In a recent article on my blog, I had listed some of the best alternatives to Lightroom that are equally powerful but cheap at the same time. Out of all those I mentioned about, I have been using Macphun’s Luminar the most and found that it is the best alternative I could have found to Adobe’s Lightroom.
If you’re looking for an amazing free photo editor and you don’t want to purchase expensive software like Photoshop, you have many choices. Today, I will show you the Top 5 photo editing.

Luminar comes from Macphun, the award winning company which has already released a lot of popular photo editing tools like- Tonality, Noiseless, Snapheal and of course, Aurora HDR. While the other tools from Macphun have been catering to specific photo editing style, Luminar has been built from ground up as a full-fledged photo editor.

With more than 3 months of use, I could say I didn’t find it difficult to adapt to Luminar’s workspace and workflow. I was up and running within few hours and since then, there has been no looking back. What makes Luminar one of the best photo editing tool out there is:
Best Photo Editor For Mac 2017
- Support for Layers.
- A huge set of Filters, offering control to edit almost every aspect of an image.
- Powerful Noise removal engine.
- Adaptive UI that adapts to the way you work.
- Ability to create Workspaces to suite different types of workflows.
- In-built collection of Presets with a lot more available online.
- Support for editing RAW images and Batch Processing.
- Available as a standalone tool as well as plugin for Photoshop or Lightroom.
- One license provides access to run the software on as many as 5 machines.
The best part about Luminar is, the more you play, the more interesting results you achieve. Working on a single layer is good, but adding another layer and applying filters to it results into completely new looking photos.
