Luminar - a great alternative to Photoshop

Luminar 2018 is a newish (2016) photo editing package that works as a plug-in, or as a standalone application, for editing your images. It's put out by Skylum (formerly Macfun), costs A$99 (no subscription needed) and works by either choosing a style from one if its many presets or by adding filter effects, in the form of layers, to the file. It comes with a huge range of effects that are easy to identify (because of their name) - which are very effective. Here are a couple of short how-to videos using Luminar
