Luminar 2018 jupiter download1/15/2024 ![]() Hope you like the review- the data part is empirical but of course I express my opinions about other aspects, both positive and not positive. Skylum is also including a bunch of extra freebies, many of which look useful. In my article I also have links and codes that allow you to piggyback discounts if you have an interest in purchasing or upgrading from the 2017 version. BTW, this update is free to current owners of Luminar 2018. I also covered most of the other significant changes in the update. But in all fairness, I don't know how they conducted their tests. In case you saw Skylum's charts in their marketing, they make it look faster than my real world tests. I have been hearing that Windows users aren't seeing speed increases as dramatic as on Mac platform. I did my testing on an averagely equipped laptop and a fast desktop, both Macs. I spent the last couple weeks throwing tough files (Fuji X-Trans 24MP, Sony 42MP) at the Luminar Jupiter update that was officially released yesterday (12 April) Skylum gave me an advance copy to do the testing so I wrote a review of this new release of Luminar, which I just posted on my blog and was also picked up by PetaPixel. I'm impressed with the 7Artisans overall but it only works for IR at wider apertures (f0.95 through about f2.8.) Then again that's why you buy an f/0.95 lens. Regarding IR, the Voiglander is free of hotspots from 1.2 through about f3.5. After trying 2 samples of the Voigtlander I returned them both but mainly for their strange and unacceptable (for my work) performance with resolution. ![]() I have recently shot with the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 Fuji-X and 7Artisans 35mm f0.95 Fuji-X. I can't update the PetaPixel one as they just republished what was on my blog at the time. In fact, same with the Sony and Micro 4/3 with the exception of the two Sony APS-C zooms that were rented.Īlso when I get new lenses, I'll update the article on my blog. The eight Fuji mount lenses shown in my article I bought myself. I consider the sites for which I provide links to be complementary and I wish there were more sites out there evaluating for infrared.Īlthough I test for infrared quite thoroughly I can only afford so many lenses. My article is only Fuji-centric because that is my system of choice though I've done a ton of IR work with Sony FF as well. ![]() I also have two other links on there with various IR tests. If you read to the end of my article you'll see (in the section "Resources") I have a link for Simon Weir's site. Hope you don't mind my reaction, I have nothing against Skylum but I thought I have to mention this.No thunder stolen. When I bought the first version it was Mac only. Oh, for I forget I used Luminar on a Mac. So in my opinion it's a good program for editing but not that good for RAW processing.īut all together I switched to some other programs. They put a lot of filters in their program and if you like them they are fine.Īnother plus is the possibility of using LUT's. So about the RAW processing I'm not that happy. In my opinion it is important when you convert RAW files that you have the possibility to use the corrections made by the camera like Fuji wants it. They promise that long, long ago and still nothing changed. I contacted them and they recognise this. Take a photo with the 18mm with vertical lines and you will see what I mean, it's really bad. But even now the lens corrections are not automatically and the in camera corrections Fuji made will not be read. ![]() I bought Luminar 2017 and did upgrade to 2018 because of their promises. If it beats out Adobe, I don't know because I don't use it.
