| Hey Guys, | I'm with Macphun software and I would like to invite you to check out our new open beta of Luminar |for Windows. It is fully compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 and we will really appreciate your feedback. | Guys? And no links or info? First impressions, after finding your site: * How is it that a graphic editing company can't make a website that works properly? Your page is not even self-sizing. Yet you put lots of work into the cutesy special effects at the top. And your download button doesn't work. Let me guess... It's broken because it requires gratuitous script, right? So I have to enable script to figure out what the heck you're talking about? Even though I've never heard of Luminar? Perhaps you could ease up on the "artistry" of your site and consider usability. (Speaking of artistry, why does it look like someone broke a pillow around Neptune? Since when are stars line-shaped?) * I don't see anything about a Windows version. Is that a different website that you neglected to mention? * My first impression is that it's mostly special effects tools for Mac users who don't really edit photos but want to play with "wow" effects. I can't really tell, because you don't actually describe the product. But it's "AI-powered". Oh, boy. So it's gimmicks to describe gimmicks? * $69? More than I paid for Paint Shop Pro 16. And I think Aftershot Pro was something like $20. Why, exactly do I need AI-pumped Neptune? So I can snaz up my photos without understanding photo editing? * If you want to sell to Windows users you might consider providing more in-depth information than "Makes all your photos great!" On the other hand, I noticed there's no "asset management" crap. That's a plus. |

Yet you put lots of work into the cutesy special effects at the top. And your download button doesn't work. user error again. Let me guess... It's broken because it requires gratuitous script, right? So I have to enable script to figure out what the heck you're talking about? user error a third time. very, very few sites work with javascript disabled. don't criticize a company's web site when you have disabled standard functionality in your browser. Even though I've never heard of Luminar? you haven't heard of a lot of things. Perhaps you could ease up on the "artistry" of your site and consider usability. (Speaking of artistry, why does it look like someone broke a pillow around Neptune? Since when are stars line-shaped?) wtf are you talking about?? * I don't see anything about a Windows version. Is that a different website that you neglected to mention? you didn't look very hard. * My first impression is that it's mostly special effects tools for Mac users who don't really edit photos but want to play with "wow" effects.

I have no problem with companies adding training wheels to their software. But the training wheels should be easily removable. That's one of the problems with PSP16. It has 3 windows. Two are nonsense. Yet I can't even set the default, much less remove the two. So it always opens to PSPs useless Explorer clone. The third window is a pointless quick-apply window. Same functionality that's in the main editor, but with the focus on only applying an operation or filter. Considering how long Corel have been at it, their UI design is surprisingly bad. |

I have no problem with companies adding training wheels to their software. But the training wheels should be easily removable. you really have no clue about this stuff.

I hope it was a joke. $100+ for a program that does what I just said I don't want: Redundant file system functionality and dummy filters. I only want a decent editor. I never alter images to look like cray-pas drawings and I don't have any need to erase skin pores from fashion models. Nor am I interested in anything like a "Renoir lighting filter". With images for the Web I'm usually dealing with pasting, altering, resizing, etc. With photos I'm typically just focussed on color, clarity, etc. Trying to get what I think is the best quality image rather than trying to create something new. I realize that's sometimes a fine line. But crossing the line usually looks gimmicky, with a look of, "I did it because I could". Or it looks commercial. (Why do women's magazine cover designers insist on eye colors that don't exist, for example? Do they really think an airbrush cartoon of a movie star is more compelling than a real photo? I don't.) |
