I wanted to see how Luminar AI works when compared to Lightroom in 2021, and to do so I took one image — a photo of a lavender field in the south of France — and processed it in both.
First, let’s start with Lightroom. I chose to do some basic development to get the exposure right using the highlights, shadows, exposure, basic white balance, white points, and black points.

TTArtisan has announced a new Leica M-Mount rangefinder lens that, even upon close inspection, looks remarkably similar to a Leica optic. The company promises smooth transitions between objects and bokeh for a “dreamy picture” with ideal depth of field and background…
When looking for a notebook well-suited to photo and editing, it makes a lot of sense for Windows users to look at laptops designed for gaming. After all, a gaming computer focuses on a powerful GPU, robust CPU and fast memory, all important components when trying to get the…
Back in 1996, Sony launched its first consumer digital camera, the DSC-F1. It had one-third of a Megapixel, four megabytes of built-in memory, a 1.8-inch screen, and a lens housing that could rotate 180 degrees for comfortable waist-level shooting or selfies.

Fashion photography is expensive. Even a small test shoot has some costs associated with it. What is more expensive is good fashion photography.
Cameras, lights, modifiers, crew, retouching, locations all add up to some ghastly sums. But what if it doesn’t have to be that…
Many of Nikon’s crop-sensor DX-format DSLRs and at least one lens are either not being actively restocked or showing as “old product,” which has led some to question the future of the company’s APS-C DSLR support.
As noted by Nikon Rumors, most Nikon D3500 and…

Goran Anastasovski is a Macedonian photographer who has spent over 15 years working to capture the character of animals in his photos. One of his ongoing projects is to show tender love across animal species.
“I have been doing photography since 2006, and I like to photograph animals the most,” Anastasovski tells PetaPixel. “I want my photos to show the character of the animals. Even though…
Leica recently announced that it would be bringing a 24-70mm f/2.8 to its first-party L-mount lens lineup, but there has been speculation that the lens is simply a rebranded Sigma Art optic.
As Leica Rumors originally reported, while there appears to be no official…
Some photographers are known for their black and white work (think Ansel Adams, Henrí Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, or Sebãstio Salgado) – while others are known for their use of color (think Ernst Haas, Joel Meyerowitz, Martin Paar, or Steve McCurry). Do you have a…
Heads up: Google’s unlimited uploads for high-quality photos is ending on June 1st, 2021. That means you only have a few weeks left to back up as many pictures as you can on the service before the new free storage limit kicks in.
Google announced back in November 2020 that it would be putting an end to its unlimited photo storage for non-paying users.
After June 1st, any new photos or videos…
