AI tools is that it is all too easy to overdo it and over edit, especially using sky replacements. Less is often more! Otherwise the latest incarnation really is an excellent photo editor/developer and is much more stable than earlier versions. Another negative is the limited filtering functionality in the main catalogue screen, you can't sort by lens or camera or indeed a multitude of useful criteria such as ISO. This is very annoying, although a work around using other software to search and then opening the image in Luminar Neo from the other software works OK. However, Luminar definitely would be improved with more functionality to filter the catalogue. I'm happy to be corrected if I have got things wrong!
