Anyway, if you really like the Fuji emulations, they have been promised for ON1 in due course. I also find the starting point to be very natural in general - less bland than LR's "Adobe standard" but less contrasty than the Provia or Astia presets. ON1 is virtually on a par in detail but offers far more than X-Transformer + LR in getting the image the way you want. Although in terms of pure resolution detail, it is certainly second to none, neither the "look" nor the colour rendition are always convincing. I'm afraid I've never been entirely convinced by X-Transformer. I would love to be able to drop LR so have high hopes for Luminar. On1 is doing so well with layers and the interface works so well I seldom leave it. On occasion I use Luminar and I use Affinity Photo instead of PS. All my processing is done in ON1 PR2017 (2018 when the beta is done). If Luminar is capable of maintaining this file naming structure I will be switching. LR keeps both the RAW and Jpg associated with it, the same name. The other issue is that I shoot both RAW + Jpg (I have my reasons) and most applications treat them as two separate files when naming them on import which makes it difficult to keep them together without a ridiculous work-around. The other come close but nothing like the following: Much easier to find photographs and keeps the folder window clean and organized. Since 2005 I have been using a date system and use keywording for searches. I do not use a confusing shoot based naming system like “flowers” ‘holiday” etc., etc. I have Media Pro, CaptureOne, and Ingestamatic but only LR does it correctly. At the moment I am stuck using LR to import my photos because of how I file them.
