Again, the more RAM the merrier, but don’t neglect dedicated graphics for AI tools. The macOS performance refreshed from Luminar 4, particularly for those users who invested in the new M1 Processor MacBook models. Running Luminar AI with 8GB of RAM is taxing. If not, effects can take their time to load. Moreover, you need at least 16GB of RAM and i5/Ryzen 5 processors to perform at peak capabilities.
If you don’t run 3d acceleration from your graphics card, performance issues are known. The Catalog module is decluttered from Luminar 4, but it takes a while to load the image previews. To fully enjoy the editing capabilities of this software you need to switch to the Edit tab (unlike Luminar 4 which had the Edit tab as the default option). Honestly not worth the investment considering there aren’t that big amount of templates available for sale yet, and the Sky Textures could be acquired for way less from other vendors (or free if you create your own Sky Textures). Pro Plan – Luminar X Membership ($59/year) In case you’re wondering, the “Luminar X Membership” sends you content on a regular basis: tutorials, unique sky textures for Sky AI, and gives you a 15% discount on Marketplace.īasic Plan – Luminar X Membership ($39/year)
The products shown in the Templates Tab are direct links to their Skylum Marketplace or incentives to buy the Luminar X Subscription. The software not only takes more resources to fully load, with a time increase of about three times the initial launch time in Luminar 4 (and despite running under an NVME SSD) but also comes with a lot of promotion stuff that one could initially say it’s noise. The UI was simplified, following the trend set by Adobe with Lightroom CC. In a crude comparison between the two versions, Luminar AI isn’t much apart from Luminar 4.
