ON1 Photo RAW 2019 is an impressive piece of software – especially considering the price. Fortunately, IPTC support is “In Development” on their feature roadmap. For some photographers, this will be a deal breaker. You can’t view nor edit (individually or in batch) IPTC keyword or other metadata information. Although Luminar allows for star ratings and is folder aware, it’s lacking keyword support. Many photographers rely on Lightroom’s catalog functionality to organize and find specific images. Like most “auto” enhancement features, Luminar’s AI Image Enhancer seems to boost contrast and vibrance without affecting noise. The software has a number of “AI” enhancements although it’s unclear whether there’s actually any AI happening locally, or whether their algorithm was trained by AI.

Luminar’s “Looks” are equivalent to Lightroom’s Presets, but Luminar provides thumbnail previews rather than relying on a “mouse over” to preview the change.

The software has pro level controls, but the workspaces allow amateurs (or the time constrained) less choice for less confusion. But unlike Lightroom, Luminar offers “workspaces,” which hide or reveal certain controls depending on how into the weeds you want to get with editing. Luminar has an “Edit” mode that is akin to Lightroom’s Develop module. You can traverse your images by folder, and the Library also adopts some Apple Photo-like conventions by providing a photo “stream” organized by date. In 2018, the company rebranded to Skylum and added key features like a library function that gave it some parity with Lightroom’s catalog. The last time we looked at Luminar in 2017, it was a relatively new entrant into the parametric editing software realm created Macphun – a company that originally created iPhone apps.

All of the options provide free trial periods, which is worth taking advantage of to learn the pros and cons. Many of the options are moving towards building more “one click” smart editing options, which is both reflective of the Instagram filter generation, as well as providing good results to time-pressed pros. We did a quick evaluation of some of the popular alternatives using a Mac Pro (Late 2013) with 64GB of RAM. None of the tools we evaluated has as much IPTC/Metadata Working Group support as Lightroom.

Each manufacturer has their own special sauce for rendering RAW files (even if they’re using open source software as their backbone), which can potentially give you very different results in the appearance of the image – at least in the initial, default render.There are some important differences to be aware of: The RAW processing engines of each software can yield dramatically different results out of the box.
