I'm thinking about shifting to Macphun's Luminar https://macphun.com/luminar. Is there anybody using this photo editor? What I'd like to find out is how it works with LR. Are there any drawbacks?
Can you suggest any other alternatives for Mac?

I am not sure if you still need it but anyway it may help someone. So, i think that the best photo editors for every OS are Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom. Or when i need fast photo-editing i use some online services like http://fixthephoto.com and others

Take a look at Affinity Photo. I switched from Photoshop Elements about a year ago and am very happy with the program. It was built for the Mac and has many great features.

I'm not connected with Affinity in any way -- just a satisfied customer.

I agree, this is a very good alternative to the Adobe software.

I wanted to avoid getting trapped into a subscription situation with Photoshop. Affinity is non-subscription and priced quite reasonably at around $50 USD. Given its wealth of features, I think it's a very good deal at that price.

It's up to version 1.6x and the 'x' updates have been free. They've said they will charge an upgrade fee when they make the leap to V2.
