For this photo I used Macphun’s Luminar for Windows 1.0 to apply the following filters: Accent – AI, Microstructure and Saturation/Vibrance. I wasn’t going for anything dramatic here. I actually wanted to compare Luminar to ACDSee Ultimate.
Luminar provides you with a set of filters to manipulate your images as well as a nice set of presets for you to use. If you find a combination of filters you use over and over again, you can save it as a custom preset. You can also import presets which other users share.
It makes a nice replacement for Google’s Nik software which they have discontinued.
